h&s offers an alternate entry point that traders often pick, however, it requires due diligence, patience, and quick action at the right time. Traders taking this alternate approach watch the pattern and – after the neckline is broken – wait for prices to retrace upward to, or to slightly above, the neckline level. This is a more conservative trade that often allows a trader the opportunity to enter at a more favorable price. However, there’s the possibility that you might be waiting for a retracement that never develops and thus miss the trading opportunity altogether.
