"Symmetric Triangles" are a sign of indecision in the market, where prices are making both lower highs and higher lows. This pattern forms when supply and demand are roughly equal, causing uncertainty. Most triangles result in a clear breakout in the direction of the previous trend.
Trading strategy: Trades should only be initiated when there is a confirmed breakout or breakdown in the triangle pattern. Entry should be made when the price trades above or below the high or low of the bar that represents the breakout or breakdown.
Target: The target for most "Symmetric Triangles" is to gain 100% of the entire triangle range in the direction of the breakout. Partial exits can be set at 50% of the distance from the trade entry. Trail stops should be used to protect the target.
Stop: In the event of a false breakout, stop orders should be placed below the first major swing low for a long setup and above the first major swing high for a short setup, along the trend line.
