Ten supporting formations

The setups worth recognising even though they aren't signals — the ones that add or remove confidence from a trade you're already watching.

A printable reference

Every pattern in one table with what defines it and how much weight to give it, plus a five-second checklist to run before you click buy.

Worked examples

Two real decisions side by side — the trade you skip and the trade you take — with the reasoning that separates them.

The part most guides skip

A perfect pattern in the wrong place is a losing trade

Page 10 is the one that costs people money when they skip it. Five questions to run every setup through.

01

Where is it forming?

The same candle is a reversal at a fresh low and a trap at a level price has already rejected twice.

02

What is the higher timeframe doing?

You trade the 5-minute, but the money is made or lost on the levels above it. Zoom out before you commit.

03

Is there a level between entry and target?

If support or resistance sits in the path to TP1, the trade has to break something before it pays you.

04

Does it align with the trend?

Counter-trend patterns need more evidence. Longs above the 200 EMA, shorts below, removes a lot of noise.

05

What time is it?

Patterns forming in the first hour carry the volume to follow through. The same shape at midday often doesn't.

↳

The rule of thumb

Mark your levels first, wait for price to reach one, and only then ask what the candles are doing.
