Why false breakout? Look at the image (this is Merrill's patterns for downtrend):

 

and look at GBPUSD M1 chart for now:

 

So, the pattern on GBPUSD chart is same as M3 Merrill, right? And the evolution of this M3 pattern was on the following way: M8 - M4 - M3. That is why it was false breakout.

Reversal patterns: Testing the Double top/bottom pattern 

Reversal patterns: Testing the Double top/bottom pattern

The analysis conducted in the article "How long is the trend?", shows that the price remains in trend for 60% of the time. This means opening a position at the beginning of a trend yields the best results. The search for trend reversal points has generated a large number of reversal patterns. The Double top/bottom is one of the most well-known and frequently used ones.

How to Trade Wedge Chart Patterns (based on the article)

How to Trade Wedge Chart Patterns

  • "Looking at the wedge chart pattern, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular with traders. This is because it’s easy to identify, and therefore has a bit “self-fulfilling prophecy” aspect to it. The fact that it also has a simple measuring tool built into it doesn’t hurt either, as it is very simple to use as a tool."
  • "The first thing that we need to do is identify what a wedge actually is. A wedge is simply two trendlines that converge towards an apex. In other words, price is compressing from both selling and buying pressure. It’s like a triangle but doesn’t converge in a horizontal manner. In other words, you may have an uptrend line as per usual, but at the top of trading during the last several candlesticks, the sellers are becoming a bit more aggressive, compressing the market. In this example, it’s what is known as a “rising wedge.” A rising wedge shows compression in and uptrend that signals that there could be something wrong. We are losing some of our momentum, and as a result the highs just aren’t as impressive as they once were. The beauty of this pattern is that a break down below the uptrend line signals that we are going to the bottom of the pattern itself, denoted by the blue line. Beyond that, what’s even more important is that at the very least most traders around the world will see that the trend line had been broken. So even if they are trading wedge patterns, almost all traders pay attention to trendlines. When they get broken, the catch is everybody’s attention."
  • "The stop loss would be placed on the other side of the pattern, and in this case it’s an easy 1:2 risk to reward ratio. By paying attention to the wedge, you are noticing that the market is running out of momentum, and that an eminent reversal may be coming. Wedges can be bullish as well."
  • "Like almost all chart patterns, there is the opposite as well. In that case, you are talking about the “falling wedge.” As you can see on the chart below, the US dollar had been falling against the Canadian dollar quite sharply, and then drifted a bit lower. Notice that the trajectory of the lows weren’t as strong as previous, and then of course the highs were becoming as aggressive as well."
 
Much appreciated Simba

Much thanks for the information. I glanced through the substance and it truly has all the info(and more) that I am keen on. I requested the book, yet it will take likely seven days to get it.

At any rate, it will intrigue perceive how we can apply those to FX.

One of the advantages of candlestick patterns is their simplicity: their description consists of only a few phrases, while the analysis handles only a few bars or even only one and thus it is accessible even to beginners.

Another advantage is the absence of specific requirements regarding the terminal and the hardware, as the analysis does not build any resource-intensive indicators. This fact was especially important decades ago, when computers were not as advanced as they are today. Many of the candlestick patterns were introduced in those days.

However, behind the simplicity of candlestick patterns, there is also a serious drawback, which can be eliminated by using the significantly increased capabilities of modern trading automation tools. This disadvantage is connected with the rough rounding of market situations to bar limits, which of course affects the efficiency of trading.
