Forex 3 types of chart patterns in technical analysis

[FXOchartist]

Basically, the market does move dynamically, but market patterns often repeat their history. Studying the types of chart patterns can provide useful advantages in trading in financial markets, whether in forex, crypto, index, commodity, or ETF CFD trading.

Referring to the FXOpen blog article, there are 3 types of chart patterns that traders need to learn

• Reversal pattern
• Continuation Patterns
• And Bilateral Patterns

Reversal patterns reflect patterns that have the potential for a reversal or change in trend. Trend changes can be an early warning for traders to make trading setups or exit before the trend changes
Continuation Patterns reflect market patterns that have the potential for trend continuation. This pattern has the characteristics of a temporary trend pause, consolidation phase, and resumption of the trend.
Bilateral Patterns reflect market patterns which are indecision markets, here the trend may continue or may reverse.

If traders can recognize these chart patterns, they can potentially develop their trading skills to get the right trading plan setup.

There are so many trading tool in financial market, however in daily trading activity we will choose trading tool that we needs, and should to understand no perfect indicator can predict price ahead 100% accurate, noise analysis still possible occurs, here risk management still need to be concern

all forex trading patterns as far as I know falls below these patterns, I think names like Head and Shoulder and Hanging man pattern are just dress ups and make ups, so that people will be able to remember them easily without much stress but if you look at what's under the hood is mostly going to fall on one of the three.

Also, when people get started with forex trading patterns they wait to see them in full glory before they take action, it should be the opposite, you should be able to take trades when you see a formation because it's mostly not going to happen exactly like it is in the textbooks.

Definitely yes, sometimes the market moves outside the textbook, therefore the role of risk management remains important here, the market pattern that is formed only reflects what is happening in the market, and it can move dynamically according to the flow of demand and supply volume. However, patterns that occur frequently repeat their history, potentially providing better trading signals.
