This is an introductory book for the chart patterns, which can predict the turning point in the financial market. This book provides the introductory guide for Forex and Stock market trading with these price patterns. The patterns covered in this book include Fibonacci Price Patterns, Harmonic Patterns, Elliott Wave, and X3 Chart Patterns. We provide one unified scientific framework over these chart patterns with some practical examples. This book also provides the detailed description on both geometric and numerical support and resistance in the special chapter. At the end of the book, we provide you the several practical tutorials to help your understanding with these chart patterns. Each chapter provides the self-testing questions to ensure your understanding except few chapters. If you want to read my other two books including “Guide to Precision Harmonic Pattern Trading” and “Scientific Guide to Price Action and Pattern Trading”, I recommend to read this book first because this is an introductory book.
