Chart Patterns Masterclass

Reversal and continuation patterns explained: head and shoulders, double tops, triangles, flags, wedges, cup and handle, and how to trade them with confirmation.

Lessons

1. What Are Chart Patterns?: Why price forms repeating shapes and how to use them without overtrading.
2. Head and Shoulders: The best-known reversal pattern: three peaks with the middle one highest.
3. Inverse Head and Shoulders: The bullish mirror image: three troughs with the middle one lowest.
4. Double Top and Double Bottom: Two failed attempts at a level, forming the M and W shapes.
5. Triple Top and Triple Bottom: Three tests of the same level show strong supply or demand.
6. Ascending Triangle: A flat resistance with rising lows: buyers pressing against a ceiling.
7. Descending Triangle: A flat support with falling highs: sellers pressing on a floor.
8. Symmetrical Triangle: Converging trendlines show a market coiling for a decision.
9. Rising and Falling Wedges: Converging lines that slope in the same direction often precede reversals.
10. Flags and Pennants: Short pauses after sharp moves, then continuation.
11. Cup and Handle: A rounded base followed by a small pullback before a breakout.
12. Rectangles and Trading Ranges: Horizontal consolidation between support and resistance.
13. Broadening Formations and Megaphones: Expanding highs and lows show rising volatility and indecision.
14. Diamonds, Rounding Tops and Bottoms: Less common patterns that show gradual shifts in control.
15. Measured Moves and Price Targets: How to project targets from the pattern height.
16. False Breakouts and How to Avoid Them: Why many breakouts fail and how to filter them.
17. Volume Confirmation for Patterns: How volume supports or weakens a pattern.
18. Patterns Across Timeframes: Why a pattern on a higher timeframe matters more.
19. A Complete Pattern Trading Plan: Turn patterns into a repeatable routine with risk control.
