STRUCTURE PATTERN
Double top and bottom
Two tests of a boundary separated by a meaningful reaction.
Rules visible before the outcome
- Two highs or lows within an ATR-based tolerance
- A minimum reaction between them
- A maximum elapsed window
02 / CONFIRMATION
When the idea becomes eligible
A neckline close, rejection rule or second-test trigger chosen before testing.
03 / INVALIDATION
What proves it wrong
A close beyond the tolerated second extreme.
The attractive mistake
Every range has repeated highs and lows; weak neckline and spacing rules overcount.
Make it falsifiable
Vary tolerance and spacing over broad ranges and include failed breakouts.
