How To Trade a "Flag Break", NANOBTC Trade ExampleOne of the best and one of my favorite (day) trading patterns and strategies is the flag or triangle break, especially in a bull market or after a huge run or in a clear uptrend.
In this post, I want to briefly cover what a flag or triangle break pattern is and how you can trade this pattern with an example on NANOBTC.
What is the flag break pattern?
A flag or triangle pattern is formed when the price has consolidated in a clear (descending) range and support after it had made a big move/spike.
Here's an example of a (descending) flag/triangle break:
How to trade the flag break and manage your trade?
Wait till the price clearly breaks the drawn flag pattern. Enter when the candle is above the 50 and 12 ema's (or any other longer and shorter timeframe ema you prefer) for confirmation, higher probability and which then serves as a support:
Stop loss
As a stop loss, you can use the 50 ema (or any other longer term ema you prefer but I would go with at least 30 or longer), underneath this level or just under the flag/triangle support line.
Profit Target
As profit target, you can use the initial spike/run as your target for the next runup:
Obviously, you can take profits at any time when you feel comfortable with or want to secure your profits. You don't have to wait for a target to be reached in order to sell.
You can always sell a portion and let the rest ride longer. This will reduce your risk, give you peace of mind and more patience to let your winner(s) run. And that is how you win the game of trading, cut your losses short and let your winners run.

GOLD SETUP - IT COULD GO EITHER WAYGold is on a trend downwards in other words bearish but it has a lot of room upwards as well to mean bullish. With that said, I have drafted how I see it going as you can follow on the chart above.
My believe is it will continue with the trend downwards if it respects the resistance lines. If it breaks them then we go bullish. If it respects them then we continue bearish and we have a lot of room downwards as well.
Remember to trade with good risk management and respect the market with realistic expectations.
As I always say, your management of your expectations may as well be the only key you need to find your success in this industry.
Good luck.
Bitcoin Plus 100% Profit Trade Set-UpXBC is getting ready to break out of a descending triangle. Entry season in the ALT Markets!!
Crude oil's rising wedge...As we can see crude oil is looking for support at trend-line and the 200MA plus 50% fib retracement level.
Saudi arabia's increased output by 10M barrels was the cause for this decrease in price.
Today United states Crude oil Invetories were down 237M barrels vs the forecast and that plus F.E.D decision gave some fuel to the price.
Technically we can see the channel that oil's price is moving,plus the Elliott wave formation until wave 4 and the rising wedge that is forming by the price movement.
I am long until 53-55$ area,a strong resistance exists that will form the wave 5 of Elliott's waves formation.
After this movement the rising wedge must 'break' and crude oil has to decide.
Usually rising wedges are breaking downwards and the news feed behind this movement of the price will propably be the failure of O.P.E.C agreement on crude oil's ouput once again as happened before a lot of times but we will see..
TARGETS
LONG AT 53-55 AREA
AFTER THAT 2 SCENARIOS
1)LONG UNTIL 57-60$AREA
2)PROPABLY SHORT AT 44$(SUPPORT AND 61.8 FIB LEVEL)AREA AND SECOND AREA 40$(STRONG SUPPORT AND 78.6 FIB LEVEL)
HAPPY TRADING GUYS!!
