Harmonic Patterns are one of the powerful advanced price action techniques that are used to detect reactions. The thing that works about Harmonic Patterns is that they use the confluence method, meaning that they expect reactions from clusters of certain levels defined by Fibonacci retracements. The reason they work has nothing to do with mystic or magic whatsoever, it is simply the fact that Fibonacci retracements are used by many traders and their visibility makes reactions more likely, thus increasing the predictive power of the patterns. However, only using Harmonic Patterns on their own might not be sufficient as we will see below, they are best combined with contrarian indicators to increase the chances of a profitable trade.

I have released a new book called “Contrarian Trading Strategies in Python”. It features a lot of advanced contrarian indicators and strategies with a GitHub page dedicated to the continuously updated code. If you are interested, you could buy the PDF version directly through a PayPal payment of 9.99 EUR.
