The Bat pattern is a retracement and continuation pattern that occurs when a trend temporarily reverses its direction but then continues on its original course. It gives you the opportunity to enter the market at a good price, just as the pattern ends and the trend resumes and has a bullish and bearish version. It is similar to the Gartley pattern but completes at an 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the X-A leg. A true Bat pattern will include each of the following: the AB=CD pattern or an extension of this pattern; a 161.8% to 261.8% Fibonacci extension of the B-C leg; an 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the X-A leg. One way of trading a bullish Bat pattern is to place your buy order at point D (the 88.6% retracement of the X-A leg) Place your stop loss just below point X. Draw a new Fibonacci retracement from point A-D of the completed pattern and take profit at the point where the price will have retraced 61.8% of the distance between A-D. To trade a bearish Bat pattern (a short/sell trade), simply invert the pattern and your orders.
