    H&S tops: Failure rate 7%, Average decline 23%, most likely 15% (though I use pattern height measurement. Percentage meeting price target 63%

    Matt --

    Based on those stats you can take a profit 93% of the time -- with a good portion of those profits at least 15% -- I didn't think H&S tops were that reliable (93%) -- what do you think?

    hard to say; his statistics

    hard to say; his statistics are based on perfect patterns, the trouble is many of us are 'loose' in our definition of H&S patterns and many other patterns for that matter.
