1	# Triangle Pattern Trading
2
3	Triangles describe converging swing boundaries. Treat breakout direction as unknown until price closes beyond a boundary.
4
5	## Pattern Structure
6
7	### Ascending Triangle (Bullish Bias)
8	- Flat horizontal resistance + rising lows — bullish bias is a hypothesis
9
10	### Descending Triangle (Bearish Bias)
11	- Flat horizontal support + lower highs — bearish bias is a hypothesis
12
13	### Symmetrical Triangle (Neutral)
14	- Lower highs + higher lows, converging — condition results on trend rather than assuming direction
15
16	## Workflow
17
18	### 1. Get Swing Point Data
19
20	Identify at least 2 swing highs and 2 swing lows (4+ total touch points):
21
22	```
23	get_candles_around_date(symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>, date=<swing_date>)
24	```
25
26	### 2. Draw Converging Trendlines (2 parallel calls)
27
28	```
29	# Upper trendline (connecting swing highs)
30	draw_chart_analysis(action="create", drawing={
31	"type": "trend",
32	"points": [
33	{"time": <high1_time>, "price": <high1_price>},
34	{"time": <high2_time>, "price": <high2_price>}
35	],
36	"options": {"text": "Triangle R"}
37	})
38
39	# Lower trendline (connecting swing lows)
40	draw_chart_analysis(action="create", drawing={
41	"type": "trend",
42	"points": [
43	{"time": <low1_time>, "price": <low1_price>},
44	{"time": <low2_time>, "price": <low2_price>}
45	],
46	"options": {"text": "Triangle S"}
47	})
48	```
49
50	For ascending: upper line is flat (`resistance` type instead of `trend`). For descending: lower line is flat (`support` type).
51
52	### 3. Confirm and Enter
53
54	Check volume declining during formation via `get_indicators(indicator_code="mfi", symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>)`.
55
56	Standard: Enter on break + candle close outside triangle with volume spike. Stop inside triangle on opposite side.
57	Preferred: Wait for breakout, then retest of broken trendline. Enter on rejection.
58	Target: Triangle height at widest point, projected from breakout.
59
60	\| Phase \| Expected Volume \|
61	\|-------\|----------------\|
62	\| Formation \| Declining \|
63	\| Breakout \| Spike \|
64	\| Continuation \| Sustained \|
65
66	## Evidence and Validation
67
68	- Treat the setup as a testable hypothesis, not a prediction. Define thresholds, entry, invalidation, and exit before evaluating outcomes.
69	- Calibrate on the same instrument, venue, session, and timeframe. Use closed candles and a held-out or walk-forward sample; record every variant tried.
70	- Include spread, fees, slippage, borrow or funding, partial fills, and latency. Reject the setup when net expectancy is not positive or depends on one narrow parameter.
71	- Return observed inputs, missing data, cost assumptions, entry, invalidation, exit, and a valid, watch, or no-trade status.
72	- Research basis: [Lo, Mamaysky & Wang](https://www.nber.org/papers/w7613) supports systematic pattern recognition; direction, breakout buffer, and target rules still require out-of-sample calibration.
73
74	## Key Rules
75	- Minimum 4 touch points (2 per trendline) to validate
76	- NEVER enter on a wick breakout alone — wait for candle close outside
77	- If using trend direction or apex timing as filters, freeze their definitions and verify their incremental net expectancy
78	- Report width in ATR units and breakout location as a fraction of time-to-apex; do not infer strength from width alone
79
80	## Related Skills
81	- wedge-patterns — Similar converging lines, both slope same direction
82	- flag-pennant — Pennants are small symmetrical triangles
