Commonly Used Forex Chart Patterns

Recommended Posts

In the Forex market, there are particular Forex chart patterns that appear from time to time. These Forex chart patterns usually signify the mass psychology of the currency market. It is therefore of paramount importance to know how to identify these charts since this will save you significant time as well as effort in your trading. When you master the art of reading chart patterns in the Forex market, then you are at a better position to make big returns from your investments in the Forex market.

 

Knowing how to analyze Forex chart patterns will literally take your trading career a quotient higher. It is worth mentioning that you should scrutinize the chart patterns in different time frames so as to add strength on the trading decision you will make. Forex chart patterns are very useful in helping traders to figure out when a break out is about to happen in the market. In addition, chart patterns can help in pointing out whether the existing trend will be maintained in the market or a change in trend is imminent.

 

Whereas there is an array of Forex chart patterns, in this article we are going to discuss one of the most common chart patterns used in the market. These are the triangle chart patterns. These charts are commonly used in the Forex market because they give a relatively simple method for trading in currencies.

 

Triangles Chart Patterns

 

Triangle chart patterns can be ascending, descending or symmetric and are especially common on short term time frames. A symmetrical triangle pattern is formed when the lower and the upper trend lines representing the lows and the highs candlesticks, form higher lows and lower highs and then converges to form a triangle.

 

The resultant slopes of the 2 trend lines are symmetrical. It is worth mentioning that in a symmetrical triangle chart pattern, the currency price can break out in either bearish or bullish direction; there is no bias towards the breakout direction.

 

The descending triangles are usually formed when the horizontal lower trend line and upper trend line forming the downward slope converge. Unlike the symmetrical triangle which can either be bearish or bullish, a descending triangle is a bearish break out formation. This being the case the bearish price action in essence outperforms the bullish price action in the market.

 

On the other hand, ascending triangle chart pattern is formed when the lower trend line that forms the upward slope and the triangle base converges. This chart patterns shows a bullish break out pattern where bullish price action outweighs bearish price action.

 

Though chart patterns appear slightly different for trading purposes, there is very minimal difference. Triangle chart patterns usually occur when the prices of currencies converge with the highs and lows narrowing into a tighter and tighter price space.

 

Application of Triangle Chart Patterns in the Forex Market

 

Triangle chart patterns are easy to recognize on the Forex charts since they mostly take sometime to form before the price action breaks out in the market. This said, the best way to trade in the Forex market using triangle chart patterns is to trade the break outs. For advanced and highly experience Forex traders, they can trade the price action that falls within the boundaries of the triangle. This is risky and therefore not good for novice traders and traders with inadequate experience. However these traders can trade break outs and make good money from their trading. It is highly recommended that the novice traders first use demo trading platforms to sharpen and improve their trading skills using these chart patterns before trading on a real platform.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
