Most patterns can not be scanned for or tested with the tools available to
the trader. If you restrict yourself to a few stocks, as some here seem to
do, you can step back to pre-computer days and read patterns.  But try that
with 100, 1000, 10,000 stocks. In pre-computer days, We used weekly data, 10
week ma, patterns, rarely using indicators. Heck we didn't have data except
hand inputs, there wasn't a hand calculator until the 1970s. I remember
buying a Bomar for $300 with the power of a $3 one today. That replaced the
slide rule.

I know all the classic patterns, I don't trade them.
