A Question About Risk

What is the Head and Shoulders Pattern and How Can It Be Identified on a Price Chart?

In a head and shoulders pattern, there is a shoulder, a head, and another shoulder. It consists of a rounding formation, followed by a higher rounding, and then another rounding. It's important to note that there are both head and shoulders patterns and inverse head and shoulders patterns, also referred to as head and shoulders bottoms by some traders. These patterns are always reversal patterns, similar to double tops and double bottoms. They often resemble double tops and bottoms, but with an additional rotation. However, there are some very specific characteristics, just like with double tops and bottoms.

My partner, Mike Arnold, and I spent years analyzing data to develop higher probability ways to trade these patterns. We are very strict in how we interpret these particular formations. The target for a head and shoulders pattern is based on a measured move. To determine the measured move, first identify the high of the head and measure straight down to the approximate level of the neckline. Subtract the difference between the two. Once the neckline is broken, subtract the number you calculated from the price at the break of the neckline, and that will give you your target. You would typically go short when the price breaks below the neckline.
