Which ratios define common XABCD patterns?

Gartley and Bat rely on specific XA retracements and AB/BC projections; Butterfly extends beyond X (e.g., 127–161.8%); AB=CD aims for a 1:1 symmetry of the AB and CD legs.

How do I confirm entries in XABCD trading?

Wait for PRZ/PCZ reactions with structure breaks, candle confirmation, or confluence like trendlines or momentum divergence before executing.

Where do stops and targets go?

Stops go just beyond PRZ invalidation; targets commonly use 38.2–61.8% retraces of the CD leg, AB=CD completions, and 127–161.8% extensions.

Q: What is XABCD trading?

XABCD trading uses five-point harmonic patterns with Fibonacci ratios to define a Potential/Price Reversal Zone (PRZ/PCZ) for trade entries and risk management.

Learn XABCD trading the right way. This collection organizes our best harmonic pattern guides (AB=CD, Gartley, Butterfly, Cypher, Double Drive, 121, and more) together with practical price-action confirmations. Each guide includes ratios, PRZ/PCZ confluence, time/price symmetry, entries, stops and targets—plus examples. Start with the fundamentals, then dive into pattern-specific rules and checklists to plan precise trades with discipline.

What is XABCD Trading?

XABCD trading maps five swing points (X-A-B-C-D) to project a Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) with Fibonacci rules.
Common XABCD sets include Gartley, Bat, Butterfly, Crab, and Cypher.
The edge comes from confluence—when PRZ ratios align with structure and timing.
Use it to plan precise entries, stops, and measured targets.

Harmonic Trading: Ratios, PRZ/PCZ & Symmetry

Harmonic trading relies on Fibonacci retracements (e.g., 38.2%–88.6%) and extensions (e.g., 1.13–1.618).
AB=CD symmetry (100%, 127%, 161.8%) often completes inside a tight PRZ/PCZ.
Stronger setups show multiple ratio agreements on XA/AB/BC/CD.
Add time/price symmetry as a quality filter—not a hard rule.

Price Action that Confirms or Invalidates

Let price action confirm the PRZ: rejection wicks, engulfing breaks, or clean break-retests of structure.
Invalidation is simple: decisive closes beyond the PRZ or prior swing.
Track higher-high/lower-low shifts and compression/expansion into D.
No signal? Stand aside—discipline preserves edge.
