Qualify the structure before you give it a name
Students arrive able to point at a triangle. Fewer can say which touches count, whether the prior swing earned a continuation reading, or why the third touch is still noise. The bootcamp begins with a pause: you describe the structure in plain language before you label it.
Our qualification card asks four questions: Is the prior move clear enough to be continued or reversed? Do the boundaries rest on more than one accidental wick? Has time passed in proportion to the prior swing? Are you looking at a liquid session or a thin print?
If any answer is weak, the chart stays unnamed. Unnamed charts are allowed. Forced names are not. The habit feels slow in week one and becomes the difference between a study and a superstition.
Practise this on daily charts of major FX pairs before you try it on a five-minute index future. Fewer, slower marks beat a gallery of maybe-patterns.
