  • How To Trade The Head & Shoulders Pattern

    From orbex.com

    Standard and Inverse Head & Shoulders are two sides of the same coin and are the exact opposite of each other. That said, both signal the end of a directional move and hint at a reversal. A standard Head & Shoulders is always formed at the top of the chart and, upon successful completion, signals a bearish reversal. An inverse Head & Shoulders is the exact opposite. It is always formed at the bottom of the chart and signals a bullish reversal. Why Do Reversals Occur? In hindsight, price reversal occurs when the trend in any one direction is about to end.

Exactly. H&S is just nothing to care about. In 50% of the ovations when the price cannot make higher high or lower low, just takes a break after which continues in the same direction. In the other 50% of the cases the price does the opposite- it reverses.

50/50. You need to look for another indication to determine the movement. S&H alone means nothing.
Totally historical trading, go spot these in real time. neck line breaks and suddenly the H+S pattern becomes a range and price shoots off stopping you out. I will make a video about patterns like this, and how you can turn your hit rate from a 50:50 into a 80:20 or greater, all I ask is that you support my channel, and I will expose the horse shit in the industry.

Most times price has gone far before you realise the pattern that is forming.
My take, study the price movement on the chart from left to right like a story book, then you will know what to do next.
Simple.
