On the one hand, if you read the manual you mention (which at one
point had been approved by Woodie), it says *repeatedly* to follow the
patterns as described *exactly*, which implies they can be backtested.
But when confronted with the fact that the patterns don't test out,
the official story becomes oh, too many nuances, you need to put in
your time and then you'll be able to trade them, they can't be
backtested, there are additional filters, some of which are
proprietary, etc. My advice is to do your own testing and believe
only that. And if it's really true that the patterns are too complex
to be backtested and there really are too many nuances, then that
means the patterns form the base of some form of discretionary
trading, in which case why not use simple patterns that *do* test out
instead of complex ones that don't?
