Not every pattern will bring money but identifying those more likely and consistently trading them can make a huge the difference. This is an example on how the Breakout Pivotal Bars can come in handy.
I play with lots of indicators/patterns and have fun with it. When forming an opinion I will often also flip a coin 3 times. Will always be 2-1 or 3-0 heads up tails down. :-) Goes to 2 lines of thought 1. Technical analysis ultimately comes down to all of the information is in today's price and 2. Any particular next bar will do it own thing. Of course guess that is why I trade options, the way I do it the probabilities are more important than the chart.
