The falling and rising wedge patterns occur frequently and play out as expected more often than not. However, you should avoid trading any and every wedge pattern that you see on the chart. It is best to make sure there is context for the pattern to play out as expected.
The wedge patterns have a higher probability when combined with Supply and Demand.
Having a falling wedge terminate at a demand zone or a rising wedge terminate at a supply zone is a strong confluence.

Rising wedge terminating at a supply zone
Don't expect the wedge pattern, or any pattern for that matter, to be picture perfect like shown on a chart pattern cheat sheet. On the charts, the pattern can look messy and you will have some wicks that violate the trendlines or it may not have equal touches on both trendlines.
Tip: Use the line chart to make these pattern easier to see
You can also apply this concept to bullish and bearish flag patterns.

An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
