This pattern has a high reward-to-risk ratio because you can put a very tight stop loss. The “perfect” crab pattern must have the following aspects: 1.Move AB should be the .382 or .618 retracement of move XA. 2.Move BC can be either .382 or .886 retracement of move AB. 3.If the retracement of move BC is .382 of move AB, then CD should be 2.24 of move BC. Consquently, if move BC is .886 of move AB, then CD should be 3.618 extension of move BC. 4.CD should be 1.618 extension of move XA.
