The Bat pattern is a precision harmonic formation with a 0.886 XA retracement at point D. One of the deepest harmonic entries. The tight stop beyond D creates excellent risk:reward when the pattern completes.

💡 Pro Tip
The 0.886 D-point is what distinguishes the Bat from the Gartley (0.786). This deeper retracement makes the Bat's stop very tight (just beyond X), which is why it offers superior R:R. If D overshoots 0.886 significantly, the pattern is invalidated.
