ABC Pattern Signals with Trend Clouds and Fibonacci Retracements
Summary
This indicator combines a moving-average trend cloud with ZigZag swing points to identify ABC pullbacks. It estimates trend direction from the placement of several simple and exponential moving averages relative to candle bodies. The recent ZigZag waves are then checked against configurable Fibonacci retracement bounds and an error allowance to decide whether an ABC structure fits the prevailing trend.
After a qualifying pattern, the indicator looks for a price bounce around one of the moving averages and plots a long or short triangle if its additional timing and swing constraints are satisfied. Users can adjust the ZigZag period, Fibonacci bounds, tolerance, average lengths, and display settings; alerts are available for signals. The description explains the construction and inputs but provides no performance statistics or systematic validation. ZigZag pivots and pattern recognition can also change as new price data arrives, so the plotted structures should not be assumed to be confirmed trading results.
Key ideas
- The trend cloud infers direction from price relative to a set of simple and exponential moving averages.
- ZigZag swings provide the points used to evaluate a possible ABC pullback.
- The retracement leg must fall within configurable Fibonacci bounds and an error tolerance.
- A moving-average bounce and other swing conditions are required before a directional triangle appears.
- The document describes indicator logic but gives no evidence of profitability or validation.
