Chart Patterns

Chart Patterns Trading

Reversal and continuation formations, measured and documented

Chart Patterns Trading catalogues the formations traders reference most often — double tops and bottoms, head and shoulders, flags, triangles, wedges and cup and handle — and treats each as a structural description rather than a prediction.

Every chapter follows the same template: what forms the shape, the measurement convention, where invalidation sits, what confirmation traders look for, and the failure mode to record.

What readers will learn

  • How to draw each classic pattern consistently
  • Conventional measured-move targets and their limits
  • Where a pattern is objectively invalidated
  • How volume and higher-timeframe context change the reading
  • How to log pattern outcomes so review is possible
