This page scores ascending triangle chart patterns. Patterns with scores above 0 show gains averaging 50% (upward breakouts) or declines averages 23% (downward breakouts). Scores below 0 show gains of 21% and declines of 12%. High scores do not guarantee good performance, nor does a low score mean you found a stinker.
