en ABCD Retracement 8.0
Metatrader Indicator (MT4/MT5)
-
ℹ Overview
This indicator finds AB=CD retracement patterns. The AB=CD Retracement pattern is a 4-point price structure where the initial price segment is partially retraced and followed by an equidistant move from the completion of the pullback, and is the basic foundation for all harmonic patterns.
- Find harmonacci retracements easily
- Learn the basics of harmonacci patterns
- Useful to find cheap and expensive zones
- Customizable AC and BD ratios (for purists)
- t displays SL and TP levels based on CD fibo levels
- It implements visual/sound/push/mail alerts
AB=CD Retracements can expand and repaint quite a bit. To make things easier this indicator implements a twist: it waits for a donchian breakout in the right direction before signaling the trade. The end result is an otherwise repainting indicator with a very reliable trading signal. The donchian breakout period is entered as an input.
- Bullish retracements are blue
- Bearish retracements are red
Kindly note that price patterns such as AB=CD can expand and the indicator must repaint to follow the expansion of the pattern. If the pattern repaints beyond the AC/BD/AB=CD ratios entered in the parameters, the pattern will dissapear as it won't be valid any more. To trade these patterns, please resort to the donchian breakout signal.
