Fig. 2 The head and shoulders: observed chart pattern. This figure shows an observation w<strong>in</strong>dow<br />

<strong>in</strong> which the Head and Shoulders chart pattern is detected through both M1 and M2 methods<br />

(detailed <strong>in</strong> Appendix B). The dashed l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> both graphs illustrates the smoothed price curves<br />

and the solid l<strong>in</strong>e, for the first graph, presents the orig<strong>in</strong>al price curve. The second graph shows<br />

the orig<strong>in</strong>al price series through bar charts. Each <strong>of</strong> them <strong>in</strong>volves the maximum, the m<strong>in</strong>imum,<br />

the open and the close price for each 5-m<strong>in</strong> time <strong>in</strong>terval<br />

The HS chart pattern is characterized by a sequence <strong>of</strong> five extrema Ei (i =1,..,5)<br />

such that:<br />
