Yours is arbitrary because it uses all candle wicks but one for the trendline. Either you do it by closes, or you do it by high/lows, not both.
Actually, not sure if that's a 'hard rule' of trendlines.
Anyway, the triangle looks fine to me. Broke out upwards. Don't know what porcupine's problem is with it... I think he just doubts that TA could ever dominate fundamentals, news, sentiment, etc.
I have no problem. You can have fun with the TA. I admit that it is very tempting because it is much easier than FA. But I just don't see a causal realtionship between this chart analysis and the will of people to buy or sell.
I wanted to draw the same line and it seems, that I fucked up the last one. Here is the "real" triangle. Let's see, what happens.
