The symmetrical triangle pattern breakout is based on price breaking one of two converging trend lines.
I use those little symmetrical triangles on the 1-min chart to assist me with precision entries because I have a fairly small max risk per trade.
But my main trading chart, the one that gives me the big picture, is the 5-min chart. The trend lines I draw there appear on my 1-min chart where I take my precision entries.
Here is how a setup based on the 5-min trend line looks at the hard right edge of the 1-min chart.
Not unlike the one I posted Tuesday morning, just before the open, just before we shot up 25pts.
Aren't they great?
