Pattern library
Ten chart patterns, explained and measured
Each guide covers what the pattern is, the market psychology that drives it, how the MKTDATA engine detects it on live 5-minute charts — and, uniquely, its measured win rate from every breakout signal the scanner has tracked. No cherry-picked examples; every signal is counted.

Win rate = wins ÷ (wins + losses) across all tracked breakout signals; win at +0.75% in the pattern's direction, loss at −0.75% against, within 3 hours on 5-minute closes. Full methodology →
