FAQ

What is an ABC pattern in trading?

An ABC pattern is a three-point corrective wave structure where price moves from A to B (impulse), retraces from B to C (correction), then continues in the original direction. ABC patterns are one of the most common pullback setups used to enter trends at favorable prices.

Which timeframes work best for ABC pattern trading?

ABC patterns appear on all timeframes. Day traders typically use 5-minute to 15-minute charts with smaller detection sizes, while swing traders prefer 1-hour to daily charts with larger detection sizes. ABC Pattern Pro's dual-size detection lets you monitor both scales simultaneously.

How does ABC Pattern Pro validate patterns?

ABC Pattern Pro validates each pattern using Fibonacci retracement depth — the BC leg must retrace a configurable percentage of the AB leg to qualify. Optional time symmetry filtering further improves pattern quality by ensuring proportional leg durations.

What entry methods does ABC Pattern Pro offer?

ABC Pattern Pro offers two entry methods. Bar Confirmation waits for price to close beyond the C confirmation bar's extreme. Retracement Entry triggers when price closes beyond a configurable retracement level of the BC leg. Bar Confirmation is more conservative; Retracement Entry provides earlier entries.

How are take profit targets calculated in ABC Pattern Pro?

ABC Pattern Pro offers three target methods. Fixed Risk Reward uses a multiplier of the risk distance. AB Projection replays a percentage of the AB leg from point C. Reciprocal Ratio auto-calculates targets based on the pattern's Fibonacci depth using Carney's projection method.
