 | Over what time period do you want to the triangle to form? 
 Do you want to find them before or after the break out or break down?

	You may wish to review the following for information on pattern recognition in TC2000 (the topics mentioning flags, pennants, triangle and wedge patterns will be most on target):

	That said, I personally do not think complex pattern recognition is practical in TC2000 using formulas and Scans. They are at the very least beyond my abilities to help you create without a specific unambiguous objective definition of what you are attempting to identify (it can't be an I know it when I see it type of definition or be based entirely on an image). This is true of pattern recognition in general with the exception of fixed size candlestick patterns (which are fairly straightforward as long as the pattern is well defined):
