There are few better reversal patterns to classical technical traders than Head-and-Shoulders setups. However, proper development and follow through are critical in seeing these trades play out successfully. A lack of trend to actually reverse and tangible progress in the turn (breaking the neckline) to elevate the effort beyond a blind attempt to 'pick a top or bottom' are essential yet frequently overlooked requirements. In today's Strategy Video, we discuss the finer points of a head-and-shoulders pattern, the elements that help the it unfold properly and current examples (AUDUSD, EURGBP, GBPAUD, EURAUD, NZDUSD and S&P 500).
