Stochastic oscillator – is a technical indicator designed by the president of "Investment Educators" corporation George C. Lane in the end of 1950-s. Stochastic estimates market momentum and shows position of present price against price range (between High and Low) for a definite time period. It is measured in per cent from 0 to 100. According to George C. Lane, “doesn't follow price, it doesn't follow volume or anything like that. It follows the speed or the momentum of price. As a rule, the momentum changes direction before price.”
A number of reversal patterns is indicated in Forex: Head and Shoulders, Double top, Double bottom, Triple top, Triple bottom, Diamond. Head and Shoulders Top – is a classical reversal pattern of technical analysis, which is formed following to a long upward trend. The model is considered to be fair reliable and is often formed. But despite above-mentioned, many beginning traders do not manage to take profit using this graphic pattern. The reason is that positions are opened prior to forming this model. Let's figure out the structure of the figure and its formation on the chart of trading terminal. The model consists from three subsequent price extreme points, the middle one is higher than others (head), and the rest two are below the middle one and are roughly equal (shoulders). All three uphills are supported by the neck line.
