Funny enough, I went through a very similar phase — except I actually did redo my kitchen first because it was easier than figuring out which double tops were real. What helped me later was slowing down and forcing myself to wait for proper confirmation instead of assuming I could “feel” the reversal coming. When you look at examples in https://forextester.com/blog/reversal-patterns/ you’ll notice that the clean structures almost always have some form of retest or hesitation around the neckline. In live trading, I try to mimic that by watching how price behaves right after forming the second peak. If momentum suddenly dies or you see a sharp rejection wick, that’s usually a stronger hint. I also record these moments with screenshots, because reviewing them later made me realize I kept jumping in too early. The pattern works, but only when it’s actually complete — not when we’re impatient.
