Many aspiring newcomers join the Financial markets in seek of their fortunes, but come to realize the harsh reality.

Trading with the Z Pattern will provide you with astonishing results. All what you, as a trader have to do is to trade the pattern over and over again and build your account up with explosive profits, time after time.

What is the Z Pattern?

The Z Pattern is a never seen before and newly discovered fractal pattern on the line chart.

Price moves in fractals, and like many fractal patterns the Z pattern is one of it’s own kind. This pattern benefits from strong momentums. It relies on the very move that created it in order to reverse the move.That is why it’s traded as a reversal pattern and pinpoints the exact ‘momentum reversal’ of price.

In a fast paced market trade execution is key and triggering a trade from the right level gives traders the ultimate advantage. It lies in the nature of the pattern, that creates exceptional opportunities for traders to jump on a trade just before price is going to make an explosive move. And that is what we need to make money. The right combination of trade execution + explosive price movement.

You don’t need to be a trading veteran to take advantage of the Z Pattern. In order to make money you need to familiarise yourself with the pattern and be able to identify it. Here are examples of how the pattern works magic on the charts:

In this example prices were dropping rapidly. But the Z Pattern pinpointed an explosive momentum reversal.

Price on the charts was in a strong and steady Trend. While markets were giving price a short breather an excellent Z Pattern emerged to put traders in line with the main Trend.

Utilizing the ‘’ Equidistant Channel’’

Here is where you’ll find it,

Or go to insert—>Channel

Once selected pick the starting point (number 1) of what you believe could be a Z Pattern and drag to the outer edge (number 3)


Next step is to drag the other point of the channel to one of the remaining points.


That process is to verify the Z Pattern. Once it meets the criteria you’ll place your entries based on the rules named above.

EUR/USD H4 25.SEPTEMBER.2013


That is the latest setup I played. The lines from top to bottom represent stop loss,entry and take profit.

Cheers

Clearly new concept to me. But I think this one is amazing. keep up your good work.

EUR/USD 3. SEPTEMBER.2013


In this setup price made a quick dip to hit TP and moved back up before continuing to move lower.
The “Z” pattern is a a reversal signal and is only useful on it’s own. Independent from main trend or other timeframes not to mention any indicators or tools that calculate price in the past… Essentially the pattern indicates a breather in the market or a loophole that allows us trade it.

Don’t hesitate to ask any question regarding the pattern.

Cheers

Nice trade mate.

[B]very interesting system, do you play it at another timeframe or pair … thanks for sharing[/B]

Hi bic rule,

I only play it on the H4 Eur/Usd.
It is on that pair and timeframe where “z” pattern has it’s best performance, given that one is following the rules I mentioned in the first few posts.

Cheers

[B]would you please put more examples on charts to be familiar with this great pattern and its variations[/B]

Of course, here is the latest setup.


and the relevant line chart


However I did not take it for 2 reasons:

1- risk to reward would be fairly low

2- as pointed out on the picture the low of the pattern was taken out already, which makes it invalid for me.

Regardless price pushed higher.

Cheers

Eur/Usd 4hr.


That was an easy play and easy to spot setup.
However if anyone feels they have difficulties identifying the pattern on the line chart then I suggest to outline the 3 common setups that I mentioned in the first few posts.Have them in front of you. Then go far back on your line charts and slide forward until you spot anything alike the
patterns that you have. Each time you spot one verify it drawing the lines. It becomes second nature quite quickly.

Cheers

A very high quality Z pattern on other pairs is rare to appear and quite difficult to spot. However occasionally I find such setups and trade them with the same rules.

Cheers

Interesting Kasravi.
I saw your name on the thread and I knew would be a good thing.
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Kazravi,

Another known name starting his own thread, I am going to be even more busy now.

Funny because I started thinking that there was something going on in charts that looked like a Z and I searched the internet to see if it existed but it didn’t seem to. My approach was a bit different and also it required one of the PA signals (PB, BUEB or BEEB) to happen but I will definitely study your method in more depth and hopefully participate in spotting them and sharing on your thread.

Just showing you what I did just for your information: (Feel free to let me know if you want me to remove it, I don’t want to put any confusion in your thread as it is still at its early stage)

I wish you all the best for this thread and you can count on me to keep it lively !

Yves

You’re very welcome, I will post patterns as they come to make it more comprehensive.

Cheers

Hi Yves,

Yeah that Z Pattern has been always on the charts. I traded it for a long time and finally got around to explain it in a easy to understand manner.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Cheers

Hi Kazravi,

First question. I have been trying to spot the Z Pattern. I managed to get the one on the 25 September. I then tried another one which I know didn’t work. (charts below)

How could we have told that it wouldn’t work ? Is it because there are 2 candles after the upmove whereas there is normally only one ?



Thanks very much,

Yves

Sorry, I will zoom in next time.
