Triangle patterns form as the price consolidates between converging trendlines. An ascending triangle indicates bullish pressure, while a descending triangle suggests bearish pressure. A breakout from these triangles often leads to a large price move that can be traded.

Identify converging trendlines to form the triangle.
​

An Ascending Triangle is formed from a horizontal top and ascending bottom connecting the higher lower. This is critical and differentiates the ascending triangle from the bearish rising wedge pattern

Observe the narrowing price range as the triangle forms. As the price gets closer to the right end of the triangle, the stock is more likely to breakout.

BigShort lets you see in advance of the breakout if institutions are participating give you maximum confidence in your entry.

Use increasing Net Options Flow to identify an increase in bullish options buying. Note the increase in large blue upward-pointing triangles, which indicates call buying (bullish) as well as the rising green line

Use Smartflow to notice the change institutional bullishness before the breakout. Note the change from red/pink (bearish) institutional selling to green/dark green (bullish). Note the change in the green line from downward sloping to upward.

In this case, bullish net option flow and smart money buying towards the end of the ascending triangle chart pattern both confirm the likelihood of a price breakout, setting up your clean, confident trade.

If Dark Pools (red oval, below) are present below the breakout, consider staying in the trade until the indicators begin to flip. The Dark Pools signify off market trades below the price and are strong bullish signals when in groups or when they are large.

BigShort enables you to make confident exits and results in making more profit from trading triangle patterns.

Reverse the above signals and directions to trade a descending triangle (bearish) pattern.

Entry Point: Enter as soon as the price breaks out of the triangle, confirmed by Momo, SF, and NOF signals.
​

Stop-Loss Placement: Place your stop-loss just inside the triangle to manage risk.
​

Profit Target: Project your initial target by measuring the triangle’s height, but let the institutional activity and market sentiment visible in BigShort keep you in the trade even longer if big money is supporting it.

BigShort’s tools validate triangle breakouts by showing institutional confirmation through DarkPools, Momo, SmartFlow, and NOF. This integrated approach builds your confidence and trading consistency. Knowing when to make your entries and exits makes trading a successful triangle more profitable.
