Three Drives Pattern — what it is and how to use it in trading
Definition
The Three Drives pattern is three consecutive same-direction moves ("drives"), each followed by a symmetric Fibonacci corrective bounce.
How it works in the builder
three_drive_bullish/three_drive_bearish use left/right/tolerance parameters — the figure confirms on the bar completing the third drive, once all three legs and the two corrections between them match Fibonacci ratios within tolerance.
What it looks like on the chart
On the chart the figure looks like three consecutive "teeth" of the same direction with two symmetric pullbacks between them — for example, three downward drives with two upward bounces for the bullish variant.
Typical use
The low of the third drive (bullish variant) is used as an entry zone, expecting a reversal once the move is exhausted — similar to point D in the five-point harmonics, but here there are six reference points instead.
Common pitfalls
The figure requires three consecutive symmetric moves — in practice this happens less often than the classic five-point harmonics, and the signal only fires after the third drive fully completes, which is fairly late relative to the start of the whole move.
