Can you elaborate on this. I find the 45 Degree TL brk is more confirming in whatever time frame I use. Most of my best trades are when I take the 45 degree TL brk out/downs. What do you mean by your statements? (slope of +1)? What you mean by rise/run? brk out/down?
Dude -- you get a free pass on this one:
