Head and shoulders: what's your confirmation?

The head-and-shoulders reversal pattern is famous enough to be self-fulfilling — and fake enough to need strict rules. The neckline break is the classic trigger, but breaks alone fail regularly.

• the neckline definition you use (horizontal, sloped)
• your entry: break, retest, or measured move
• how you handle the pattern failing
