It has four elements:<br \/>\n1. A left shoulder (a relative peak)<br \/>\n2. A head (a peak above both shoulders)<br \/>\n3. A right shoulder (a peak parallel to the left shoulder)<br \/>\n4. A neckline (a support or bottom of price activity).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Head and Shoulders Pattern in Action:<\/strong><br \/>\nTraders look at the break of the neckline as an entry position. They look at the neckline as a support level. These businessmen will set a target profit that is equal to the distance between the neckline and the head of the chart. The right shoulder is the mark for the stop loss order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes:<br \/>\n1. It is one of the most reliable chart patterns<br \/>\n2.
