Educational tools — not financial advice. These do math on numbers you read off your own chart. They are not trade signals, predictions, or recommendations to buy or sell anything. Trading involves risk of loss.
Most classic chart patterns come with a textbook “measured move” — a target derived purely from the pattern's own height. Pick the pattern, read the price points off your chart, and see the projection and the level that would invalidate the setup.
Measured-move target (bearish)
Rule: neckline − (head − neckline) = 100 − (110 − 100)
The textbook setup is generally considered failed if price closes back through this level.
A measured move is a textbook projection of the pattern's own geometry — not a prediction that price will reach it, and not a recommendation to trade. Markets routinely fall short of or overshoot measured moves.
The measured move just projects the pattern's height from the breakout. It tells you what the textbook target would be — not that price will get there. Real markets fall short of and overshoot these targets all the time, and a pattern can fail outright. Pair the target with the risk/reward calculator to see whether the setup is even worth the risk.
