Tolerance Parameters

Harmonic Patterns are not always 100% exactly. For a Harmonic Pattern to be valid,
usually three or more Fibonacci numbers need to be reached as exactly as possible in form
of retracements and extensions. To allow some flexibility for price without invalidating a
pattern, the mkHarmonics indicator uses different Tolerance Parameters. They are all
percent values in a range of 0% to 100%.

Lets say we need a 50% retracement of the XA leg in a pattern and we set the Retracement
Tolerance to 2%. Using those 2%, we now have defined an area in which price has to create
a swing for the pattern to be valid. Instead of only allowing an exact 50% retracement of the
XA leg, now a retracement between 49% and 51% (2% of 50% = 1%) will be valid.

% Retracement Tolerance

Tolerance Value used for Retracements.

% Extension Tolerance

Tolerance Value used for Extensions.

% Max PRZ Tolerance

Tolerance Value used for maximum Retracements and Extension in the PRZ.

% Time Tolerance

This Parameter is only used for the AB=CD Pattern and defines the maximum flexibility
in time symmetry (bars) between the AB and the CD leg.

Color used for bullish pattern triangles, target price levels and labels.

Bullish Outline Color

Color used to outline bullish pattern triangles.

Bearish Pattern Color

Color used for bearish pattern triangles, target price levels and labels.
