A Framework for Classifying Chart Pattern Breakouts

July 14, 2026/1 Comment/in Blog Post/by Aksel Kibar

Extending Peter Brandt's Last Full Day Low Rule: A Framework for Classifying Chart Pattern Breakouts

  Introduction
Peter Brandt is widely recognized for his disciplined approach to classical chart pattern trading. While much attention is given to identifying chart patterns and measuring price objectives, Brandt places equal importance on trade management and risk control. One of the cornerstones of his methodology is the Last Full Day (LFD) Low Rule, which provides an objective reference point for managing risk immediately after a breakout. Beyond its application as a protective stop, the Last Full Day Low can also serve as an effective tool for evaluating the quality of a breakout. By observing how price behaves relative to this level after a breakout, chart patterns can be classified into four distinct categories ranging from high-momentum breakouts to complete failures. This article combines Brandt's original concept with a systematic breakout classification framework.

PINE SCRIPT CODE UPDATED ATR TRAILING STOP-LOSS (LONG/SHORT)

November 27, 2025/0 Comments/in Blog Post/by Aksel Kibar

Several years ago I came across a website as I was searching for coding a trailing stop-loss on MetaStock. A website called Trader Nexus helped me to better understand what a Chandelier Exit is with several great examples and some sort of a plug in DLL specifically designed for MetaStock formula language. Over the years I made some modifications to the ATR based trailing stop-loss.

Recently I spent couple of long hours on Trading View to understand and formulate the similar ATR based trailing stop by using their formula language, pine script. I think I was able to plot the indicator and I'm sharing it here with out members. I plan to integrate more and more Trading View functionalities to Tech Charts reports and website.

If you are interested in giving the platform a try here is your discounted link (Try Trading View with discount )

 

I named it ATR Trailing Stop (Long/Short Selectable) because so much more can be done with it by adding different calculations, such as price projections based on the initial risk etc. I will continue to build on this in the following posts. Let's look at the below box for parameters.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 24, 2025

June 7, 2025/0 Comments/in Blog Post/by Aksel Kibar

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) did a round trip after the sharp sell-off and reached its all-time highs around 124 levels. The fact that the ETF cleared its 200-day average and moved significantly above it can be analyzed long-term positive as pullbacks and consolidations are likely to find support above the 200-day. I will monitor the ETF to see if it will stabilize above the long-term average in preparation of resuming higher. This can be the short breather after the ETF had a strong rebound. The breather if it forms a higher low above the long-term average in the form of a tight consolidation will increase the conviction on bullish setup, a possible H&S pattern with the neckline at 124 levels. 116.85-120 area will act as support during pullback. Outlook is positive for Global Equities.
