Chart Patterns

Recognize every classical chart pattern — and trade it. Reversals, continuations, the neckline break, the measured-move target, and the failures that trap everyone else.

A pattern is the crowd's footprint. It becomes a signal only when a candle body closes through its line.
A double top or bottom completes on the first close through its neckline. Stop past the second peak; target one height beyond.
A head and shoulders completes on the first close through its neckline. Stop past the right shoulder; target the head's height beyond.
A level that held three times is real. Trade the close through the neckline, not the next bounce; a close past the tops kills it.
A cup and handle completes on the first close past its lip, if the handle stayed shallow. Stop past the handle; target one depth beyond.
A triangle's flat side usually breaks, but only a close decides. Stop past the last swing inside it; target its widest height beyond.
A symmetrical triangle has no flat side, so it picks no side. Trade the first close through a rail; stop past the last swing inside.
A flag breaks the way its pole ran. Trade the first close through the rail; stop past the last swing inside; target one pole beyond.
A wedge usually breaks against its slope. Trade the first close through a rail; stop past the last swing inside; target its widest height.
Fade a rectangle's rails inside it; trade the first close through one. Stop past the last swing inside; target the box's height.
A pattern is a guess until a body closes through its line. One that closes past its far side failed: trade it the other way.
