Chart Patterns Made Simple

Every trader has seen a double top, a bull flag, or a head and shoulders pattern on a chart. Far fewer know what to do when one appears. Chart Patterns Made Simple teaches the classic price patterns from the ground up: what each one looks like, why the crowd keeps forming it, how to draw its boundary, and how to turn the shape into a plan with an entry, a stop, and a measured target. Written in plain language for beginners who can read a price chart but have never traded a pattern with rules, the book uses 89 clean, annotated charts so you can learn each shape before you go looking for it on real markets. Inside the book

• Fourteen classic patterns, each with a one-glance Pattern Card: head and shoulders, double and triple tops and bottoms, rounding patterns, cup and handle, wedges, flags, pennants, the three triangles, and rectangles
• Each pattern shown up close and inside a larger trend, plus a failed example for every pattern family, so you know what wrong looks like
• A five-step routine for reading any pattern, and a measuring rule for every target
• Breakouts, retests, and fakeouts, and where the stop belongs on each pattern
• How to read volume inside a pattern and on the breakout
• Five fully worked trades with position sizing on a $10,000 practice account, including a losing trade handled correctly
• Twelve practice charts with annotated answers, a pattern cheat sheet, a glossary, a pre-trade checklist, and a position size table
