Tips:
- 45 Degree Trendlines are typically most reliable
- 2 Touches signals Potential Trendline, 3rd Touch Validates
- Extend only the Support and Resistance Trendlines that succeed in Supporting or Resisting and discard the unsuccessful ones
- To Maximize Gains and Limit Risks, stay unbiased and utilize Data, Not Emotion
- Statistics show that Triangles fail to deliver the expected result 1/3 of the time. If expected result is delivered, failure rate drops to 2%.

The X amount beyond the break and Y amount of days closed outside of the True or False formula is dependant upon the market and asset you are trading, it's not one size fits all!

Backtest the assets you trade and see what percentages yield the successful breaks!
