I got long this fine beauty of a chart today at $104.66. Hasn’t done much for me in the past few hours, but the chart pattern and setup is undeniable and one that I am constantly on the prowl for. 

The box breakout is one of my favorite patterns…particularly when it merges with an ascending triangle. Heck it is probably my favorite pattern because it allows me to manage risk in such a systematic way, keeping it small while the upside can be just unbelievable.

A successful breakout on a stock like the one below will cover for a myriad of bad trades. That’s why you have to take these when they come. 

Here’s the trade setup in The J.M. Smucker Co (SJM):
