ABCD Pattern

Bilateral58% Win Rate~8 bars to target

The ABCD pattern is the most fundamental harmonic pattern. Price moves AB (impulse), retraces BC (38–88% of AB), then extends CD equal in time and price to AB. The D point is the entry zone — a classic measured move pattern.

How to Identify the ABCD Pattern

  1. 1Leg AB: initial strong impulse move (up or down)
  2. 2Leg BC: retracement of 38–88% of AB — the correction phase
  3. 3Leg CD: equal in length to AB (price), often equal in time too
  4. 4The D point is the entry zone — completion of the measured move

When to Trade It

Enter at point D (completion of CD leg equaling AB length). Stop beyond D by 1–2%. Target: 38–61.8% retracement of the CD leg (C to D halfway point). Ideal when D aligns with a Fibonacci level or Saty ATR trigger.

EdgeOS integration: look for momentum confirmation in the direction of the breakout via SCTR and EdgeOS counts to align the pattern signal with the EdgeOS system for highest-conviction entries.
