disciple33- read my comments from before - yes the gap made it more difficult, however here's the way to look at it for now and in the future on these type of patterns going forward.

1. one could have bought the gap up this morning, I know it's hard to buy the gap psychologically, however patterns like these wedges do many times resolve with a gap up out of the pattern i.e. gap over the downtrend line.  So one could have bought the gap up and monitored the gap with a 15 min gap rule for a stop i.e. you can search the blog for 15 min gap rule to read up on it, but again I understand that's hard to do for most people

2. One could have started scaling into it yesterday, that's what I did, I was fine scaling into a partial position with a stop then adding to it later.  I was not here for the 1st hr of the day, thus I would not able to add on the morning gap, and I didn't have a full position, I bought only 1/3 position yesterday while TLT was inside the wedge.

3. Now that symmetry has been met - we can see what happens next i.e. if symmetry is broken we can buy the next higher low or watch for a RS of an inverse H&S
