Triangle Patterns

Triangle patterns occur during a range and for the most part a continuation pattern.

There are three types of triangles found on a chart:

Ascending Triangles - Typically break to the upside

Descending Triangles - Typically break to the downside

Symmetrical Triangles - A continuation pattern that can break to either up or downside.

 

Like other patterns, triangles can be seen almost everywhere on a chart.

Knowing how to identify the structure of a textbook triangle will tell if you it's valid or not.

Triangles can appear similar to wedge patterns and pennants, so make sure you are identifying the correct pattern.

 

As always you never want to trade this pattern alone, use additional confluence factors such as; volume and Fibonacci levels.

23:36 – CHECKLIST BEFORE ENTERING A TRADE

ENTRY of a trade setup (probabilities of winning)

SL – clear invalidation

TP – resistances, targets

After three ticks – is the R:R ratio at least 2:1, preferably 3:1

 

33:46 – ASCENDING TRIANGLE

  • Mostly a continuation pattern
  • There should not be much white space
  • The break should be on high volume

 

47:37 – DESCENDING TRIANGLE

  • Mostly a continuation pattern
  • There should not be much white space
  • The break should be on high volume
  • High to low usually .618

 

52:24 – SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE

  • A continuation pattern
  • There should not be much white space
  • The break should be on high volume – vital
