What is Expanded flat?

An expanded flat is a flat variant where wave B exceeds the start of A and wave C typically travels beyond the end of A. It looks like a fake breakout then a deeper C.

Expanded flats trap Subscribers who treat the B extreme as a confirmed trend. Invalidation beyond the true structure extremes matters more than the first spike.

When a Channel labels an expanded flat, check that take-profits for C use equality or extension of A—and that the stop is not sitting inside normal B overshoot.
