First, let's review the rules for trading the Monthly Trade Triangles.
Monthly Trade Triangles determine the overall long-term trend and the entry points and exit points.
The last Monthly Trade Triangle issued should be used to identify the overall trend. If the Monthly Trade Triangle is green, you will use it as an entry point into a long position. You would then use the next red Monthly Trade Triangle as your exit point.
Always trade with the trend and use appropriate money management. You can use the Chart Analysis Score in addition to other technical analysis studies to ensure the trend strength is suitable for trading.
