In our last lesson we learned how to spot the three different types of triangles on a chart, the ascending triangle, the descending triangle, and the symmetrical triangle. In this lesson we are going to look at the strategies for trading these patterns complete with entry and exit points.

As we learned in the last lesson, the direction in which the market breaks out of the triangle, and whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend determines whether the pattern is a continuation or a reversal pattern and therefore whether traders look to go long or short.

As with the other patterns we have recently learned about, when traders spot an ascending triangle, they will look to trade the break of the upper resistance line. The target is then derived by measuring the distance between the starting high point of the ascending triangle with the starting low point of the triangle, which is then projected upward from the breakpoint. The stop is then placed just below the most recent trough of the pattern.
