EUR/CAD — Quick Daily Bullish Flag

Less than a month has passed since my last reported bullish flag (on CAD/JPY @ H4). That time, it failed to come into play as the weekend gap had positioned the price significantly below the flag’s corridor. This time, the pattern is displayed in daily EUR/CAD chart and should resist weekend gaps more robustly. The pattern’s flagpole starts on the trading session of April 4 and lasts only two days, which is perfectly fine for a bullish flag pattern. The flag part consists of only 6 days, which can be considered as insufficient by some conservative chartists.
You can see the pole and the flag pattern marked with the yellow dash line on the chart screenshot below. The entry (cyan line) is positioned at 10% of the flagpole’s length above the highest point. The profit target (green line) is positioned at 100% of the flagpole’s length from that point. Only upward breakout will be used as a trading signal with this bullish flag. I will set my stop-loss to the low of the breakout bar or to the low of the previous bar if the breakout bar is located mostly outside the pattern.
