The ABCD harmonic is one of the simplest, yet most fundamental and profitable patterns to trade (says Scott Carney). Carney’s criteria are freely available on various internet sources and on YouTube. Importantly, finding the pattern and ensuring it is accurate is only the first phase of any potential trade setup. There are several other steps ...
It’s an interesting word but not many know it’s full meaning. It isn’t about becoming an automaton.

I’ve been studying harmonics now for the last 6 months or so. It’s not been an easy task. This introduction is a summary of what I have learned about how they may be used and some of the difficulties. Harmonic trading is about finding and exploiting certain patterns that are regularly seen in all kinds ...
