Inverse Head and Shoulders in Forex Identify & Trade ...

Feel free to talk about technical analysis here (not argue against it), but before you ask any question make sure you see the following information:
Technical analysis (TA) uses historical price movements, real time data, indicators based on math and/or statistics, and charts; all of which help measure the trajectory of a security. TA can also be used to interpret the actions of other market participants and predict their actions:
Measure: Is the security's price trending, has it dipped or is it a falling knife? Interpret: Does the current price mean investors think it's undervalued or overvalued; when did they buy/sell more and why? Predict: If price reaches a certain point, will there be a rally or get rejected?
The main benefit to TA is that everything shows up in the price (commonly known as priced in): All news, investor sentiment, and changes to fundamentals are reflected in a security's price.
TA is best used for short term trading, but can also be used for long term.

Terminology

Indicator - a calculation based on price and/or volume, it can be displayed as a line/number on a chart or watch list; some indicators use statistics like standard deviation such as the Bollinger Bands indicator
trade signals - when an indicator tells you that a buy or sell (short) entry is available (also called buy signal or sell signal)
lagging indicator - based on past prices, for example the Moving Average indicator
leading indicator - typically oscillators which fluctuate from 0 to 100 and back, and these typically measure the rate of change; they also generate overbought, oversold, and divergence, all of which help create trade signals
oversold - a trade signal for when to buy, for example RSI below 30, however it's best to wait when the RSI line points upwards past 30 before buying
overbought - the opposite of oversold; for RSI it's above 70
divergence - when an indicator and stock price move inversely which foreshadows a coming change in the price
whipsaw - when trade signals & price suddenly reverse either stopping you out or making you exit your trade
resistance - an area on a chart where price can't seem to go higher. The main reason is that no one is willing to buy above that price or there's more sellers than buyers.
support - an area on a chart where price can't seem to go lower. The main reason is no one is willing to sell below that price or there's more buyers than sellers.
breakout/breakdown - when price breaks support or resistance
alerts - a notification for when price hits your desired target, some software allows you to place the alert direction on a chart
level ii - This shows all bid & ask orders from market makers, usually your broker charges a fee for this, and is only really usual for day trading
trend line - can be a moving average, previous day's high, an indicator, you can even draw a line connecting all the highs or lows for example
Market participants - also includes market makers, institutions, and retail & institutional investors. Different markets have different participants such as futures (hedgers & speculators) and forex (banks & speculators).

Useful indicators

Moving average (MA) - lagging indicator that averages previous prices, for example MA 20 will average the previous 20 days; MAs do not predict price movements, they smooth out price changes. Common averages are 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200. Typically you use 2 to 3 per chart.
RSI - relative strength index, takes the average gain of the stock price divided by the average loss over a number of periods, default 14; starts to reverse when it points down from 70 (sell signal) and reverses agian when it points up from 30 (buy signal)
VWAP - intraday indicator, takes the average price and weighs it by volume, basically you want to be short below VWAP and go long above VWAP; near the VWAP line (or price) there can be lots of whipsaw
MACD - combines momentum & trend indicators; gives off many trade signals including ovebought/sold and divergence, see link here note that the histogram in the center shows how wide the MACD & Signal line are from each other
ATR - Average true range gives a number that tells you how wide price movements are, great for helping set stops. ATR on a daily chart of 5 means average price movement of 5 points, typically you would have a stop loss 2x ATR so in this case it would be 10 point wide stop. If a stop loss of 2x ATR is too high for you, then trade a different stock.
Bollinger Bands (BB) - takes the standard deviation of price times 2 (default); in statistics, 95% of all values are within 2 standard deviations. BB is typically used for resistance and support, more info here.
Ichimoku clouds - Combines even more indicators, good for beginners, see here

Methods or Systems

Trend Following - Basically you're buying shares as a stock is going up or shorting as it's going down. Investopedia's intro to trend trading.
Fading - shorting as price falls from resistance, or buying as price rises from support
Channels - very much like fading except you find 2 parallel trend lines that price has been bouncing between, see here
Patterns - Double tops, head & shoulders, and cup & handle are the most watched for, see here for more, don't get too caught up in patterns.
Breakouts/Breakdowns - while patterns can be attractive, breakouts/breakdowns happen all the time; here's one way to take advantage of them
Pivots - these used to be for pit traders in the exchange, just 5 numbers they needed to navigate the day's price movements, but are still used online and stock prices tend to breakout or reverse off these pivot lines
