how to spot ascending triangle before breakout?

Patterns (which can be all kinds of types) are just one part of a potential winning trade.

They are the setup, there still needs to be a trigger to get you. So effin what this or that plotted out if price doesn't do what is expected. Next.

Then of course proper management of it to minimize losses/maximize gains.
 
1) Trade an instrument that respects PA.

2) An ascending triangle means you are looking to get long whereas the reverse would be to get short. So look at trends on higher time frames that have an upward bias, then drill down to spot patterns in lower time frames.

3) An actual ascending triangle trade setup means you don't get into the trade till a breakout happens. So for example once you see the original pattern, you can just put buy a stop order with programmed stops and targets to get you into and out of the trade above the current price where a breakout might occur.
