Measured on the bars after each breakout: target or invalidation, whichever is touched first. Past outcomes do not predict future ones.
How the symmetrical triangle works
Neither side is in control, so swings get smaller. While it is forming the engine reports it as neutral and shows both lines to watch.
Breakouts in the direction of the larger trend tend to be more reliable.
- Confirmation
- A candle close beyond the upper or lower line.
- Target
- The triangle's widest height, projected from the breakout.
- Fails if
- A close back inside the triangle soon after the break.
