 Tri-Star Reversal Patterns are made up of three dojis at the top or bottom of a trend  Tweezer Tops and Bottoms ... also known as the Wash & Rinse, are distinctly recognisable by a pair of long shadows, testing the highs or lows before a reversal. |

 A Normal Trend is NOT a 45 degree trend and is less volatile and more predictable.  A Steep Trend is a 45 degree trend that will become volatile or will tank upon becoming overbought. |

  Parabolic trends are the worse that a normal trend can become. They will tank drastically upon peaking. Although, they are also the most profitable directional trades in short runs. |

 This is typical of large paying dividend stocks. Predictable and minimal risk for short term traders.  The Swing Trader's favourite pattern. The shorter the wedge, the better for them. Trending Wedges are a sure sign of a break out as the wedge narrows. |

FLAGS & PENNANTS  Pennants & Flags are temporary reversals or pauses in a trend. A break out is usually a strong continuation of the trend and an entry signal for Swing Traders.
