They are a two candle pattern - bullish and bearish, and are really just a modified harami.

I must point out that originally they were observed by some very good chartists on this site and are not an original idea of mine. The patterns have been published before so I don't think there is harm in repeating them.

Bullish two sword - look for it at the bottom of a trend and anticipate a reversal.

Bearish two sword - watch for at the top of a trend for a possible reversal, or even mid-trend.

Don't be too overly concerned about the exactness of the pattern, a little overshoot outside the preceeding candle is O.K. I find they work well if there is decent volume at the turns as well.
