Triangle pattern basics

Triangle pattern = price action consolidation. 2 trendlines converging. 3 typy: symmetrical (neutral), ascending (bullish), descending (bearish).

3 typy triangles

„Symmetrical: 2 converging trendlines (neutral, 50% bullish/bearish). Ascending: flat top + rising bottom (bullish 65% WR). Descending: flat bottom + falling top (bearish 65% WR)."

Setup mechanics

1. Identify trend: triangle continuation, NIE counter-trend
2. Draw trendlines: 2 swing points each side
3. Wait pattern complete: 1-3 weeks formation
4. Breakout: close beyond trendline
5. Retest entry: pullback do broken trendline + reversal candle

Confluence

• Trend direction: triangle in trend = top WR
• Volume: declining triangle, expanding breakout
• S/R level: triangle at level = high quality
• Multi-timeframe: pattern visible 4H + 1D
• Reversal candle: confirmation post-breakout

Marek case

TP target

Triangle TP = pattern height projected from breakout. Ascending triangle: distance flat top - lowest bottom = TP target. Marek case 200 pip pattern → 200 pip TP target.

Common mistakes

1. Counter-trend triangle trading
2. Trading pre-completion (1 week pattern weak)
3. NIE retest entry (chase breakout)
4. NIE volume confirmation
5. Symmetrical vs ascending/descending confusion
