  3. A valid symmetrical triangle breakout should occur between 1/2 to 3/4 from the Apex. The triangle breakout you show is too near to the Apex and thus it is not a valid triangle

  4. Now that it has been broken down, it obviously has been invalidated. I am not a hind sight trader and I post as patterns look visible to me. There are always chances of fake breakouts.

  5. bulleye, you are missing the point. It wasn't a matter of "fake breakout" but the so called "triangle" you have identified is not a valid chart pattern to begin with. A valid triangle chart pattern should NOT have prices traded so close to the apex and still being considered as a triangle.

  6. Your point is noted. But I believe patterns are rarely perfect. Either they work or they dont. Just my view. Not everyone will agree.
