Beginner Trading Patterns Guide

1. What is a Bull Flag?

A Bull Flag is a bullish continuation pattern. Price makes a strong upward move (flagpole), then
consolidates downward in a small channel before breaking out upward again.

How to Trade It:

1 Wait for strong bullish move.


2 Identify downward consolidation channel.
3 Enter after breakout above resistance.
4 Place stop-loss below recent low.
5 Target = height of flagpole.
2. Bear Flag

A Bear Flag is the opposite of a Bull Flag. Price makes a strong downward move, then consolidates
upward slightly before continuing downward.

Trading Steps:

1 Strong bearish move first.

2 Small upward consolidation.

3 Enter sell after breakout downward.

4 Stop-loss above recent high.


3. Head and Shoulders

A reversal pattern that signals trend change. It consists of three peaks: left shoulder, head (higher
peak), and right shoulder.

Key Rule:

Enter after neckline break. Target equals distance from head to neckline.
4. Double Top & Double Bottom

Double Top: Bearish reversal pattern after uptrend. Double Bottom: Bullish reversal pattern after
downtrend.

Entry is taken after neckline breakout. Always confirm with volume or momentum.
5. Support & Resistance + Premium & Discount

Support = area where price reacts upward. Resistance = area where price reacts downward.
Premium = price is expensive (upper part of range). Discount = price is cheap (lower part of range).

Final Rule: Always follow Higher Timeframe direction and use Lower
Timeframe for entry.
