Double Top / Bottom

Learn to identify potential reversals at key levels.

This is the double-test setup already documented for 9. It is the project's educational version of a double top or double bottom, not a separate performance claim.

This is an example of how traders often plan the pattern. It is not a promise that price will reach the target.

Identification

  • Price tests a similar high or low twice.
  • A neckline sits between those tests.
  • The educational entry is after price breaks that neckline.

Market context

The same structure is bullish at a low and bearish at a high. The page does not assign one direction.

Entry example

Price tests a similar high or low twice, then breaks the neckline between those tests. The educational entry is after that break, not while the second test is still forming.

Stop-loss example

Beyond the extreme of the two tests.

Target example

A common teaching method measures the height of the pattern and projects it from the neckline. That measurement is a plan, not a forecast.

Common mistakes

  • Entering during the second test before the neckline breaks.
  • Treating the measured move as a forecast.

Candlestick and chart patterns are probabilistic observations, not guaranteed trading signals. This page does not report a win rate.
