Let’s say that you have been trading for a while. Let’s say that your results have been less than stellar and that this is because of problems that show up when you are trading. These problems could be a combination of any of the ones that I’m going to list below.

To make money in combination with freedom to work from anywhere, being your own boss and being able to do anything that you want, when you want is some of the main reasons why people get into the trading game; at least initially.

Let’s start.

In this post I will be covering the double top and double bottom pattern; classic chart patterns in technical analysis known as reversal patterns.
