To many novice investors, chart patterns might as well be tea leaves. Can they really tell you anything reliable? And even if they can, how in the world do you know what to look for?
Experienced traders know that the answer to the first question is a resounding “yes.” As for the second one, we at EWI are all about recognizing chart patterns. To help you get started on this path, we’ve put together a free Club EWI resource called How to Use Bar Patterns to Spot Trade Setups.
It’s a collection of lessons in trading and pattern recognition by one of EWI’s top trading seminar instructors, Jeffrey Kennedy (who is also the firm’s senior commodities analyst).

Chapter 1: How To Use Bar Patterns To Spot Trade Setups
Double Inside Bars
While many of my co-workers jog, bicycle or play in bands
for a hobby, I amuse myself by looking through old price charts of stocks and commodities. Let’s look at a bar pattern that I call a “double inside day.”
Many of you who subscribe to my Daily Futures Junctures have
seen me mention this bar pattern. I think everyone should be
familiar with it. Why? Because it often introduces sizable
moves in price — always a good reason for a trader to pay
attention.
So let’s begin with a basic definition: A double inside
day, or bar, occurs when two inside bars appear in a row. An
inside bar is simply a price bar with a high below the previous
high and a low above the previous low.
Notice that the range of price bar number two encompasses
price bar number one, and price bar number three encompasses
price bar number two.

and the price moves that followed. (Continued.)
