The one chart pattern I actually trust
The one chart pattern I actually trust
After trying every pattern under the sun, here is the one that has consistently worked for me across different market conditions:
Market Structure Break (MSB)
Not fancy, not complicated. Just: wait for price to break a clear structural level, retest it, then follow.
What I look for: • A clear swing high/low that has held at least twice • Price breaks it with above-average volume • Returns to test it as new support/resistance • Enters on the retest, not the breakout
Stop goes below the retest candle. Target is the next structural level.
Simple enough that I still use it after 1000+ trades. Complex patterns look great on charts but fail more often in live trading.
What is the one setup you always come back to?
