In this idea, we have a deep-crab pattern and bat-pattern showing us that price should reverse from a bottom between 12.47 - 9.94. This is a discount of approximately 75% from the high. I expect price to reverse right at 11.27, to form a bottoming pattern. This bottom should arrive somewhere around the beginning of the year 2026. I would set the stop-loss for 3%; however, I'd consider averaging into a position on this trade, if price goes below the stop (I don't expect it to). I would sell my position at the "B point" of the harmonic pattern, between 25.97 - 26.85. After price has reached the half-way point between entry and exit, I would set stop-loss runners to trail price by the 'Average True Range' of monthly and weekly timeframes. The target nets 130% (Risk-to-Reward of 43.21). Adding for the dividend (I would expect to hold this for at least one year), one would profit approximately 131.6% of their original investment.
Plugging in the probability for success of a deep-crab pattern and the R:R values into our Kelly Criterion betting calculator for an account of $1000, we get;

GFF trade ideas
$GFF. One to watch for continuationThe upper purple trend line has been resistance for a few years. It closed on Friday at the upper trend line. This stock would be one to watch to see if it actually can break thru this time. I would wait for 2 days for confirmation as in the past there have been 1 day pops above. This one has a float 46M shares and 2.89% short This company makes home and building products such as closet organizers and garage storage products, as well as lawn products
GFF Triple Tops (bearish)I found this pattern at tickeron website with the following data:
STATUS = Confirmed
CURRENT CONFIDENCE = 70%
TARGET (EXIT) PRICE = 18.20 USD
BREAKOUT (ENTRY) PRICE = 19.01 USD
DISTANCE TO TARGET PRICE = 1.02%
EMERGED ON = Sep 18, 08:00 AM (EDT)
CONFIRMED ON = Sep 21, 09:36 AM (EDT)
WITH CONFIDENCE LEVEL = 75%
The Triple Tops pattern appears when there are three distinct minor Highs (1, 3, 5) at about the same price level. The security is testing the upper resistance level (horizontal line formed by (1, 3, 5), but the price ultimately declines as buyers give up.
This type of formation potentially happens when investors can not break the resistance price. There is a distinct possibility that market participants will sell out, and the price can move down with big volumes (leading up to the breakout).
Trade idea
If the price breaks out from the bottom pattern boundary, day traders and swing traders should trade with the DOWN trend. Consider selling the security short or buying a put option at a downward breakout price level. To identify an exit, calculate the target price by subtracting the pattern height from the breakout level. The pattern’s height is the highest high minus the lowest low, or the bottom resistance within the pattern. When trading, wait for the confirmation move, which is when the price falls below the breakout level.
To limit potential loss when price suddenly goes in the wrong direction, consider placing a stop order to buy back a short position or sell a put option at or above the breakout price.
GFF - Descending triangle breakdown short from $24 to $21.20GFF is in the weak Realestate sector, which is rolling over. It seems running within a channel or a descending triangle, and seems heading down. Overall it looks a decent short technically.
