What this tool does

Twenty practice questions present simplified chart pattern visuals — triangles, flags, head-and-shoulders, double tops, channels, and more — and ask you to identify the pattern.

How to use this tool

  1. Look at the pattern visual.
  2. Pick the matching name.
  3. Read the explanation and move on.

Example

Sample: a rounded top after an uptrend, with two shoulders and a higher head. Answer: head and shoulders. The neckline is the break level traders watch for confirmation.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Naming patterns that aren't really there.
  • Confusing flags (continuation) with wedges (often reversal).
  • Forgetting that patterns are reaction maps, not predictions.
