Bullish ALT bat harmonic chart pattern confirms a buy entry upon the completion of the pattern. It is an XABCD chart pattern. This post is aimed to explain the way to draw a Bullish ALT harmonic chart pattern and the way to apply the pattern in forex trading.

How to draw a Bullish ALT Bat harmonic chart pattern ?

To draw a bullish ALT bat harmonic chart pattern, first of all we have to find the X and A points at the bottom and top of a bullish trend respectively. In the second step, a Fibonacci retracement tool is drawn starting from the point X and ending at the point A. This tool is drawn to confirm the point B of the bullish ALT bat harmonic chart pattern. 

The point B should be at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. In other words, AB/XA should be equal to 0.382 Fibonacci ratio. In the image below the second step is illustrated, where you can see the point B is not hundred percent accurately confirmed but still can be accepted.

In the third step, the point C of the bullish ALT bat harmonic pattern is to be confirmed. A Fibonacci retracement tool is drawn starting from  point A and ending at the point C. The point C should be at the 38.2-88.6% Fibonacci retracement level. In other words, BC/AB should be equal to 0.382-0.886 Fibonacci ratio. The third step is illustrated in the image below. 

In the fourth step, a Fibonacci retracement tool is drawn starting from point B and ending at point C to confirm the point D of the bullish ALT bat harmonic chart pattern. Here in this case the point D should be at the 200-361.8% Fibonacci retracement level. In other words the ratio CD/BC should be between 2.00-3.618. In the image below, the fourth step is illustrated.

In fifth step, the point D of the bullish ALT chart pattern is reconfirmed. To do it, a Fibonacci retracement tool is drawn starting from point X and ending at point A. The retracement at point D should be 113%. In other words, the ratio AD/XA should be equal to 1.13. The fifth step is illustrated in the image below.

In the final step, the XA, AB, BC, CD, BD, XB straight lines are drawn to find the pattern. Actually, in price chart traders just need to confirm the points, no pattern are required to be drawn geometrically as shown in the image below.
