Readers, I post on X separate from my trading business. I don't think of doing a trade and X even within the same minute of mind time. I love talking and writing about the commodity futures business and being a self-funded career trader to satisfy my desire to write about something I love. I've always been a writer. I graduated in Journalism. I trade for real. I write for the love of talking grandly about futures trading every chance I get.

As usual, thanks, Aksel. I use logarithmic charting for things like the crypto market or very long-term stock market. In futures, I use log scale to measure downside targets, but numeric scale to measure upside targets.

As momentum/breakout traders we need to be indifferent on the possible direction of the price action. We need as much as possible uninterrupted directional movement. Choppy markets are where the breakout strategy struggles. This rectangle could have broken on the upside, the way to take advantage of the directional move would have been the same.

We don't know in advance if the breakout will succeed or fail. This is making peace with uncertainty. I know many would like to have some kind of certainty in the business of trading. It doesn't exist. Confirm the breakout, place the stop below the pattern boundary, place at the market sell order at the price target (incase a sharp move takes place to the target) and avoid overriding these decisions (unless dictated by predetermined rules).

I don't like how the Nasdaq Comp sliced through its 200-day today like it wasn't even there. As PTJ says, nothing good happens below the 200-day. As always, manage risk and know your timeframe.

Excellent analysis as usual. Thanks Aksel. This confirms what my experience has been - that patterns 8 to16 weeks have the best reliability
Over the years my chart pattern selection has become short-term. Interestingly enough, the success for these chart patterns reaching their objective is higher in shorter term duration. 2-3 months seems to be the highest.
