Symetrical triangle created after a downtrend followed by a consolidation zone. Re-test done in the upper trendline with a bearish candle. We are in a downtrend, so look for downtrend breakouts. In this trade we go for the retest in the down trendline, not for the breakout. SL in the last high TP2 in a prior resistance zone TP1 is 50% movement to TP2. Once TP1 is reached, we move SL to 40% movement for a 40% gain. We will follow the trade and if momentum is strong reaching TP2, we can extend TP2 looking for a triangle breakout.
Trade closed: stop reached

Trade hit SL. Have to trade patterns once a breakout is made, not trying to follow the moves inside them. Won't do it again
