At one of his posts Kaymar attached a schedule for the harmonic ratios ,
I toke a deep glance at the schedule lately & as a beginner at trading using that style I wasn't amazed that I use a lot of those ratios without having a deep understanding for what they mean ,
I hope that somepro here can save some of his time & give us the beginners some explanation for those ratios

Fibonacci retracement is fundamentally based on a single number, which is Golden Ratio 1.618 or 0.618. <---
(1/1.618 = 0.618 .just from different side of perspective)
This single magic mysterious number does all the trick and covers the entire Fibonacci numbers or Levels.
which means that the middle point of
0.382 and 0.618
0.236 and 0.764
0.146 and 0.854
is 0.5, and obviously it is also the middle point of 0 and 1.
These numbers cover fair range between 0 to 1.0.
It's as simple as that, just +or -. based on 0,618=Golden Ratio
in some Harmonic Trading book, they mention 0.786 or 0.886 using Root calculation etc.
I think these are rather Artificial manipulation of Golden Ratio, and I have no idea why they insist such numbers instead of employing the simple Fibonacci sequence.
You see 0.786 is close to 0.764 and 0.886 is close to 0.854.
This difference doesn't mean much, so why don't you use simpler ones?
The real simplicity from the Golden ratio appears on the sequence list I shown first.
So, I totally ignored these artificial numbers according to their book or site, and instead, employ simple Fib numbers.
Actually, For Gartley Pattern.(in the chart above)
If
XAB =0.618
ABC =0.618
BCD = 1.618,
XAD = 0.854 (= 0.236 + 0.618) !!
not 0.886.
Harmonic patterns behave like this, if you set up a couple of Fib ratio for each reteracement, Automatically, another Fib retracement ratio show up. That is why this pattern is called as Harmonic.
You can do math or using MT4 Fib line tool.
Again, as long as you stick to pure Fib numbers, since Golden Ratio would repeat itself, whatever you manipulates among Fib numbers, the result is Always on Fib numbers.
That is the beauty.
However, once you include the other biased fib numbers such as 0.886, it will be broken
