Patterns
Breakouts, retests, structure breaks and level approaches — through the eyes of a detector that records every finding and honestly shows what price did next.

Who this course is for
For anyone who has seen the pattern feed and did not know what to do with it — or trades «breakouts» by eye. After this course you read every card in the detector's own words, know the thresholds of all nine kinds, can find the kinds with a real edge in the statistics, and build a trade plan around a level approach with a stop instead of hope.
- 1Findings, not signals: what a pattern really is5 minA pattern here is an event under a formal rule, not a «buy» tip. The difference sounds boring — and it is exactly what separates the testable from the sellable.
- 2Levels: where they come from and why a level is a band6 minFormations are computed from the same levels drawn on the chart: untouched liquidity and window extremes. No «levels by touches» drawn by eye — and that is a deliberate choice.
- 3Continuation kinds: breakout, retest, trend update and structure break5 minFour kinds that say «the move continues» or «the move has changed». Each has its own thresholds — and the differences between them matter more than the similarity.
- 4Liquidity sweep, knife, density bounce, impulse and range breakout5 minFive kinds about overshoot and burst: where a move deceives, where it exhausts, and where it is only being born. It is among these that the statistics most often finds a skew towards the bounce.
- 5«Approaching a level»: the only kind that lives before the event5 minEvery formation reports what already happened. A level approach shows what is being decided right now — the only kind you can build a plan around BEFORE the crowd piles in.
- 6The «Break | Bounce» statistics and the place of patterns in your process5 minThe table under the feed is the only judge of all previous lessons. The final lesson teaches reading it without illusions and assembles a working process out of patterns: filters, plan, risk, journal.
