If you trade on an inverse h and s pattern, you are a big loser. Look at daily chart, on 4/6, 4/22, 5/9, 5/19, they were all inverse h and s patterns before they got punched through.So you lose 4 and win 1.
A good trader uses the actual candle shapes + indicator/other gauge of the short term trend in addition to the patterns, so they would not be blindly taking H/S patterns. I think the ones who try it blindly and obviously fail with that method are the same ones who come to forums and say "technical analysis is bullshit!"
The first 15 minutes RTH will typically show you if there's going to be a trend from the open or broader 2-sided trading in the MES.
Today morning it was not. It was a seesaw with in two hours from 9:30 AM. It was after 12:00 it showed the real direction.
