don't worry, something's about to happen this time.
haha great pic, i had a good laugh
as for the test, i realize that it was pretty unscientific of me to 'readjust' the breakout time after the first call -- what i ought to have done was provide error bars for the time in the first place -- which inspired me to measure triangles with more statistical rigor. geometric measurements clearly are not enough. what properties tend to lead to successful breakouts? what properties tend to lead to unsuccessful breakouts? and what properties lead to no breakouts at all, and are simply other patterns or just noise masquerading as triangles?
as for the one i was looking at last night,
the 'breakout attempt' occurred at around 5:00 am EST, so, as i calculated before, about
100%200% error. however, it failed -- i suspect because of low volume.
however, the triangle itself is still very robust, and the price did
not begin trending sideways until after 5 am. unfortunately, being able to identify triangles is useless until i learn how to measure them more precisely
regardless, i appreciate the constructive criticism
hopefully i will return with an improved model. i have some work to do.
