1. Chart Pattern Mastery Course Introduction: Hi there. My name is Randy lasagna. I've been treating the financial markets for the past five years now. And I'm going to be instructor for this course. I'd like to welcome you to the chart petal mastery course. And in this course, we are going to go through different chart patterns. Then one can actually make use of to execute long or short positions. Now, there's different strategies under the sun that one can actually make use of. But if there's one thing I've learned throughout my, my, my, my trading journey is that you don't have to use everything. But something else that I've also learned is that what works for me may not necessarily works for you. Hands out lag to give you some chart, different chart patterns. Then you make use of them, then you practice them. Didn't you see which one you love the most? Which one resonates with you the most. In this course, we're going to cover chart patterns such as your double tops, which is an M formation, your double bottom which is a W formation. Where do you enter where the exit we're going to go through Head and Shoulders, inverse head and shoulders, etc. So I really hope that you're going to enjoy this course and see you on the very first lesson. Cheese. 2. Double Top Pattern: Welcome to this lesson. My name is Lonnie lasagna. In this lesson we are going to go through what a double top pattern is and how does one create a double top? Double top consists of two types. As you can see, this is one top. So this will be our first top. First top. And this would be our second top, which makes it a double top. Now we've got two tabs. This is our second top. And this would be our neck line can images. This, this would be our net climb. You determine our neck line through this bottom here. This slope here. This would be our neck line. I'll just write it down for you here. This would be around neck line. And obviously how you treat this, Is that, okay? First and foremost, double-talk. A double top pattern equals short positions. So it double top tin short positions. So when trading the double top pattern, we're looking for short position. So let me make this red for you. So we take the only take our short position at the break of our neck line. So once we have our first top, can obviously the market for bounds here at the snare clay, which is our support in the market. We'll create our second top. Then we wait for the second top to finish. Once it's finished, we will wait for a break out at our neck line. In this case, here was the breakout at our neck line. So once we, the market breaks the neck line, we enter our short position. And our TP will determine how TB by measuring one of our the length of our tops. Then we measure it. Then you take it down from on Nightline to the dull side. And this is where our TP will be. Yeah. Let me just make this blue so you can see it for t p. And you will probably estoppel probably somewhere here, stop or be somewhere here. And obviously your entry will be at the break out after the break out, the neckline. Okay. So as the market breaks the neck line, you enter a short position, then U T P here. So that's how you treat a double top pattern. So the aggressive way is to wait for the market to break the neck line. The more conservative way is to wait for the market to break the net line. Wait for a retest back to the net line. Now the neckline will act as our resistance. And once the market tests the neck line, then it'll confirm that we should take a short position. So that's a more conservative way in how to treat this. Otherwise, both results are essentially wait for a break out that our neck line. If you want to take an aggressive approach, sell the product of the neck. If you wanted to take a more conservative approach, wave for the market to break down and retest the neck line, then enter your short position. Look at now the instrument. This is our first top. This is our first top. You just make this black for you is office top. And this is our second topic. It's really an M formation. It's an M formation. This is our second top. This is our neck line. So what we will do is to wait for the market to break our neck line in order for us to take our short positions. This will be our neck line. And we determine our neck line with this lower right here. And the mock-up test is slow. And what we will do is to wait for the market to actually break the net line so that we can enter our short positions. And to measure our TP, we measure it through this space of either the tops, then replace it from the neck line to the downside. And this is where our T p will be. This is our TP. This is our TP level. And obviously this is our entry point to the break of the neckline. And this is our top level. So this is our stop. Let me just make this red for you. This is a stop. And this is our entry point. I'm trying to make this another color, gray. Okay? So this is our entry point. This is a stock level and this is our t p. So we wait for the market to actually break on a play with a, with the aggressive approach, we take a short position, read the break, the breakout of our neck lab. With a more conservative approach. We will fill them up and to break down, then retest, then we take our short position. This is also another inflammation. Remember your two tops doesn't have to be on the same level. It's still valid even if they're not in the same level. So this, for instance, is our first top. This is our first talk. This is our second top. As you can see, these are not in the exact level, but it's still valid to make it double top pattern. This is our second top. And obviously as you probably can tell right now that this is our neck, because we see it through this low. This is our nebulae. Going to make this red for you. This is our neck line. And what we want here is we want a break out around neckline. Spheres, determine our TB. We're going to measure it through the inside of this tubs. This will be RTP level right here. So this would be our T B level. Never going to make this blue navy. So TP level. And this would be our stock level. This would be all stopped level. I'm going to make this red. And our entry would be at the break of the neckline. And obviously this would be our entry. I'm going to make this gray. So we've got our entry housetop level and our T P level. So at the break, as you can see right here at the market, didn't just break the neckline and move to the downside, but instead it both a net land and it went back to retest, as you can tell here, it went down. Then. I went back to retest the neck line. Just make this green. To retest the neck line, then there will be no confirmation for us to take a short position to the dump site. Okay. Short position to the down side. So that's really how you treat a double top. So this is our first top. Another instrument is our first top. Okay. Let me just make this black. And this is our second top. As you can see that the second observed but lower than the first top, still valid. Still valid. Second top. And this is our, this is our new client and we see on a client through the slope at the break of the neckline, which the break is we n tau short position. If you're taking a aggressive approach first determine our TP by measuring the inside of either of our tops, one of our jobs. And you put it here. And obviously this will be our TB level and this would be our stock level. And this would be our entry, right? The break of the neck. Okay. So as you can see that the market did just dead broke down here and it went straight down. And I'll TB level would have been hit right here. So this is our TP level, this is our stock level, and this is our entry point. So this is a double top four nation or double-talk pad to determine whilst the market is still playing out. This use a possible double top as well as we can see here that this is our first top. But this has not yet paid out fully. But I just wanted to show how do you approach this in a live market. This is our first top and this is our second top. Second talk. We will then this is obviously our neck line. This is our neck line. So what, how we would approach this? We would wait for a break at this net line. If you aggressive, you will sell at this point. And to measure our TB level, we first measure the inside of one of our tubs and drag it down to two from your neck line to the downside. This would be our TB level. Yeah. This will be our TP level, VP level. This would be our entry just at the break of our neck line. This would be our entry point into the point. Somewhere here. We'll have all the top level bob level. So we have our input point here. Somewhere here we have our stock level. This is a TP level. Okay? So if you take an aggressive approach, it's just that the break of the neckline, that's where you enter. If you want a more conservative approach, you'll wait for a retest to the next line. The next line we will now act as our resistance level. And then we'll take a short position just at the retest of the neck to this level. So that's how you treat a double top. That's how you treat a double top. Just show you the last thing. I think that's enough. So this is our neck line. So what you need to know is that double top, we're looking for short positions. We're looking for short position at the break or at the break of our neck line. So it's upon you where they want to take an aggressive approach, which is to wait for the break of the neckline to the downside in the winter short position, or you're going to wait for a retest and the MetLife. But what you need to know is that pretest does not always happen. Retest does not always happen, but it's safer to wait for a retest, then enter into your position. That's it, and that's how you treat a double top pattern. Let me see you on the next one we're going to cover are double bottom patterns. 3. Double Bottom Pattern: Hi again, welcome to yet another lesson. In this lesson we are going to cover double bottoms. So now that we have, we know what a double top is. And how do we treat a double top? Well, in a double top, as we have covered in the previous lesson, that we are looking for short positions. So a double top is an M formation. As you know by now that a double top is an inflammation, but a double bottom is a W formation. And in inflammation which is a double top, we're looking for short positions at the break of the neckline. The break of the neckline, we're looking for short position, but I'll double bottom. We're looking for long position at the break of the neckline. So it's an W formation w formulation. So the break of our trend line, we're looking for a better edit brave of her neckline. We're looking for low precision. So m is a double M that Tim inflammation is a double top, but it w or w formation is a double spot. So as you can probably see right here, this is our first bottom. This is our first term. This is our second term. This is our second bottle. And this would be our neck line. Right here. The break of the neckline, we enter and long position. So this is where you would enter one long position. Okay? The break of this neckline. Okay. So this is our next thing. This is our mid line. The break of this neckline, we enter into a long position. And how do you measure our TP would measure one of the lengths of this app from our neck line upwards. So this is where exit a treat. This is where I would exit out trader obviously, this is where I'll stop with Beaches pillow, probably 50 pips at most below our entry point. Entry level. Okay. So this is exactly, you treat this exactly how you would with your double-talk. It's just the opposite. Looking for long positions. If we can view this as a possible double bottom pattern. As you can see, this is our first bottom. This is our first bottom, and this is our second bottom. In this way, what we will do now here, we will wait for break, our weight for a break neck line. So this is neckline. You'd wait for the market to actually break this neck brace, the neck line. We are looking for N long positions and we just measure how he believed. This is a level of our TPN. Obviously, at the break of this neckline we're looking for along the position. Just make the screen for you a long position. So this is how you would read this. You would wait for the market to break this neckline and tend to lock position, then this is a TP level is and obviously with your stop, you stop would be below your enterprise in if you're looking for a long position. But if you're looking for short position, they'll stop would be just above your entry price. And this is also possibly a double bottom. So this may be our first button. This is Office bottom. And obviously with wafer reversal here in the market to create, but we don't know how far it's going to drop. But if you could put worse yet and this would be our second. And obviously this would be neck line. And wait for the market to actually break this new client. The market break this next line. We enter our long positions and tau long positions. And obviously as you know, how do we measure our TB? No. Okay. And would exit our position right here. This is on an airplane, as you know. Obviously this is our entry images shape, this entry point. This is our entry here, and this is our TB. And this would be our stock. So that's how you treat a double bottom looking for long position. So I hope that it makes sense. Let me see you on the next lesson. 4. Head & Shoulders Patterns: Welcome back to yet another lesson. In this lesson, we are going to go through the head and shoulders pattern. So when we trade the Head and Shoulders pattern, we are essentially looking for short positions at the break off, a neck line. But I think the most important things for you to know that head, head and shoulders, head, shoulders equals two short position. We are looking for short position. I'm going to make it red for you. Again. Head and shoulders, we're looking for short positions, so head and shoulder pattern looks like this. This high heel represents the head. It represents the head. Okay. And you can see the lower high on the left-hand side represents the left shoulder. This is our left shoulder. And then on our right-hand side of this screen, the lower high here represents the right shoulder. I hope that you can see now that it does make sense. This is the head, and obviously this is how as human beings we i as well. This is your head, which is higher than both your shoulders, your head, this is the head and this is our left shoulder. This is all right shoulder. But now how do you take a position here? Okay. This is what we call and neck line. This right here is what we call that line. Let me just show you quickly here. Okay. This is what we call a neck line and we want a break and our neck line in order for us to take a position. Okay. This is our claim. This is our neck claim. So how do you treat this? You wait for a break. Neck line K, Once the right shoulder completes and it breaks the neck line. Let me just write the line here so that you will not confused. Neck line. This is a neck line. So we want a break out at our net line to take a position. So this low in this law is what will represent our nullcline. So once the deadline has been broken right here, That's where you take a short position. But to be more safer, to be more conservative if you are aggressive, you wait for the right shoulder to complete the break up the right show the break of the neckline. You enter short position. If you are aggressive, but if you're more conservative, you wait for the break off your neck line and wait for retest back to the neck line. And once they retest, the neck line is now acting as our resistance because it has all previous support, as you can see here. And it was all previous support because of previous support. Now, we want the market to test the neckline, which was our previous support, now, confirming that is our resistance. And then we enter into a short position. Then we enter into a short position, obviously making use of our indicators such as your RSI or your stochastic, which we've covered on the minority of Forex trading course. If you have not yet checked out the cost, make sure that you do. So. We take our short position and how do we measure our TP? We measure a TB by the length of our head. So from our head up until our neck line, That's how we measure. Then we put it at our neck line to the downside. This is where our TP will be. This is where our TP will be. So we enter short position at the retest of the neckline. And TP is here. And obviously our stop should be maybe 50 pips away from our entry point. Okay. So let's just go and check with another instrument. As you can probably tell you as well. This is on my head. This is our head. And this is our left shoulder. Shoulder. This is our right shoulder. Your left and your right shoulder does not have to be on the same level? Okay. They don't have to be in the same level. You can have your left shoulder above, in your right shoulder a little bit below. Or your left shoulder a little bit below. Your shoulder above. Obviously. This will be our neck line. This is our neck line. If you connect these laws, the shoulders lose. This will be our neck line. So what we want here is that we want a break out for the right shoulder to complete and the breakout at our neck line. Okay. This is our neck line. Okay. This is our neck line. We want a break at our neck line. And if you are aggressive, you enter your short position. Other words, this is where our break is. This is where I'll break is. This is where you enter it should position if you are a, an aggressive trader. Or if you want to take the aggressive approach to measure your TP, you going to take the length of the head to the neck line, then measure it from the neck line to the downside. And obviously, this will be our TP our TP point. And your stock can be any way, maybe 50 pips away from your entry point. And obviously this is where our entry point is. Then you take TB here. But to be more safer. And if you want to take the more conservative approach, you wait for the break at your neck line and then retest back to the neckline and retest back to the client so that the neckline now acts as a resistance level, which was a previous support. And then that alone will confirm that we are now heading to the down side. This is your t, p or b. Okay. So this is your left shoulder. This is your head does your right shoulder and at the break of the neckline, that's where we enter our short position. Let's look one last 11 more time. If you look at German for d, As we can see here on our h4. This is our head. Okay. This is our left shoulder. This is our left shoulder. This is my right shoulder. And this will be our neck line. And we want the market to break. This will be our neck line. And at the break of our neck line, we're looking for short positions. This is on an incline. The break of this neckline, we are looking for a short position, obviously. Going to measure our T P by measuring our head to our neck line. Then from our neck line, downside. Either you wait for a break and right here, this is where you enter your short position or you wait for the market to come retest back. This neckline official market came down here. If you aggressive, you would have taken a position right here to a downside. But if you are more conservative, you would've waited for a retest, then enter your short position. So that's how we trade a head and shoulder. Head and shoulder equals two short positions. And B first, wait for a break out there, our neck line level. Then take our short positions either when the when the market breaks our neck line or the market breaks our neck line, then we wait for a retest. And once the market is retested necklace, then we enter into our short position. So that's how you trade Head and Shoulders pattern. See you in the next session where we cover inverse, the inverse head and shoulder pattern, really hope that you found value in this video. Let me see you on the next one. 5. Inverse Head & Shoulders: Welcome back to yet another lesson. On this video, we're going to cover the inverse Head and Shoulders pattern. As we have covered the head and shoulder. Obviously we've got shoulder. And when we do the head and shoulder, we're looking for a short position. So we've got a shoulder. Then we get the head, then we have a head. Then we get another shoulder, right shoulder. Then we wait for a break out the neck line. And obviously we get the neck line. Then we will wait for a break at our neck line and enter our short position. Okay, so that's basically what we have covered in the previous lesson of the head and shoulder. Now the inverse head and shoulder is, is just like the head and shoulder but facing downwards. So with the inverse head and shoulder, we're looking for long position. With the head and shoulders, we're looking for short precision. But with the inverse head and shoulder, we're looking for a long position, so we just write it down for you so that you can see inverse head and shoulder is equal to long positions. Long positions. So inverse head and shoulder with little forward and long position. So how the inverse head and shoulder looks like it's just a hair and shoulder which is facing downwards or in an opposite direction compared to the head and shoulder. Just write this down once again, inverse head and shoulder is equal to wrong position. So this is how the inverse Aiden shoulder looks like we've got our left shoulder. Left shoulder. And obviously we get our head. Then we get our right shoulder. And at the break of the neckline, we looking for long positions. This is where I'll break line would be. And we look for long position shifts the break of the neckline. It's either if we take an aggressive approach, we wait for the breakout of the neckline or if you're more conservative way for a breakout retest. Then we enter into our long position. So that's really how one treats and inverse head and shoulder. So let me just show you in the live market right now how you would. So as we can see right now on this instrument, which is Euro GBP daily timeframe. Here we've got a left shoulder to shoulder. And this is our left shoulder. And this is our right shoulder. And remember, they don't have to be at the same level, but approximately are more or less the same level. So here we've got our right shoulder and obviously we've got our head. Here. She is lower than our shoulders. We've got our head. Then. This would be our next line. Just this would be our neck line connecting our shoulders highs. Then obviously at the break which is here, it's where we enter into our long positions. The break of the neckline, this is where we enter our long positions. This is really buy into a long position. And obviously the red line here is our neck lie. This is our this is our neck line. So the break of the neckline looking for malposition and obviously how do we measure our TB? You'll probably know by now that we measure it through our length of our head. Can then run this app. From our neck line. And this is where our TP would be. So this is where TPU would be. An obviously stop level will be just below our entry point. And obviously, this is where our entry point is. Okay? So aggressively, just at the brink of our neck line, you'll enter into a loan position conservatively. You'll wait for a break out and every test before you go lock. But you won't always, the market won't always be retesting. The market will only be tasty. But the nicest thing about waiting for a retail, sometimes the market has, does fake break out. So it acts as if it broke out, then it drops within again. So that's what we want to avoid. That's a reason why it's probably safer to wait for a retest. So that's it. Let me just look at the second at a second instrument. Let me just go to oil. This one is still haven't yet fully played out. Okay, so let me just show you what you would do in this instance. This would be your left shoulder. This would be, remember this is an inverse head and shoulder and we're looking for long position. This would be a left shoulder. This would be our right shoulder, which is still playing out. This would be our shoulder. Obviously, down here. We'll have our head TO we'll have our head. And this is where our next line would be. This is where our new client would be. This is on Nick line connecting these two here. This is our new plan. Okay? Okay. And as you can see, the market is now broke. The market is now broke the neck line and test it. Now we are looking for and long position. And just to measure, we're going to take profits. We've measured this length of the head and we break it up from the neck line to here. And this is where our T p would be. This is where TB would be. And you'd enter your position right to the market is currently. That's where you enter. Enter into position here. Okay, pause, it broke and it tasted. Now the market will most likely go up. Okay. So this is our neck line, as you probably know by now, is our neck line. This is our TP. And our stock level would be somewhere here, just below the entry point. Okay? So that's the second one, the inverse head and shoulder. And obviously, last example would be this one. As you can see, that this was our first shoulder, which is our left shoulder. Left shoulder. And this was our head. This is our head. The market now is creating starting to create our shoulder. Good. This was our head. The market right now is to create our right shoulder. Okay? And now what we will do, we will wait for the formation of the right shoulder to actually complete and wants to market breaks. The next line. And obviously this is, this is how I'd nipple line would look like the marketplace. This neckline, we enter into and long position. So this is our head. Head. Head. This is our right shoulder, which is have not yet fully played out. Okay. This is like this is our left shoulder To shoulder. This is our wait-for, break. It, break it. And obviously, we measure a TP level somewhere here. This is our TP level. And obviously this is awesome way. I'll stop. Just put on entry. So that's how you actually treat the inverse head and shoulder. And you are looking for long positions with the head and shoulder, we're looking for short position. So I hope that it makes sense. And you're going to practice this and we're going to look for this pattern in your chart. But for now, that's it for this lesson. I'll see you on the next one. Cheers. 6. Always Keep Your Charts Simple: Hi once again. I hope you are enjoying the course thus far. I just wanted to remind you that your chart does not need to be all messy and full of, and full of lines, trend lines, horizontal lines, shapes and colors. It does not. You just have to choose with what works for you. In fact, I prefer a chart that is nice and clean and not too many tools within it. So just use your horizontal lines for your support and your resistance levels or your trend line for a trend. And then you can make use of tools such as your indicators as confirmation. Nothing else should be used. I feel like don't overwhelm yourself with too many things because you'll end up confusing yourself. Can just make use of what's necessary and leave the rest. I, let me see you on the next lesson. 7. Flag Patterns: Welcome to yet another lesson. In this lesson we are going to cover a chart pattern that is called a flat pattern. Reflect that in, is basically a continuation pattern or a continuation strategy. In other words, if the market is bullish, meaning it's in an uptrend, we are looking for long positions and a flat pattern. We are going to take long position in the market is bearish or we observe, or we see a bearish flag pattern, then we are looking for short position. As you know, the shape of the flag or the frame of the flag is that you've got a pole. Pole. And obviously you get your flat, you probably have seen this. Okay. Then you get your flag. So this is how, this is the shape of the flag and this is how a flag is. So what happens here is the market. If we looking at a bullish flag, the Margaret is obviously moving upwards, upwards, upwards, and then it consolidates. In other words, um, there's an indecision between bulls and the bears, between buyers and sellers in the market then consolidates, creating the flag. It consolidates here. Creating the flag. Just trying to change colors so that you can see it's Bulls and Bears that are actually in indecision here. Okay. So they, they, they are consolidating here. There's an indecision between the two. So it creates the flag right here. The bulls and the bears creates the flag. Then what we're looking for here, we are looking for a long position because the market is trending upwards, then it created this flag. But what we want to happen here is we want to train a break out of the flat. Okay? That's really how you treat a flat. So we want to create the breakout. We want the market to actually break out somewhere here. Once the market breaks out here, we will take a long position. Once the market breaks out here, we go long. It would take a long position. As you know, with whatever strategy you are using. If you're trading a breakout, you either treat aggressively or you approach it conservative or aggressive leeches. The breakout, you take your long position or your short position conservatively, You first wait for the breakout and then you get into the tree. So I'm just going to say break out is equal to long position. So we are taking a long position once the market comes to this level. And obviously how we measure our TP is that we will take this flag pole and measure it from the breakout to the upside. And that's where you will take your t p. So this, okay, I'm trying to get rid of this one. This, this is how we trade a bullish break out, bullish flag pattern. So bullish flag, you're looking for long positions. Just going to make this green so that, you know, we're going along bullish flag, we're looking for long positions. This is what we call flag pole. As you would know. If flag pole. Okay, I'm just going to make this black. This is a flag pole. And obviously this is consolidation. The market is consolidating right here. So there's an indecision between the bulls and the bears. Corn saw dictation. And obviously you will have your TP, 50 pigs away from your entry point. And this is where you enter the marketplace top. This is a bullish or bearish work is quite the opposite. So what will happen is that the market old trend to the downside. The market will drain to the downside. Just make this red to show you that we are in a parish, fled. And then the market who actually create the flag right here. To create the fled. Marketo create the fled. And obviously the market will consolidate here. Marco do consolidate and the breakout to the downside, we take our short positions. That's what we're looking for. A break out so that we can get into our short position right at the breakout of this flag. And how we measure our TB is that we're going to take this port and measure it to the downside. Obviously, That's where we will take our TP. This is consolidation. This is all flat board. And obviously at the break to the downside with them, so we take our position. So that's really how you trade a bullish or bearish flat pattern. Obviously, this is a bearish flag pattern. Just to show you this practically, Let's go to our charts. So I just wanted to delete everything here. Let's just go to our charts. So I'm just going to use historical price here. As you can see that this was a bearish flag. Petit mal could was trending downside here. Marketers trending down here. And it created a flag, right? Yeah. So the market created a flag right here. Maybe let me just created a flag right here and then write it this break out. This is where you would have taken our short position. This is where we would have taken our short position because the market broke down. So what happened here? The market was training to the downside and there was an indecision. Yeah. So the market started consolidating right here. So this was or is rather a consolidation. This is a consolidation. Mother started consolidating and obviously, this is a flag pole. This is a flag pole. Then this is consolidation. I just wanted to see if I can maybe color this. Doesn't shape, doesn't really look nice, so we just get it. But you can see this is consolidation and obviously how we measure our TP is we'll take our flag pole, measure it to the downside from here. And obviously, this is where we'll take our TP of which the market did reach this point. As you can see right here. So this is where we would have taken our TP. So this is our T P level. Going to make it blue so that you know, it's blueness. Tp level. This is Navy. Medium brain is fine as well. This is a this is our T B level. And obviously our stop can be anywhere, somewhere here, just above our, our entry point. And obviously this is our entry point. This is our entry point. To make this black. This is our entry point. So we have a flag pole or consolidation are anthropoid did the breakout, and we have OTP level as well as our stock can just check another instrument. Same thing here. We get our fled poll. Okay? Then we get our flag with the market stats consolidating. Okay? And obviously at the break flag, this is where we take our short positions. Is it bearish flag? Remember, this is where we enter our position and how we measure TPP is that we take a thread pool from year to year. And obviously this is really going to, this is our targets. So this is where we get off the crate and we've taken our t be somewhere here. So flagpole consolidation, TP, and obviously just above our entry price is above the breakout. That's where I'll stop, is. Same thing applies to our two are bullish, bullish. So we have our flagpole. And obviously the market starts consolidating, creating our flag. And we created now at the break out, this is where we enter our long position and obviously to the upside. Okay? So then that's really how you treat a flag pettiness. You can probably see, you can identify, can just see this pattern. It's all over. So it really depends on you to check out this pattern. This is where we enter position at the break to the downside. So we enter short position. Same applies to our bullish. Same thing to abolish the market. Trends to the upside and creates a flag right here. As you can see, it's a flag. And obviously we measure our TB from here to here. This is where it would have taken. Our TB are TP, This is our entry point at the break. Point that break off this flag. Take a long position. And obviously I'll stop would be below our entry point. So that's how you trade a bullish or bearish flag pattern, which is a continuation pattern. I really hope that you are going to look for this chart pattern. Make sure that you see and you are able to observe this pattern. See you on the next lesson. 8.
