Guidelines to trade by using Rectangles


In a rectangle, price moves horizontally between overhead



resistance and underlying support



Breakout



A breakout occurs when price closes outside the boundary of a chart pattern.





Touches There should be at least two touches of each trend line.





Trend lengths



A short-term trend lasts up to three months. An intermediate term



or secondary trend lasts between three and six months. A long-term trend or primary trend lasts longer than six months





Tops have price trending into a chart pattern from the bottom,



and bottoms have price trending into a chart pattern from the top





The price velocity leading to and exiting from a chart pattern are often similar even if the direction is reversed.





Undershoot or overshoot



Both undershoot and overshoot occur before a chart pattern begins. Undershoot happens when price briefly dips below



the entrance of a chart pattern. Overshoot happens when price briefly soars above it.





A rectangle forms because



traders want to own the stock at two fixed prices, one low and one



high, setting limits (for a time) on how far price moves.





Prices trend up to the formation and then



oscillate between two horizontal trend lines



before breaking out upward.





Measure rule



Measure the height of the rectangle from trend line to trend line.



For upward breakouts, add the height to the top trend line; for



downward breakouts, subtract it from the bottom trend line. The



result is the minimum expected move. For a maximum price



target, measure the length of the rectangle and extend it vertically



above the top trend line (for upward breakouts) or below the



bottom one (downward breakouts). The price becomes the



maximum expected move.





Wait before place forex trading signals for breakout Since you cannot be sure in which direction a rectangle will break



out, wait for prices to close outside the trend line before fx trading



in the direction of the breakout.





Tall rectangle scalp If the rectangle is tall enough, sell or sell short near the top trend



line and buy or cover near the bottom one.







Watch for rectangles forming as the corrective phase of a



measured move up formation and adjust the target price



accordingly. Rectangle reversals sometimes appear as flat top



formations.

I only use reactangle to detect breakout and indicate high and low prices for resistance and suuport, this tool is very good because it can be a reference in trading, especially using a trading chart system without indicators. thank you

The rectangle is a pattern that often occurs in slow-moving or small markets and it can be used to wait for a breakout and take an entry. But the strategy you give should be better if it is accompanied by pictures and with neat writing.

good guidelines and I also often observe rectangle patterns but have never applied it to real trading, if you just see traders doing analysis with rectangles, it is often

rectangle is an analysis strategy using a conical boundary pattern. in the pattern there will be price movements that just go up and down within the pattern and eventually breakout.

good guidelines and hopefully a lot of help for traders who want to learn to use these patterns. but keep in mind that the pattern must be really mastered and valid in determining price movement signals.

rectangle is always closely related to breakout, therefore a trader must know the rules for using this pattern in order to use it more accurately.

Trading using a rectangle pattern is quite common, but in my opinion, this pattern is only a tool where prices can still make mistakes and do not match the pattern.

Rectangle patterns are usually used in the same way as other pop-market patterns so there are certain rules for entry and placing of exits (TP and SL).

in my opinion this way will be able to work optimally if we combine it with the support and resistance area
