Nice triangle
Thanks Willem,
I need to study more. I really appreciate your support and especially the charts. They're great. I know it is hard to save charts particularly with the 5 min system b/c things happen so fast. I also feel better today. It was a good day for me on the US markets. I also noted that you trade your triangles as soon as it breaks the triangle. I have seen this a number of time and missed them b/c I was waiting for the pullback. What make you decide to wait for a pullback particularly the difference b/t a breakout vs. a triangle?

So I study the price patterns on several websites. I even compile my own Word document with pictures.
Willem,
Would you please PM me and let me know the websites where you've seen these price patterns?

Hi Ray

Good question and you need to play around with it.

I usually look at the formation of the price pattern - how does it look meaning the quality of the pattern. Then I also look at the TC.

If the TC is formed when the the breakout occurs, I won't wait for a pullback but enter on the breakout (more risky, so I tend to take earlier profit). If the TC is a lot of pips away (indicator is showing that with the number next to the last bar formed) when the breakout occurs, I'll wait for the pullback/TC to form. But you also need to look at the candle of the signal bar. If it is too big or close to a previous low/high, I'll ignore the setup.

I also had a problem with the TC - sometimes they tend to be too late. Sometimes the price tend to continue a pips in the direction of your trade, then turns around. So frustating. So sometimes I let the setup/TC formation guide me. Not the TC itself.

It is all about getting the feel for the setup. Like I said, that is why there isn't an EA for this system.

After you see a pattern, do you wait for a bar close to enter the market (as long as the MACD confirms the trade)?

Hi Peter

Not always because if you wait for the bar to close, you'll missed out on 10pips and you'll enter too late. Sometimes just the breakout is more than 10pips (good for 10pips profit) and you can enter another trade if signals are there.

Hi maihua

Nice work - see what patience can do.

I also had 85% success rate last week with this system. 15% losses and no BE trades.

Hi Bs

I also would have left that one because I don't like a descending triangle in a uptrend. It could work out but I just don't like it.

I like to see an ascending triangle formed in a uptrend and a descending triangle in a down trend.

Well left alone.

Two nice trades on gu for 15 and 20 pips each. Everything else seems to be too close to the pivot line.

Here is the trade I placed today. I took it b/c of the ascending triangle. I took the trade prior to the candle closing and got out for 10 pips.
