Hi. head and shoulders(also inverse) is popular. attached is a formation on m1, and to scalp. initial target of 15-20 pips is fine and sell 1/2, or whatever exit you choose.
We are entering (long/short) aggressive on the right shoulder, and hoping for a trend reverse. if it doesn't reverse it is false signal which do occur as well.
but its also powerful, as it gives very early entry, and good risk to reward ratio.
Additionally you can look for S&R level but that is subjective...
Attached are three examples in my main currency pair AUD and a good h&s on JPY. it can work on any pair. the better the structure, the better the move sometimes...patience is key...AUD setup gave over 50 pips and superb entry, at a key S&R level 10360..even though trending down, pair was ranging allowed success...JPY pairs have been trending 1 direction, so H&s counter trend had to be fast scalps...
moving averages just used to gauge trend.
For LONG: Go long on completion of right shoulder of the pattern, on bullish candlestick bar close.
for SHORT: Go short on completion of right shoulder of pattern, on bearish candlestick bar close.
Target 15-20 pips.
