Members

In this lesson

Recognise double tops and bottoms, use the neckline as a trigger, and treat patterns as probabilities, not promises.

Key takeaways

A double top shows two failed attempts at the same high; it completes on a break below the neckline.
A double bottom shows two holds at the same low; it completes on a break above the neckline.
The pattern's height gives a rough target estimate.
Patterns fail often enough that a stop and a small size are essential.
