Bulkowski on Testing Short Patterns

Initial release: 9/3/24.

Small Pattern Testing Methodology

Instead of repeating the testing methodology for every small chart pattern I test, I created this page. Here I outline the rules I followed.

The 20% rule I used because it's unrealistic to expect a large gain from a small pattern. For example, with the shark-32 pattern, I found a case where the predicted rise was more than 100%. The 20% value seemed reasonable as a maximum target.
