Scanner Chart

Main thing you will do when using a harmonic scanner is to watch the chart in front of you. You will select a currency pair and watch if it has any harmonic pattern available.

Small window “Show/Hide All” shows you which pattern is available on the chart. If there is any you will see the pattern on the list.

Take a look in the image above. You have a list of patterns the scanner is detected and you can select which one you want to watch.

By clicking on the button on the right side next to the pattern name you will select or deselect the pattern from the chart.

Have in mind that you have two options. First option is using a harmonic scanner to show you only one pattern by selecting the “Show” button. If you press the show button you will have only that pattern on the chart.

If you click on the toggle button left from the “Show” button you will remove that pattern from the chart and all other patterns will stay on the chart visible.

So, these two buttons are for showing and removing certain patterns from the chart. This gives you more options to choose.

This is a good option to have because sometimes you have several patterns at the same time. And if you want to use two patterns to confirm the same trading idea then it is good to remove all other patterns which do not fit into the analysis.

Use Scanner Background Settings

If you want to prepare a chart to the desired background color you can do that by clicking on the bottom right corner where the settings button is.

When you click on the settings button you need to select the bottom option “Scales Properties”.

When you click that you will get a new window where more options are available. Select the “background” tab and you will have the option to change the background color.

Change Background Color

Now you can change the background color if you want to use a harmonic scanner defined by your preferences.

As you can see I have put white and black color settings because I like to have a clean chart in front of me. What you can see is I have set my candlesticks to be white and black so I do not have too many colors on the chart.

If you want to change the colors of the bars take a look at the next image.

Scanner Candlestick Color

To use a harmonic scanner with other candlestick colors you need to switch on “Style” tab and change the colors.

If you want to use the same color settings I have on the chart just change the colors as on the image below.

White color will be for bullish candle and black color will be for bearish candle.

Scanner Drawing Tools

When you have prepared charts for trading you need to prepare yourself for making analysis. Trading analysis is different from trader to trader so I will here explain only the basics you need to do when trading harmonic patterns.

Use harmonic drawing tools like horizontal lines to make support and resistance levels. Those lines can be drawn by using drawing tools on the harmonic scanner which is shown in the image below.

Those lines are shown on the chart as green lines and represent levels where buyers and sellers will make action on the market and the price will react. The price will move up or down depending on its support or resistance.

结论

Using a harmonic scanner is pretty easy and straightforward. You use a scanner to read the chart and to get harmonic patterns detected on the chart so you can enter into the trade or analyze the market.

What I am doing is to draw support and resistance lines to see where they are and where the price can reverse.

That way I increase the probability of harmonic pattern success and profitability.

The best option is to use a harmonic scanner app which will detect patterns for you so you do not need to waste time and energy.

You only need to make the trading analysis and select which pattern to trade.
