How to Trade Chart Patterns Like a Pro: Exact Entry, Stop, and Exit Rules for Double Bottoms, Head & Shoulders, Bull Flags, and More

Chart patterns work — but only if you trade them with a plan. In Lesson 10 of my free Technical Analysis Course, I break down the highest-probability patterns I actually trade, with the exact mechanics: entry triggers, stop loss placement, and profit targets.

Here is what we cover:

Reversal patterns — the double bottom and the head and shoulders. I show you where the reversal actually confirms, so you stop buying early and getting chopped up.

Continuation patterns — bull flags, bear flags, and ascending triangles. These are the bread-and-butter setups for trend-following trades: tight entries, clean risk.

Momentum and breakout setups — RSI divergence as an early warning signal, and the cup and handle. Divergence tells you momentum is fading before price turns, and that information matters.

Beyond the patterns themselves, I walk through the 6 rules of pattern trading, the common mistakes that blow up pattern traders (like trading the pattern before the breakout confirms), and how to confirm breakouts with volume.

The last section is on building pattern recognition through historical chart replay. Patterns are a visual skill. You do not get it from reading about them — you get it from looking at hundreds of them.

If you want to see these patterns applied in real time, I walk through price action live every Monday at 9 AM Eastern inside our live trading room — pointing out the setups before they move, not after. You can try the room free for 7 days.
