MNQ Harmonic ABCD Completion Short 2R
A public playbook for the MNQ harmonic ABCD completion short that passed the entry-VIX filter.
31 trades / 61.3% win / 2.04 profit factor / +10.99 avg pts.
What This Setup Is
A Fibonacci measured-move short that waits for an ABCD completion zone, then looks for price to reject the pattern completion area.
Why It Fires
ABCD completions can concentrate profit-taking and countertrend interest near a measured target. If VIX pressure is falling and price rejects the completion zone, the short can rotate with a defined invalidation point.
Exact Trigger Checklist
- Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars with the swing points visible before entry.
- Mark the AB leg, BC retracement, and projected CD completion zone.
- Require entry_vix=down.
- Short only after price rejects the completion zone.
- Use the tested 2R model and invalidate above the completion structure.
Good Conditions
- The ABCD legs are clean and visible before the trade.
- The completion zone aligns with a known supply or exhaustion area.
- Entry VIX is down, matching the saved research bucket.
- The rejection candle gives a reasonable stop relative to target.
Avoid Conditions
- The pattern is forced from noisy overlapping swings.
- Price accepts above the completion zone.
- The short triggers after the initial rejection has already traveled.
- The target path runs directly into nearby support.
