A good introductory book by Bulkowski.
Having read other books like the "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns", which is way more complete, it makes this book a bit less useful.
I didn't find too useful the scores when taking into consideration a bull/bear trap/horizontal consolidation, some of those metrics are redundant.
Also, the failure rate could be a bit more clear for real-life trading. Apart from fees, we can't know exactly risk/reward ratios to know if a specific trade/pattern is worth or not.

prezinta cateva paternuri clasice, cum ar fi double top, double bottom, triangles, triple top, suport , rezistenta.. si prezinta exemple, are un sistem de scoruri, in functie de volumul la breakout, posibilitatea unui pullback, sau trow back, a unui bull sau bear trap, small-mediul-large cap, yearly hight, inaltimea paternului etc...
pare a fi interesant de aplicat sistemul de scoruri.. am pastrat o in kindle ca sa o pot consulta la nevoie
