Broadening Right-Angled Ascending Chart Example

The chart above of Microsoft (MSFT) illustrates a broadening right-angled ascending pattern where prices enter from above (occurs only a third of the time) and exits below (occurs two-thirds of the time). Using the typical height of pattern minus breakout price would have resulted in a failed trade; however using Bulkowski's height of pattern multiplied by 32% would have resulted in a profitable trade.
