Simple Symmetrical Triangle Strategy (6 points)

Overview

This strategy identifies triangle patterns formed by a series of key high and low price points. A trade is triggered when the price breaks out from the pattern's final confirmation points: a buy signal occurs on a close above the last high point, and a sell signal on a close below the last low point. To ensure relevance, any pattern that doesn't break out within 10 bars is automatically discarded.

This helps filter out patterns that lose momentum and focuses only on the most imminent breakouts.

How It Works

1. Pattern Detection: The script continuously scans for a sequence of three declining highs (points H1, H2, H3) and three rising lows (points L1, L2, L3) to form a triangle.
2. Entry Logic: The logic is straightforward and based on breaking the last confirmed pivot:
* Long Entry: A buy order is executed if the price closes above the level of the last high (H3).
* Short Entry: A sell order is executed if the price closes below the level of the last low (L3).
3. Pattern Expiration: A triangle only remains "active" for 10 bars after its formation. If a breakout doesn't occur within this window, the pattern is removed from analysis, avoiding trades on prolonged, unresolved consolidations.

Key Features

* Automatic Detection: Identifies and draws triangles for you.
* Simple Breakout Logic: Easy to understand, trades by following the price action.
* Time Filter: Its main advantage is discarding patterns that do not resolve quickly.
* Customizable: You can adjust the sensitivity of the pivot detection in the settings.
