I do not prefer any jewelery on my charts

yes I agree that they can be helpful in boosting the confidence. Most of those indicators are just indication of previous price action and when trend is changing most of them lack until it has already changed.
What you "can" do is wait until the pattern is confirmed like many do... here is how they play... taking example of a completed wave on a 4Hr chart of Gold
Once the pattern looks good wait for it to pull back up and get back inside the "wedge"
Take example of Yellow Horizontal line and once a successful bar close inside the "wedge" you take a position and Keep the recent low as your Stop loss.. in this case is the red Horizontal line.
Another safe entry is the green horizontal line which is the "3rd" point and any bar closing above "3rd" point is the safe entry.. while some wait even after and let the price move out of wedge on the opposite direction for the safest position but as much as you try to go safe your risk on the flip side increases as price can once again go back and try to touch the safezone line and if in case it break the safe zone this time it will be a big stop loss.
Was I clear enough? I guess I was
