Harmonic Trading Tips

These harmonic trading tips are based on the questions I often get emailed about.

Money Management - Trading smarter - not harder

This is my favourite trading tip of all time - so I've put it at the top of the list. How would you like to more than double your account balance in a year - no matter what your account size? It's possible - all you have to do is win 0.3% a day to grow your account 120% every year. It's all about trading smarter and using compounding to do the hard work for you.

Explaining Price Action

Trade Entry Criteria and Trade Risk Criteria for Harmonics

With over 400 patterns, typically, daily - not all of them are good quality or even valid. So how do you decide which patterns to trade and which ones to avoid? This trading tip is all about how to increase your chances of getting into a good harmonic trade, (keeping out of low probability trades) - and also how to know when to use maximum risk (more lots) for more profits - or to reduce risk and trade lighter when required.

Harmonic Pattern Recognition Software - What Works Best?

I often get asked "How come you've got a pattern on your chart and I don't?". It's common knowledge - there are inherent limitations in all pattern recognition softwares. It doesn't matter what software you're using. Click here to find out how I get better quality (high probability/low risk) harmonic patterns - and more of them.

What to do when a pattern changes in the middle of a trade?

Patterns often "morph" - change into another one, or a bigger one, while you're already in a trade. So, do you close your old trade? Move your stop loss below the new prz? is that a good idea? So how to trade this quite common event? Click here - for some ideas.
