Chart Patterns

The Chart patterns i will cover today, with the rules to follow
to ensure the highest probability of success, are patterns that
i personally take and if you are a beginner i suggest you back
 test then before apply them to your live trading.

FTR

An FTR or Failed To Return, is a candle pattern in trading.

What this pattern shows is that as price is in an up/down
trend, price will push back and collect orders (causing  a
candle close of the opposite direction) before continuing
the current trend. Bullish

(https://ateentrader.com/wp-

This is a Bullish FTR drawn with lines, not candles,
essentially what this is a small pull back in price to collect
orders to trap sellers and gather more buyers before
continuing up.

examples.jpg)

This is an FTR on a live chart, as you can see we had 3

bullish candles in a row, then a small red candle (the FTR
candle) and a er we continued the push up. How to enter
on this candle pattern is very simple, wait for a close of the
next candle ABOVE the FTR candle and then ride the
momentum to the next zone. With a Stop Loss BELOW the
wick of the FTR candle.

Bearish
(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/Bearish-FTR-Example.jpg)
A Bearish FTR is simple the opposite of the bullish FTR,
price is in a downtrend and has a single candle pull back
that serves as a liquidity grab (order grab). And A er results
in a continuation of the downward move.

UJ 15m

(https://ateentrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Ftr-
example.jpg)

Above we have an example of a Bearish FTR on a candle

chart. What you can see is that we where in bearish
momentum, created an FTR to collect orders and then
furthered the push to the downside. Entering on this would
be just like the Bullish, We would seek entries a er the
bearish candle engulfing the FTR candle with a stop loss
ABOVE the FTR candle.

FTB

A FTB or a First Time Back, is essentially a move BACK to an

FTR that was formed. What this is is a manipulation play
that is created by the market makers to trap people in the
wrong direction orders, and then continue price back in the
overall momentum.

FTB Rules:

Stick with the trend

Price Must Create a Single FTR candle
Price Must Pull Far away from the FTR candle before
coming back (10+ pips)
On the Retest, the Candle MUST close inside the FTR
zone, and the next close OUT of the zone.
If price moves away from FTR, then consolidates before
coming back=INVALID.
Use TF 15m+
Place Stop Loss Below/Above FTR candle (including wick)
If on the FTR retest the candle Closes PAST the FTR
zone=INVALID.

Bullish

(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/bullish- b-example.jpg)
As you can see here, the le was an FTR and price then
proceeded to push away from that but later (usually a few
hours) price came back and Retested that zone before
 rejecting and continuing the initial move.

CHFJPY 15m

(https://ateentrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/ b-
Bullish.jpg)
Here is a bullish FTB, which just simply means that we
where in a bullish trend and created it. This is a A- not an A+
set up. Still very good. So what we see here is an uptrend,
then an FTR ( i drew zone in) then we pushed away from
that zone (25 pips) which is perfect. Then over the next 1h
we pulled back and had a bearish candle close directly in
the zone, and the next candle was a bullish outside of the
zone, which is where we take entries. On this set up a stop
loss around 8 pips and a TP at the zone in which we initially
moved from is how i would approach this trade.

Bearish
(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/Bearish- b-example.jpg)
A Bearish FTB is the reverse of the bullish, price is in a
downward momentum and creates an FTR to collect orders
to continue the move. Then price finds a support (usually a
minor) and pulls back to the FTR and when it rejects we
look for sells back to that minor support zone.

EU 15m
(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/bearush- b.jpg)
This was a very good setup. Price Created a very nice FTR,
we pushed far away (25 pips) pulled back to the FTR and
closed inside the zone. Then we had a bearish engulfing,
a er that candle we look for entries. With our stop loss
above the FTR zone (12 pips) and our Take profit at the
initial reversal (25 pips). Note: a er the initial target is hit,
feel free to let one position run.

RBR

A RBR or Rally Base Rally is a simple concept. Price is in

bullish momentum, pushes up and then creates a short
consolidation or Base period, and a er that base period is
over (the base period is when we are collecting orders to
fuel the next push) we get our second rally stage. Bullish 

(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/Rally-Base-Rally.jpg)
Here, as you can see we are in bullish momentum, we have
a bullish Rally, We then find a base while collecting more
orders. Then we break out of the base zone and continue to
phase 2 of the rally stage.
(https://ateentrader.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/rbr-
2.jpg)
Here is a live example of Rally Base Rally. As you can see we
had a strong bullish push, then had a base. This base was
actually creating Higher Highs and Higher Lows, better
allowing us to know we will continue into the second rally
phase. On a RBR set up, when looking for entries. If i am not
already in entries prior to the base, we will wait for the base
to break and start the second rally phase, and place our
stop loss below the lowest part of the Base phase and look
to take profit at the next zone.

Bearish
(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/Drop-Base-Drop.jpg)
A DBD is simple a reverse RBR, this is when price is in a
bearish momentum and tanks, then we find a base (which
is price collecting orders) before then continuing the
bearish momentum.
(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/12/Drop-Base-Drop-example.jpg)
Here is a live example of a DBD, price was in south
momentum, created a base and then furthered the tanking.
Looking for entries here, first you could look at the green
arrow. Price was exhausting and entering a er the bearish
candle could have been valid. OR you could have entered
a er the blue candle, which is the candle that broke out of
the consolidation box.

What an awesome setup! FTR is excellent

when happens near a resistance/support
price, giving us much better entry and
confirming the momentum to the breakout.
