Introduction to Harmonic Pattern Plus Software
Harmonic Pattern Plus is a Harmonic Pattern scanning software designed to work in MetaTrader 4 and 5. The purpose of the Harmonic Pattern Plus Software is to identify the turning point (or the trend reversal point) of the current trend by detecting the harmonic patterns with high prediction power. Harmonic patterns are made from multiple lines joined with significant Fibonacci ratios such as 0.618 and 0.382, which are used by many professional traders to gauge the price breakout level.
These harmonic patterns repeatedly occurs in the financial markets and the big trend reversal often follow after these patterns. These patterns were proven to accurately identify the turning point by many professional traders for more than 50 years.

Since then many professional traders improved and found other profitable patterns. Another useful source for harmonic pattern trading is the Scott M. Carney's book, Harmonic Trading (Profiting from the Natural order of Financial Markets). Each harmonic pattern consists of many lines joined by Fibonacci number.
