Neckline Quality Matters More Than the Pattern Name
Naming a formation feels like progress. Markets care more about whether the neckline has been tested, respected, and clearly broken. In Pattern Foundation Desk we start students on neckline quality: how many touches, how clean the reactions, and whether liquidity actually sat there.
A beautiful sketch with a weak neckline is still a weak map. Practice on printed charts first—hand drawing forces you to decide where the line actually lives instead of dragging a perfect vector that never existed in the tape.
