How to Trade the Diamond Pattern on eToro

One of the most uncommon or unpopular patterns used in trading is the Diamond Pattern. One reason behind why people refrain from using this pattern in a chart is due to the fact that it thrives on volatile markets and it is used as a sign of reversal. Most traders are usually just interested in bullish or bearish markets because these markets have higher profitability potentials. However, what many traders do not know is that reversal patterns such as the diamond pattern can offer pretty much substantial profits much more than bullish or bearish markets can – all one needs to do is to read it right.

What is a Diamond Pattern?

As mentioned earlier, a diamond pattern is a trend reversal pattern, which means, it signals a price rise right after a price fall and vice versa. It is made up of a series of trend lines which are created by connecting the higher highs and lower lows at the end of a trend. Each trend line is drawn by connecting no less than two highs or 2 lows. It should have four lines to complete the diamond structure – where the name was taken.

Diamond pattern formations are imminent in volatile markets whether in bullish or bearish markets. Also, this pattern can show up at any range which means it can be used on a weekly or monthly range chart or during intraday trading. When a diamond pattern forms at the top of a trend or at a bullish market, it is called a diamond top pattern – which signals a reversal for a bearish market. On the other hand, a diamond pattern that is found at a bearish market or downtrend is called a diamond bottom pattern – this signals a trend reversal for a bullish market.

The Diamond Top Pattern

Whenever dealing with bullish markets, it becomes more difficult to make decisions as you reach the end of the trend. Decisions are especially difficult when a short sideways movement of the price starts to develop during the bullish trend. This is for the reason that while a short sideways can be followed up by trend continuation, it can also be followed by a reversal. When it comes to reversals, a trader should always be quick to assign exit or entry points to avoid catastrophic losses. For the diamond top pattern, it would give a signal to exit positions or sell.

As an example of a diamond top pattern, we’ll be using the stock CORN from eToro.

Diamond on Bearish Reversal

 

We can see from this example that it started with a bullish market with steep price movements showing a volatile market. The diamond formation is drawn by connecting the higher highs and lower lows as mentioned earlier. One thing that we need to remember when drawing diamond patterns is that the trend lines or sides don’t have to be symmetrical or of the same angle or length. A rough cut diamond is still considered a diamond for this case.

From this illustration, the price reversed or bounced as soon as it touched the sides of the diamond. And breakout happened as soon as the right side of the diamond is breached. After it breached the trend line, it tried to go back up but failed and eventually continued to a steep downtrend.

In this case, exiting positions from the breakout point is the best decision in evading a considerable loss from a steep downtrend.

The Diamond Bottom Pattern

Diamond on Bullish reversal

 

While there is a top formation, there is also a bottom formation for the Diamond pattern. The diamond bottom pattern develops at the end of a bearish trend and it signals a trend reversal for a bullish market. In application, this kind of pattern is where traders should be building up their positions in order to ride the price increase of a market.

For the example of the diamond bottom pattern, we’ll be looking at the chart of 888 Holdings for the pattern.

As mentioned earlier, the formation of the diamond pattern can occur at any range. For this particular example, we can see that it occurred in a huge range which covered almost 5 months to complete the formation. Just like the diamond top pattern, trend lines are formed by connecting the higher highs and lower lows at the end of the trend.

The trend started at a bearish market and reversed to a bullish market. One thing to note when it comes to breakouts is that it is usually confirmed by a strong series of candles penetrating the trend line – just as what is shown from both examples.

Additional Notes

When trading with the diamond pattern, one might confuse it with the head and shoulders pattern because it is made up of a series of price reversals that can make up ahead and shoulders. however, they are different when it comes to breakout points. The head and shoulders pattern relies on a neckline which dictates the breakout point, while the diamond relies on a trend line at the right side for the breakout point. If interpreted wrongly, a trader can make early exits or entries which can cause expensive losses.

Notice that the diamond formation only involves a series of diagonal trend lines. By knowing when a market is about to build a diamond formation, a trader is already able to make short and safe profits from every bounce within the diamond. It is a basic rule that the price stays within the diamond and with that, a trader should be able to buy or sell every time the price touches a side of the diamond. Ultimately, the highest profit potential would be when the trend line or side of the diamond is breached for the breakout.

Our final thoughts

Chart patterns are among the most proven ways on how to assess a given market. It allows a trader to make safe and profitable decisions while riding the market. While the diamond pattern can be hard to find in a chart, it is something that can be used independently and it delivers promising results depending on how you assess the market.
