The bigger one was a Falling Wedge & the smaller one was a Reverse Cup & Handle (Which I believed I made up, in case you go Google and not find it :P)
The price broke up and headed straight to the top of the wedge which is a decent target for the pattern. 7 >21 >200
Target hit at 16,333
Now this trade was a tough one because even though it hit the target, we held on FAR too long. The daily costs do add up as well as the opportunity cost of holding. even though profits were realised, these are the kinds of things we think about as traders.
