There are six harmonic price patterns:

  1. En ABCD Pattern
  2. En Three-Drive Pattern
  3. En Gartley Pattern
  4. En Crab Pattern

3-Step Price Pattern Recognition Process

The three basic steps in spotting harmonic price patterns are the following

  • Step 1: Locate a potential harmonic price pattern
  • Step 2: Measure the potential harmonic price pattern
  • Step 3: Buy or sell on the completion of the harmonic price pattern

Again, harmonic price patterns are so perfect that they are very difficult to spot.

More than knowing the steps, you need to have hawk-like eyes to spot potential harmonic price patterns and a lot of patience to avoid jumping the gun and entering before the pattern is completed.

With enough practice and experience, trading using harmonic price patterns can yield a lot of pips!
