The "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" by Thomas N. Bulkowski lists 53 separate Chart Patterns and 10 Event Patterns.
Light Reading at 1058 pages, this reference book, provides the specifics in relation to each of the 63 patterns:
- Appearance
- Reversal or Continuation
- Performance rank in both a Bull and Bear market
- Break-even failure rate
- Average rise %
- Change after trend ends %
- Volume trend
- Throwbacks
- The success rate of achieving price target
- Surprising findings
That is a significantly intense amount of data to retain, and for many, completely unnecessary.
We have chosen to focus on those patterns that we have personally found to be most successful and they can all fall into the following categories:
- Channels
- Double/Triple Bottom/Top
- Flags
- Head n Shoulder
- Pennants
- Triangles
- Wedges
Information on each specific chart pattern can be found in the associated Forum Channels. The Forum is an amazing resource, we urge all CryptoMates members to actively participate in the Forum as this is where the true magic of this community lies.
