Valid head and shoulders pattern?

At the high of the right shoulder I entered a short trade because I saw a potential head and shoulders pattern forming. I had to get out with a little profit when it reversed. Was this a valid pattern?
 
You can estimate it by yourself using Metatrader, for example -

A Head and Shoulders pattern is defined by one peak, followed by a higher peak, which is then followed by a lower peak, and finally a break below the support level established by the two troughs

This website is about MetaTrader and MQL. It does not have to do with the use of other trading platforms as the one you are using.

It might be best to post on the forum of that platform instead of here.

This article is a follow-up to the previous one called "Reversal patterns: Testing the Double top/bottom pattern". Now we will have a look at another well-known reversal pattern called Head and Shoulders, compare the trading efficiency of the two patterns and make an attempt to combine them into a single trading system.
