Trade What You See: How To Profit from Pattern Recognition

Trade What You See is Larry Pesavento’s masterclass in practical pattern recognition—where geometry, ratios, and disciplined execution converge into a repeatable trading method. Co-authored with Leslie Jouflas, this book transforms abstract technical concepts into a clear, structured framework for identifying and trading high-probability market setups.

At its core, Pesavento’s methodology is built on harmonic price patterns—retracements, extensions, and symmetrical swings that reveal the market’s internal rhythm. The authors teach traders how to detect these repeating formations in real-time and trade them objectively, without emotion or prediction. Through dozens of annotated charts and case studies across different markets, Trade What You See shows how Fibonacci ratios, AB=CD structures, and geometric symmetry can signal precise turning points. Each setup is backed by step-by-step trade logic, entry criteria, stop placement, and exit strategy.

This book bridges art and science—teaching traders to “see” what professionals see when price forms order out of chaos. For those ready to trade the markets with structure and confidence, it remains one of the most timeless guides in modern pattern-based trading.

• How to recognize, confirm, and trade harmonic price patterns in any market
