The chart is /ES hourly with RSI(14) indicator below. Price has been trading in the triangle for the last 2 days. I was scared of the breakout in an opposite direction to my trade, hence I had to get out today. Let us now apply Bulkowski's ideas to this chart.
Using the measure rule, our trading target (base of the triangle ~ 1245 - 1218 = 27) from 1240 should be 1267 on the /ES, which ~ converts to 1270 on SPX i.e., 200 DMA. Breakout volume is light, obviously this being a nightly move. Throwback rate (failed move) is 37% and pullback (to the point of breakout) is 59%. Beware of these things. I used the RSI(14) EMA for confirmation. Usually RSI is not my buy or sell signal, my system signal is a different one and most of the times it results in a terminal move. I haven't gotten a signal yet but mine is late but with high probability, keep in mind. I reckon RSI(14) is good enough in this context. If you read at the apex of the triangle, it is converging at 3 AM ET which is the opening time of European markets. Humdinger, isn't it?
