Chart Patterns, and What Breaks Them
The dozen shapes every chart book draws, each by its rules — and then the honest part: how often the break is the real one.
- Who it is for
- A reader who can see the trend and wants to name what the chart is doing inside it.
- Before you start
- Levels, Trend and Retracement.

- Say where a pattern's break is, and where it is not
- Tell a real break from a fake one before you act on it
- Say what a pattern does not tell you
