Lesson 2 – Introduction to Classic Price Patterns

This session introduces you to the most common price patterns.  Building on the knowledge leaned from the previous DVD, you will be in a better position to understand how patterns are formed and the psychology behind them.  If you can rationalize why a pattern is being formed, you will be in a better position to anticipate when a breakout might turn out to be a whipsaw, and how you can protect against this.  This session also explains how price objectives are determined from patterns.  A large number of market place examples in all time frames is generously dispersed throughout the presentation.  The individual formations covered are:

Rectangles
Head and shoulders tops and bottoms
Triangles
  Double tops and bottoms and triple formations, including Chinese and Lucky Seven double bottoms.
  Broadening formations, broadening wedges and giant wedges
   Cup and Handle formations
