The “Gartley Hunter” indicator is designed to seek for and show harmonic buying and selling patterns or Gartley patterns on the chart. The seek for patterns may be performed each in fixed computerized scanning mode and utilizing scorching keys.
The indicator is ready to discover patterns of any dimension from the smallest to the most important. For comfort, the indicator is provided with a system of alerts and push notifications, which permits you to not miss a sample when it seems. We additionally applied a really detailed customization system.

“Zigzag” indicator
The “Gartley Hunter” indicator is predicated on the “Zigzag” indicator. The essence of this indicator (Zigzag) is to attach excessive factors (most and minimal factors on the chart). This occurs based on a sure method, which is predicated on one key parameter: “Depth”.
With out going into particulars, we are able to say that this parameter is answerable for the magnitude or dimension of extrema. The bigger this parameter, the bigger and extra important extrema it connects. Within the image beneath you possibly can see the distinction between depth parameters 12 and 25.
Logic of the “Gartley Hunter” indicator. Sample sizes
The “Gartley Hunter” indicator takes segments constructed utilizing the “Zigzag” indicator and makes use of them to seek for and assemble harmonic patterns. For these functions, we’ve launched a minimal and most depth parameter, which may be modified within the exterior parameters of the indicator:
- “ExtMindepth” is answerable for the smallest harmonic patterns. The default worth is 5.
- “ExtMaxdepth” is answerable for the most important harmonic patterns. The default worth is 30.
These settings are optimum, however you possibly can change it if you want. For instance, for those who do not need to use the smallest harmonic fashions, then you possibly can improve the minimal depth parameter (“ExtMindepth“) to 10.
The image beneath exhibits examples of small patterns with a depth of 5.
And right here we’ve medium patterns with a depth of 20.
Logic of the “Gartley Hunter” indicator. Scan step
Let’s examine a brand new essential parameter – “Scan step“. This parameter is answerable for the step inside which the indicator will transfer from the smallest to the most important indicator depth parameter. By default, scan step = 5.
For instance, to scan the depth vary from “ExtMindepth” = 5 to “ExtMaxdepth” = 30, the indicator must carry out 6 scans: 5,10,15,20,25,30. At every of the scanned depth ranges, the indicator can discover a harmonic sample. Which means a number of patterns might seem on the chart directly – giant and small.
If we, for instance, change the scanning step to 1, then it will likely be extra thorough: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 ,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30. Thus, the indicator will carry out 26 scans as an alternative of 6. A extra thorough scan masses the pc extra, however permits you to discover completely all attainable harmonic patterns. Nonetheless, there is no such thing as a specific want for it. Many of the patterns may be discovered with scanning step = 5.
The “Scan Step” parameter may be decreased or elevated straight from the indicator panel. The left arrow decreases it, and the precise arrow will increase it.
Computerized sample scanning
The seek for patterns happens routinely. To activate it, it’s essential click on the “Scan” button on the left aspect of the panel underneath the inscription “Patterns“. Now the seek for patterns will likely be carried out consistently and won’t be reset till you flip it off. It isn’t affected by rebooting the terminal or altering timeframes.
Handbook sample scanning
Computerized scanning happens when new ticks arrive within the terminal. For many buying and selling devices, that is solely related on weekdays. Scanning can also be launched when switching timeframes (with the “Scan” button pressed). If the market is closed, computerized scanning is not going to work. For these functions, we’ve launched a handbook scanning mode.
To manually scan the chart, click on on the circle with the clock (Hotkey “Shift + Z”). To delete patterns, click on on the cross subsequent to it(Scorching keys “Shift+X”).
Sample Projections
Projections are patterns that haven’t but been fashioned, however will seem if the worth reaches level D of the projection. The value of its formation can also be indicated there.
The looks of a projection doesn’t imply that the sample will go to level D. It means that it’ll seem if the worth will get there. Many individuals make the error of opening a commerce anticipating a motion to D.
To activate the automated seek for projections, it’s essential click on the “Scan” button on the precise aspect of the panel underneath the “Projections” inscription, after which resolve on the course of sample formation. Urgent the inexperienced button will activate ascending patterns, and urgent the pink button will activate descending patterns. Handbook scanning of projections is carried out in the identical means as sample scanning.
Hidden Sample Projections
Even supposing sample projections are very helpful as a result of they help you put together for the second the sample is fashioned, it’s merely not handy to see them consistently on the display. To unravel this downside, we added a “Cover” button, which is situated on the precise aspect of the panel. If you click on on it, the projections are hidden and displayed as horizontal traces on the precise aspect of the display.
Cease Loss and Take Revenue ranges
To the precise of every sample you possibly can see vertical rectangular areas which might be answerable for the Cease Loss and Take Revenue zones. These are the common values of stops and income which might be triggered most frequently. Take Revenue ranges are taken from Scott Cairney’s guide “Harmonic Buying and selling“. Cease Loss ranges are decided empirically and are calculated primarily based on the Fibonacci grid, which is constructed primarily based on the scale of the sample.
Look of patterns. Altering Sample Components
The indicator panel accommodates buttons which might be answerable for the looks of the sample:
- Triangle – Take away shading of triangles
- Textual content – Take away letters A-B-C-D-E, in addition to Fibonacci ranges
- Names – Take away sample names
- TP/SL Z – Take away filling of Cease Loss and Take Revenue zones
- TP/SL N – Take away worth tags at Cease Loss and Take Revenue ranges
By default, all parts are enabled and clicking on one of many buttons will take away one of many parts you do not want. Thus, in a few clicks you possibly can customise the handy look of the sample. See the instance within the image beneath:
Sample overlay
In some circumstances, we might observe a state of affairs the place two patterns seem in the identical place, the place one sample might overlap the opposite. You’ll be able to see an instance within the image beneath:
As you possibly can see, the place patterns of the identical shade overlap (pink on pink within the instance above), the colour disappears. That is because of the options of the buying and selling terminal. Subsequently, with the addition of recent patterns to the indicator, this downside might grow to be extra widespread.
To normalize the looks of the sample, the underside indicator panel described above may also assist on this case. As proven within the image beneath, you can provide the sample an easy-to-read look in a number of clicks:
Look of patterns. Indicator parts colours
The colours of all sample parts may be modified. This fashion you possibly can select the optimum visible template in your display shade scheme. You’ll be able to see which parameter is answerable for which shade beneath within the “Exterior parameters” part.
Within the instance beneath, I attempted to match the sample colours to the darkish gamma of the display.
Alert System
Now we have applied a system of Alerts and Push notifications within the indicator. Alerts are activated by urgent the “A” button on the indicator panel. Push notifications are enabled within the exterior parameters of the indicator. “UsePushWithAlert” parameter.
When a sample seems on the worth chart, the indicator will notify you about it. He’ll present the next info:
- Sample title
- Sample course
- The instrument on which the sample appeared
- Depth (sample dimension)
- Sample age
- Cease Loss degree worth
- Take Revenue 1 degree worth
- Take Revenue 2 degree worth
Such an in depth description was made on the request of customers who commerce from their telephones. On the similar time, the alert system is applied to the best extent within the multi-version of the indicator. It’s characterised by the evaluation of a number of dozen monetary devices directly in all attainable worth ranges. In such a state of affairs, alerts grow to be most related.
Redrawing patterns. A number of ranges of affirmation
The indicator doesn’t redraw patterns. It types it precisely in these zones by which it’s offered for by the harmonic buying and selling system. On the similar time, there are some circumstances by which an inexperienced person might mistake what is going on on the chart for redrawing. Let us take a look at it.
1. Slightly concept
If you’re accustomed to the Harmonic Buying and selling system, you understand that the ultimate exact sample formation is level D. It’s constructed utilizing a number of Fibonacci grids directly, however the important thing measurement is the ratio of A-B-C-D or A-D to X-A.
Let us take a look at the instance of the “Gartley” sample beneath. Its formation level is decided by the 78.6 Fibonacci degree (X-D). In any other case, A-B-C-D = XA * 0.786. Accordingly, this sample merely can’t be redrawn as a result of it’s not given the framework of the system. Which means it merely has nowhere to go. A single ultimate level of formation is current in 9 patterns out of 12. Which means 9 of 12 patterns are usually not redrawn.
2. Patterns “Butterfly”, “Anti-butterfly” and “Shark”
There are three patterns which have a number of attainable ranges of formation. For instance, if we have a look at the left aspect of the image beneath, we are going to discover that the Butterfly sample may be fashioned from each the 1.272 degree and the 1.41 degree. Which means worth can reverse from every of those ranges, which implies we’ve 2 potential reversal patterns, not only one. Accordingly, if one of many ranges, for instance 1.272, is damaged, the indicator will redraw the sample at 1.41 whether it is confirmed. This logic is embedded within the harmonic buying and selling system.
Redrawing patterns. Horizontal offset
It is usually value analyzing the state of affairs the place the precise wing of the sample can shift horizontally. This could occur when the worth doesn’t make sudden actions in any course, however continues to be inside the goal zone of the sample.
1. Slightly concept
The ultimate level of sample formation is decided when the worth closes above (for purchase) and beneath (for promote) the important thing Fibonacci degree. Within the instance beneath, take note of the “Butterfly” sample, which confirmed its first degree of sample improvement. The important thing level right here is to interrupt the 127.2 degree and shut the worth above this degree.
Now think about a state of affairs by which the second candle after the sign (level D) would break by means of the low fashioned by level D of the sample and return once more, closing above the extent of 127.2. In such a state of affairs, the circumstances of the sample would even be met, as a result of the closure would once more happen above the extent of 127.2. However on the similar time, we’d get a decrease low degree, and the precise wing of the sample would transfer two candles to the precise and barely decrease.
The determine above describes this hypothetical state of affairs. Actually, the sample moved a little bit decrease, however on the similar time all of the circumstances for its formation remained fulfilled. Actually, this can be known as redrawing, nevertheless it once more suits into the principles of the classical system of Harmonic buying and selling, since the circumstances for sample formation are met at each level 1 and level 2.
Admittances
To grasp what admittances are, you first want to know the precept of forming an excellent Gartley sample.
A really perfect sample implies an excellent ratio of all segments alongside Fibonacci ranges, the place every phase, upon closing, complied with the principles of the leve’s formation.
- Formation of the higher Fibo degree is a state of affairs the place the worth approaches the extent from backside to prime, touches it, after which closes beneath the extent.
- Formation of the decrease Fibo degree is a state of affairs the place the worth approaches the extent from prime to backside, touches it, after which closes above the extent.
If these circumstances are met for every phase of the sample, the sample is taken into account superb. However think about for a second the next state of affairs:
On the each day chart, a “Gartley” sample is fashioned, which completely fashioned all three segments: AB to XA, BC to AB and CD to BC. However the ultimate phase (AD to XA) didn’t attain the goal degree of 78.6 by a few factors, which doesn’t play any position for the each day chart (we’re speaking about a few factors).
Query: Ought to this sample be thought-about confirmed or not? In spite of everything, the circumstances weren’t met – the extent was not touched. An individual in such a state of affairs will conclude that the sample has been fashioned, however for the robotic the circumstances is not going to be met and it’ll not draw the sample.
For such conditions, we launched an admittances system that’s answerable for two facets:
Candle shadow admittances – The proportion of attainable failure of the candle shadow to achieve the goal degree. Parameter “ExtUncertaintyShadow” = 30. It is calculated primarily based on the gap from the goal degree to the earlier one. Utilizing the “Gartley” sample for example, the goal degree is 78.6%, and the earlier one is 61.8%. The space between ranges is taken as 100%. The “ExtUncertaintyShadow“ parameter = 30 signifies that the sample will likely be displayed if the shadow of the candle goes into the higher (for promote degree) or decrease ( for purchase degree ) 30% of the vary of ranges 61.8% and 78.6%.
The image above exhibits this logic schematically. We see that the worth didn’t attain the goal degree just a bit, however on the similar time fell into the admittances zone. Underneath such circumstances, the sample will likely be displayed by the indicator.
Candle physique admittances – The proportion of the candle physique that may transcend the goal degree. Parameter “ExtUncertaintyHead” = 30. It’s calculated primarily based on the gap from the goal degree to the following one. Utilizing the “Butterfly” sample for example, the goal degree is 127.2%, and the following one is 141%. The space between ranges is taken as 100%. The parameter “ExtUncertaintyHead” = 30 signifies that the sample will likely be displayed if the physique of the candle enters the higher (for purchase degree) or decrease (for a promote degree) 30% of the vary of ranges 127.2 and 141.
Within the image above we see that the closing worth of the candle barely exceeded the extent 127.2 we would have liked, falling inside the acceptable admittances degree of 30%. In such a state of affairs, the sample will likely be displayed.
If desired, the worth of each kinds of admittances may be set to 0%, which is able to suggest drawing solely superb patterns. However, as observe exhibits, admittances are obligatory, since fully superb patterns seem extraordinarily not often.
You’ll be able to check totally different admittances values, which might vary from 0% to 45%, and see how precisely the harmonic fashions carry out. Based on our expertise, an admittances worth of 30% for shadows and for our bodies is perfect.
