Classic Chart Patterns That You Need To KnowHello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :) _________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________ In today’s video, we are going to learn the Classic reversal and continuation chart patterns, How to identify them and when to enter a trade, and how to use stop loss and take profit with these patterns. These patterns can be found in candlestick, bar and line charts. Anyone who is interested in analyzing any market and trading in general should know these so if u don’t know them have no worries after you watch this video you will. NOTE: you should always wait for confirmation when trading with these patterns. Confirmation in all of them is breaking the pattern and the market closing above or below it. Chart Patterns are divided into 2 categories : Reversal Patterns : They indicate a high probability that the existing trend has come to an end and that there is good chance of the trend reversing direction. Continuation Patterns : They indicate a high probability that the existing trend is still active and that there is a good chance of the trend continuing in the same direction. There are 2 types of these patterns : Bearish : it means that the market is going down. Bullish : It means that the market is going up Let's Start with the Bearish Reversal Patterns : 1) Double Top (75.01%) : The double top is one of the most common reversal price patterns. The double top is defined by two nearly equal highs with some space between the touches, The pattern is complete when price breaks below the swing low point created after the first high. The pattern is considered a success when price covers the same distance following the breakout as the distance from the double high to the recent swing low point 2) Triple Top (79.33%) : The triple top is defined by three nearly equal highs with some space between the touches, The pattern is complete when price breaks below the swing low points created between the highs. The pattern is considered a success when price covers the same distance after the breakout as the distance from the triple high to the furthest swing low point 3) Head and Shoulder (83.04%) : The head and shoulders patterns are statistically the most accurate of the price action patterns. The regular head and shoulders pattern is defined by two swing highs (the shoulders) with a higher high (the head) between them. The two outer swing highs/lows don't have to be at the same price, but the closer they are to the same area the stronger the pattern generally becomes. The pattern is complete when price breaks through the "neckline" created by the two swing low points. 4) Rising Wedge (73.03%) : A wedge pattern represents a tightening price movement between the support and resistance lines. the price is hypothesized to break through the support. This means the wedge is a reversal pattern as the breakout is opposite to the general trend. Rising Wedge serves as a reversal if appeared during an uptrend . Now let's Talk about the Bullish Reversal Chart patterns : 1) Double Bottom (78.55%) : The double bottom is one of the most common reversal price patterns. The double bottom is created from two nearly equal lows, The pattern is complete when price breaks above the swing high point created by the first low. The pattern is considered a success when price covers the same distance following the breakout as the distance from the double low to the recent swing high. 2) Triple Bottom (79.33%) : he triple bottom is another variation of reversal price patterns. the triple bottom is created from three nearly equal lows, The pattern is complete when price breaks above the swing high points created between the lows. The pattern is considered a success when price covers the same distance after the breakout as the distance from the triple low to furthest swing high. 3) Inverted Head and Shoulder (83.44%) : The head and shoulders patterns are statistically the most accurate of the price action patterns, The inverted head and shoulders pattern has two swing lows with a lower low between them. The two outer swing lows don't have to be at the same price, but the closer they are to the same area the stronger the pattern generally becomes. The pattern is complete when price breaks through the "neckline" created by the two swing high points . 4) Falling Wedge (72.88%) : A wedge pattern represents a tightening price movement between the support and resistance lines. the price is hypothesized to break through the support. This means the wedge is a reversal pattern as the breakout is opposite to the general trend. Failing Wedge serves as a reversal if appeared during a downtrend Let's move on now and start talking about Bearish Continuation patterns : 1) Rising Wedge (73.03%) : The Rising Wedge in the downtrend indicates a continuation of the previous trend. It is formed when the prices are making Higher Highs and Higher Lows compared to the previous price movements. 2) Bearish Flag (67.72%) : The flag is a continuation pattern that can occur after a strong trending move. It consists of a strong bearish trending move followed by a rapid series of higher lows and higher highs, These patterns are small hesitations in strong trends. The flag pattern appears as a small rectangle that is usually tilted against the prevailing trend in price. The best flag patterns have two features: 1) a very strong run in price (near vertical) prior to the setting up of the flag and 2) a tight flag that occurs right on the upper (or lower) edge of that run. This pattern is considered successful when it breaks the lower trendline and then proceeds to cover the same distance as the prior trending move starting from the outer edge of the pattern. 3) Bearish Pennant (55.19%) : The pennant often occurs in high momentum markets after a strong trending move, but the tight price formation that occurs can lead to breakouts against the preceding trend almost as often as we get continuation. The slight difference in the price pattern formation between flags and pennants is an important distinction that can make a big difference in your trading results so it's well worth being aware of while watching the market develop during your trading day. 4) Descending Triangle (72.93%) : The triangle pattern usually occurs in trends and acts as a continuation pattern. It's defined by a bearish trending move followed by two or more equal lows with a series of lower highs. The pattern is complete when price breaks below the horizontal support area and the pattern is considered successful if price extends beyond the breakout point for at least the same distance as the pattern width And finally we have the Bullish Continuation patterns : 1) Falling Wedge (72.88%) : The Falling Wedge in the downtrend indicates a continuation of the previous trend. It is formed when the prices are making lower Highs and lower Lows compared to the previous price movements. 2) Bullish Flag (67.13%) : The flag is a continuation pattern that can occur after a strong trending move. It consists of a strong bullish trending move followed by a rapid series of lower highs and lower lows, These patterns are small hesitations in strong trends. The flag pattern appears as a small rectangle that is usually tilted against the prevailing trend in price. The best flag patterns have two features: 1) a very strong run in price (near vertical) prior to the setting up of the flag and 2) a tight flag that occurs right on the upper (or lower) edge of that run. This pattern is considered successful when it breaks the upper trendline and then proceeds to cover the same distance as the prior trending move starting from the outer edge of the pattern. 3) Bullish Pennant (54.87%) : The pennant often occurs in high momentum markets after a strong trending move, but the tight price formation that occurs can lead to breakouts against the preceding trend almost as often as we get continuation. The slight difference in the price pattern formation between flags and pennants is an important distinction that can make a big difference in your trading results so it's well worth being aware of while watching the market develop during your trading day. 4) Ascending Triangle (72.77%) : The triangle pattern usually occurs in trends and acts as a continuation pattern. It's defined by a bullish trending move followed by two or more equal highs and a series of higher lows The pattern is complete when price breaks above the horizontal support area and the pattern is considered successful if price extends beyond the breakout point for at least the same distance as the pattern width 5 Rules To Always Follow I hope that I was able to help you understand Classic Continuation and Reversal Patterns better and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Improving Consistency In TradingThis is always one of the biggest challenges to becoming a full time profitable trader. Almost all traders will have a battle against becoming consistent. Its something that I definitely struggled with when starting out in my trading journey. 
I would go through weeks of profitable trades and building my account and then equally go through losing streaks and essentially wiping out my wins. Or simply from one week to the next my trading results would fluctuate like crazy… This will inevitably have a detrimental effect on your trading results but more importantly it will have a major negative effect on your mentality and well being as you become more and more frustrated with inconsistent trading results. So today I wanted to sit down and go through this in topic to explain some ways to combat this problem and improve your consistency. Expectations Firstly its important to define the goal… what does consistent trading look like FOR YOU? Because believe it or not, the answer to that question is different for different people. 

So, are you looking to be consistent over the course of each day? Over the course of each week?… Define a time period that is realistic for you to determine your consistency and make sure it has enough time to measure enough trades to account for wins and losses. Are you looking to be consistent in terms of profit over this period of time? Or are you looking to be consistent in terms of percentage of trades won and loss? Secondly its important to know that you WONT win every trade.. so any goal that sets out to do so won’t be realistic and won’t be achievable. 

Winning 80% of your trades is a VERY consistent win rate percentage. 
 No Silver Bullet The honest truth is that there’s no secret formula or special sauce that will turn an inconsistent trader into a consistently profitable one overnight.

As with everything it will take gradual steps of improvement but I can share with you some methods and insights to help speed that process up. 
 Consistent Results Come From Consistent Processes
 The main reason behind inconsistent results is that traders are using an inconsistent process for each trade they place. 

If one trade is placed based on one strategy and then you are not using that same strategy on the next trade then you can expect any trading results will reflect that. 

Its important to understand your strategy in trading intimately… you should have the confidence in your strategy that if you were to lose a trade, you are confident that over time your strategy will work out. 

Typically this scattergun approach where traders jump from one strategy to the next is the main cause of why their results are inconsistent. 
 Review Your Strategy Finally you must of course have a very robust strategy to use in the first place… if the strategy you are using isn’t robust and doesn’t provide an ‘edge’ on the market… if you haven’t done the research and backtesting necessary to know your edge on the market then you can be sure that any result from using that strategy will be inconsistent.

Candlestick Charts Part 3: ContinuationHello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :) _________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________ NOTE: some pattern could be reversal and continuation patterns depending if its in an uptrend or downtrend. Today's video will be about the Candlestick Chart : Continuation Patterns. Continuation Patterns are candlestick patterns that tend to resolve in the same direction as the prevailing trend. So lets start by talking about the different types of Patterns : Bullish Continuation Patterns Bearish Continuation Patterns And they are divided into 3 groups : Weak Patterns Reliable Patterns Strong Patterns We Start with the Strong Continuation Patterns : 1) Rising Three Methods : is a five candlestick bullish continuation pattern. The first candlestick is a large bullish candlestick that takes place during an uptrend. Then a group of two to four small body candlesticks (either bullish or bearish) retreat within the price range established by the first day’s real body bullish candlestick. The final candlestick of the pattern is another large bullish candlestick that closes above the first day’s closing price. 2) Falling Three Methods : is a five candlestick bearish continuation pattern. The first candlestick is a large bearish candlestick that takes place during a downtrend. Then a group of two to four small body candlesticks (either bullish or bearish) slowly ascend within the price range established by the first day’s real body bearish candlestick. The final candlestick of the pattern is another large bearish candlestick that closes below the first day’s closing price. 3) Deliberation in an uptrend : A deliberation structure is comprised of three Japanese candlesticks. All three are bullish (green). The first is a candlestick with a small body followed by a large full candlestick. Finally, the last candlestick also has a small body and forms a star. 4) Concealing Baby Swallow in an uptrend : The Concealing Baby Swallow is a four-line candlestick pattern, which appears so rarely. Two Black Marubozu candles appearing one after the other are very uncommon situation on the candlestick charts what limits the appearance of this pattern. Now Lets Talk about the Reliable Continuation Patterns : 1) Bullish Separating Lines : Bullish separating lines pattern is a two-candle bullish continuation candlestick pattern that comes up in the middle of a bullish trend. It indicates that the current bullish trend is about to continue after a temporary pullback. 2) Bearish Separating Lines : The bearish separating line is known as a bearish continuation pattern. The first line is a white candle that comes up as a long line in a downtrend. The second line is made up of a black candle that comes up as a long line. Both bars will open at the same price, and then the prices are separating. 3) Bullish Matching High : This pattern involves two or more matching highs. On a lower timeframe chart this pattern will look like a support or resistance being broken. Breakouts are used by traders a trigger to enter the market with the momentum of the breakout signaling a new leg of a trend. 4) Bearish Matching Low : This pattern involves two or more matching lows which if broken is a signal that there will be a resumption of the current trend. 5) Upside Tasuki Gap : It is a bullish continuation candlestick pattern which is formed in an ongoing uptrend. This candlestick pattern consists of three candles, the first candlestick is a long-bodied bullish candlestick, and the second candlestick is also a bullish candlestick formed after a gap up. The third candlestick is a bearish candle that closes in the gap formed between these first two bullish candles. 6) Downside Tasuki Gap : Downside Tasuki Gap is a bearish continuation pattern that forms in the middle of a downtrend. The first candle is bearish, and is followed by a negative gap and another bearish candle. The third candle is bullish and closes right in the gap between the first two bars. And Last but not least The Weak Continuation Patterns : 1) Advance Block : The advance block is a three bar pattern. The pattern appears as a block of three white, rising candlesticks, each with a shorter body than the last. The candles should not have overly long shadows as these can sometimes develop into other pattern types such shooting stars and hanging men. 2) Stick Sandwich : The stick sandwich candlestick pattern can occur in both bull and bear markets. The stick sandwich candlestick pattern consists of three candlesticks, where one candlestick has an opposite colored candlestick on both sides. The closing prices of the two candlesticks that surround the opposite colored candlestick must be same. 3) Bullish Side by Side White Lines : – It occurs during an Uptrend; confirmation is required by the candles that follow the Pattern. – The First Candle is white. – Then there is a Gap Up between the First and Second Candle. – The Second and Third Candle are white, their Real Bodies have the same length; moreover they have the Open at the same level (More or less) and is above the Real Body of the First Candle. 4) Bearish Side by Side White Lines : – It occurs during a Downtrend; confirmation is required by the candles that follow the Pattern. – The First Candle is black. – Then there is a Gap Down between the First and Second Candle. – The Second and Third Candle are white, their Real Bodies have the same length; moreover they have the Open at the same level (More or less) and is below the Real Body of the First Candle. 5) Bullish On Neck Line: The on neck candlestick is a continuation pattern. In an on neck pattern, the first candle is Bullish and the second one is Bearish. The first candle’s body is long while the second one is shorter. The second candle closes near the first one or close to the first candle. The pattern gets its name because at the point where the closing prices of the two are nearly the same or same, it forms a horizontal line which looks like a neck or a neckline. 6) Bearish On Neck line : The on neck candlestick is a continuation pattern. In an on neck pattern, the first candle is bearish and the second one is bullish. The first candle’s body is long while the second one is shorter. The second candle closes near the first one or close to the first candle. The pattern gets its name because at the point where the closing prices of the two are nearly the same or same, it forms a horizontal line which looks like a neck or a neckline.

Stocks To WatchThe Market's longer term uptrend still intact. Breadth is deteriorating again. These names have shown good relative strength and accumulation volume and most are in the growth sector. This may give good risk/reward entries on some of the best names. Some of these charts still need to confirm their price action. This video is my watchlist. Most of these names are at or near all time highs or multi year highs. There are 26 total stocks on this list Many of these have IPO'd in the last few years and still have a growth story ahead of them. Know your time frame and risk tolerance. Know your earnings dates! I go through these quickly so grab a pencil and paper and jot down the names that look interesting to you and then make the trade your own. Good Luck!

How To: Find Good Traders To Follow & Who Picked the BTC Crash !Just thought I would show you an interesting way to see who is making the right calls before a stock or (crypto)currency makes a significant bullish or bearish move. With so many people posting on TradingView it can sometimes be hard to know who to follow. This is a way to see very simply who is making more accurate calls and best of all it IS NOT influenced by their number of posts or followers or reputation points etc. It is a great way to discover new users brand new to the site - or more established ones who have been on here for years. You can have one post or 100 and still stand out. If you find the same person consistently making the "right" calls and you like their analysis and how they trade then you can very easily follow them. (PS not really a crash, more of some profit taking and a pullback to support. Be interesting to see what happens over the next few days though.)

SOYBN/USD and NZD/CHF on watch for me today.SOYBN/USD: • If price pushes up above our upper rayline, it does so impulsively a subsequent tight one hour flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with either a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag or a risk entry within it. • If my entry requirements are not met then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place a trade on this pair. NZD/CHF: • If price impulses down below our rayline, it does so in a convincing manner and a subsequent tight one hour flag forms, then I'll be looking to get short with either a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag or a risk entry within it. • If my entry requirements are not met then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place a trade on this pair.

Tutorial | How To Identify Potentially Strong Trend DaysI got smoked shorting the MNQ today. And it was avoidable. The MNQ1! and the MES1! were flashing warning signs since the Sunday open to NOT fade the move. I stayed off the sell side for the opening 30 minute candle, but then got sucked in at a level. The entry was a violation of one of the Golden Rules of Range Trading - STAY AWAY from Outside Days! In this video, I discuss how to identify Outside Days and look for Untested Prior Session POCs as signs that conditions are pointing to trending price action.
