Chart Pattern Recognition is based on a 20-year patterns database. This database is used to determine pattern strength for patterns as they appear. There is no optimization and the pattern signals never change. For each pattern variation, we record accuracy and profitability statistics in a patterns database. From this information, we are able to define strength ratings from 1 to 5. The '1' rating shows ALL patterns while a '5' rating shows the best patterns according to profitability. Each pattern has its own strength rating factors. The result is an automatic ranking system that allows us to only show the BEST patterns. You can see that, at Strength 5, virtually all the patterns are profitable. The pattern strength rating system separates the most profitable patterns. The specific technology used to make these predictions is available for a low monthly fee at: http://www.squeezetrigger.com/services/sw/ot.php
