You also might want to add this page to your bookmarks in case you need to double-check those chart patterns’ signals before you risk your hard-earned cash on a trade.

You never know when you’re gonna need to cheat, hah! Bookmark this thing yo!

And as you probably noticed, we didn’t include the triangle formations (symmetrical, ascending, and descending) in this cheat sheet.

That’s because these chart patterns can form either in an uptrend or downtrend, and can signal either a continuation or reversal.

Confusing I know, but that’s where practice and experience comes in!

Like we mentioned, it’s tough to tell where the forex market will breakout or reverse.

So what’s important is that you prepare well and have your entry/exit orders ready so that you can be part of the action either way!
