The market isn't perfect...

Here are some chart patterns caught on the EURUSD, as you can see, your pattern doesn't have to be perfect. This may scare traders since most would be looking for perfect patterns. Those don't exist, adapt and believe in your knowledge and strategy. These patterns are the flag, corrective trend, and wedge. It's recommended that you open a trade when a 'breakout' occurs...or after a retest, to confirm your analysis. Good luck out there!
