Even with the same 4-hour chart and H2 pattern, a profitable trade in one trade might be stopped out in the next: you might not have miscounted the candlesticks, but rather entered the trade at the wrong point. Price Action Analysis In a daily uptrend, a 4-hour pullback to key support forms an H2, and buyers might use this second upward move to regain control. However, in the middle of a daily range, the same H2 pattern could simply be a false breakout during a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. In the former case, you need to observe whether the downward pressure weakens after the first failed upward move, whether the second signal candlestick closes at a high level, and whether it subsequently breaks through the high and gains momentum; in the latter case, if the candlesticks overlap significantly and the breakout is immediately followed by a pullback, it's not worth forcing a trade. The H2 pattern counts two upward attempts, not necessarily two complete lows. Most importantly, the H2 pattern is merely an entry trigger; the context, position, and risk/reward ratio are the filters.
