How to read this signal
- 1 The breakout was confirmed by the 30 min candle closing above the pattern at 401.00.
- 2 The target, 409.69 (+2.2%), is the pattern's height projected from the breakout.
- 3 A move to the invalidation level, 383.50 (-4.4%), cancels the setup.
- 4 Reward : risk is 0.5 : 1: the distance to the target divided by the distance to invalidation.
- 5 Trend context: against the trend.
