This is an alphabetical listing of event patterns that shows the performance rank of each
event pattern by its average rise or decline. Ties are allowed. A rank of 1 means the event pattern shows the highest
average rise or decline after the breakout. N/A in the list below means the event pattern uses a different
method to gauge performance than the other event patterns (usually the measure from the breakout to the swing high or
swing low, not to the highest high or lowest low before a trend change). Thus, a performance comparison would be
unfair and meaningless. For more information see the book
Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns, Second Edition and the following...
