In this remastered Chartwise Women archive workshop, Erin and Mary Ellen discuss the use of chart patterns in your trading decisions or as ways to add another dimension to your analysis. They look at some popular patterns that worked and some that did not work. Chart patterns can show you where to mark the "X" on your "treasure map" by using the targets that can be calculated from the expectations of these formations.
