Trading The Gartley -ABC

Hi There, I just started a new post “KISS Principle Trading” and in it I am putting my live trades (as much as possible) and its results as we go along. However, a few of our fellow traders mentioned that they found the Gartley a complicated method. This is why I decided to start this new topic where I can show in ONE page how to trade this pattern. I called it “The Novice Version”. Here I will also add examples as well as a Video in the future.

For now, I will list the key tools we need and place the one page document.

TOOLS:

  1. Drawing Trend Lines & Identifying a Trend
  2. Japanese Candlestick patterns
  3. RSI Divergence
  4. Highs & Lows
  5. Fibonacci retracements/extensions

I am not here to train on any of the above, If you are not verse on all of the above 5 tools then I suggest that this is not the post for you. On the other hand however, I can say that most of my profits come from trading this pattern and it is VERY EASY…at least for me.

I am currently working on FOCUSING my trading only in two type of entries:

  1. The Gartley
  2. Fibonnaci retracements in the direction of the current trend

Anything else, double tops, double bottoms, RSI divergence against the trend, Wedges, Flags, etc are to be avoided. So I am making my goal this year to limit my trading to these two trading methods.

Happy Trading

PS: I tried uploading the file but it didnt let me coz this is a new topic. So I will wait to do it in the next posts later on.
