Advanced 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

The line joins the peak after the left shoulder and the peak before the right shoulder.

Technical

Neckline anchors are (i1,n1) and (i2,n2), both confirmed before candidate availability.

Scope

Using a provisional peak would make the bullish boundary noncausal.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Inverse H&S Peak Neckline Anchors on a deterministic close fixture and checks pivot timing, threshold equality, neckline behavior, and rejection diagnostics before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Using a provisional peak would make the bullish boundary noncausal.
