How to read signals from the Navarro 200 Harmonic Pattern Indicator

The Navarro 200 Harmonic Pattern Indicator highlights horizontal zones where price has reacted in the past. Also, still, hence, a typical workflow looks like this.
Entry idea (long). Wait for price to test a marked level from above, hold, and print a rejection candle. Next, wait for the bar to close. Intra-bar values can shift.
Entry idea (short). Wait for price to test a marked resistance from below, hold, and print a rejection candle. The same close rule applies.
Exit idea. Some traders take partial profit at one R and trail the rest with structure. Some traders trail with structure. Others trail with the indicator itself.
These are concepts, not rules. Then, backtest on your instrument and timeframe before live capital.
Tuning the Navarro 200 Harmonic Pattern Indicator inputs
Start with the defaults, then tune for your market. LookbackBars (default 200) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower signals or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones; SwingDepth (default 4) tunes how the calculation behaves; SwingDevPoints (default 0) scales sensitivity — higher values widen the distance and produce fewer signals. Thus, yet, every alert channel — pop-up, sound, email and mobile push — toggles independently in the same inputs panel, and alerts fire once per closed bar.
Recommended timeframes and instruments
Navarro 200 Harmonic Pattern Indicator needs room for structure to form, so favour the higher timeframes.
- H1 and H4 for reliable, tradable structures.
- Daily for the cleanest patterns and levels.
Below H1 you get frequent, lower-quality structures. Also, still, hence, truly, it works best on the majors and XAUUSD where swings are well defined.
