Some tips for this thing that I've noticed while trading it (but consider that I'm using constant volume charts):
- Cup and handle like formations all over the place... although I commonly see the handle hit a 61.8% retrace rather than 50%. They're not always perfect, but trace highs to highs or lows to lows to get a picture of it.
- Likes 3 drives patterns, both bullish and bearish. If you pay attention to one pattern, pay attention to this one.
- I rarely see a straight up head and shoulders, both normal and inverted.
- Pay attention to where you are, higher highs vs lower highs, etc. even if something appears as breaking out, don't assume it'll breakout from the perspective of a higher timeframe. Be flexible.
- Give yourself room or you *will* be ticked out. Forget about 10 tick stops and the like unless you're absolutely perfect.
