Hey guys, I'm pretty new to TA, but if I'm not mistaken it works best on high volume coins. I tried it on bitshares just now because it was the highest.
If I'm not mistaken, because it broke out of my triangle like it did, then it should keep going up, right? Or is my triangle wrong?

Readjust target. It's not exact.
>>2364520
dont.

But you're not supposed to use the wicks I thought. That's where the market rejected the price. Also I made the lines before that last candle went up.

That is only a test of the tend.
I would buy on confirmation of the up trend with a break here.

Haha, looks like it's breaking out after all!

So which book did you read for this knowledge? Looking to pick up at a TA book
You should use the extremes of the wicks. If you bought or sold in a wick and you are wrong, you won't care where the body of the candle is.
Diagonal lines are not very reliable. You will often have to redraw them. They do let you know when a downtrend or uptrend is ending.
Look at extremes, the blue horizontal lines in the picture. If the price starts going below the lower blue line, everyone who bought in the past 6 hours will be losing money and will start to sell. On the other hand if it starts breaking above the upper blue and to a lesser extent the green line, there's not going to be a lot of sellers since everyone is starting to make money.
Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Futures or Financial Markets is a great book.
You can get the futures one for about $6. If you read the introduction of the financial markets book on amazon, it will tell you the differences between the 2 books.
