Curriculum
The path we use to build chart pattern recognition — from geometry to named families to measured decisions.
This curriculum is the spine of our intensives and clinics. You do not need to complete every step before booking a private review, but traders who follow the sequence tend to argue less with their own charts.
Swing geometry
Identify swing highs and lows, trend channels, and ranges before attaching pattern names. Practice on daily charts of indexes and liquid equities you already watch.
Reversal families
Head-and-shoulders, double tops and bottoms, rounding turns. Study left-right symmetry, neckline construction, and volume that supports or contradicts the turn.
Continuation & compression
Flags, pennants, rectangles, and triangles. Learn which compressions earn a breakout expectation and which are simply indecision without a tradeable edge.
Failure patterns
Breakouts that reverse within a few bars, shoulders that never complete, and triangles that drift. Naming failures early is part of recognition, not a separate subject.
Measurement & invalidation
Project targets from formation height. Write the exact price condition that cancels the pattern. This step is practised in our dedicated lab and throughout the intensive.
Live mark-up practice
Present your own charts to a coach or clinic group. Defend the label, the target, and the invalidation. Revise the annotation until the decision rule fits on one line.
Match the path to a lesson
Start with the Chart Pattern Intensive if you want the full sequence, or join an evening clinic if you need depth on one family this month.
