The easy answer to the question is "when it's not a pattern". And that really is the real crux of the issue... Let me explain. Let's take a look at one of the most simple patterns in technical analysis, the Double Top (Bottom). This is the hourly chart of Dollar-Swissie in a run up from the 1.0883 low which found a high at 1.1324. Following this it pulled back lower and then attempted to move back to the high once again. However, it failed just 6 points from that high and then declined quite sharply. |

When is an overbought RSI reading bullish and when is it bearish? One classic interpretation of momentum indicators is that of overbought and oversold. Normally these are quite good signals when used within a consolidating market although mere oversold or overbought readings should not be used to buy or sell (respectively) without other forms of analysis and preferably in shorter term time frame charts. |

Some of the most popular trading strategies in forex markets involve the use of Japanese Candlestick charts. Given a specific pattern in candlestick formations, traders look to buy and sell currencies in anticipation of reversal or continuations in price. Yet testing the profitability of such concepts is easier said than done. Given that many of these formations are inherently qualitative in nature, it is difficult to develop a reliable quantitative approach with which to test the viability of such strategies. That being said, we will attempt to quantitatively identify specific candlestick patterns and backtest the profitability of trading on such candlestick signals. The first ones that we will analyze are morning star and evening star formations. |

Trader A has a win percentage of 75% on all trades while trader B has a win percentage of closer to 40% on all trades. Which trader is more profitable? Of course we can't answer that as we don't know how much each trader makes when they are right compared to how much they lose when they are wrong. So the win percentage is not the most important factor in trading. |

Seven years ago when I was about to finish a long time study on how to understand the real meanings of economic concepts and in a shiny day when apparently everything did worked out well , I found myself a leading scientist of economics, someone who will be rich in couple of months. Seasons passed but nothing really happened with my saving account and I was fully desperate when I did get into disappointment hole. |

William Delbert (W.D.) Gann is regarded as one of the pioneers of technical analysis and market behavior. He wrote several books on stock and commodity trading and developed the well-known "Gann angles" and "Gann Fans." Gann was born on a farm near Lufkin, Texas, in 1878. His rise to trading fame is a remarkable story. He was the oldest of many children on the farm, and did not even finish grade school. Back then, it was not uncommon for the oldest boy to quit school at a relatively young age and stay at home to help out on the farm. |
