Curtis Arnold - PPS Trading System:

Ascending triangle with trend:
------------------------------
Up: 43.2% profitable
Dn: 20% profitable

Descending triangle in downtrend:
-------------------------------
Continuation: 18% profitable
Reversal: 52% profitable

Also some info on rising wedges I posted earlier to another list ... this
pattern is second in profitability only to double tops:

Given the interest in the rising wedges which have been appearing recently
on hourly and daily charts, I thought it might be of interest to relay some
info from Curtis Arnold's PPS where he further develops the work of Edwards
& Magee and cites some statistics.

"The rising wedge is a 5 point pattern. In one formed during an uptrend,
there are two points on the demand line [lower] and three points on the
supply line [upper]."

"Of this pattern, Edwards and Magee said: there is no evident barrier of
supply to be vaulted but a gradual petering out of investment interest.
Prices advance but each new wave of interest is feebler than that last.
Finally demand fails entirely and the trend reverses."

"There are two types of rising wedges. One type develops as a topping
pattern after a previous uptrend; the second type starts at the bottom of a
preceding downtrend."

"rising wedges are too profitable to ignore. Those that occur after an
uptrend are nearly twice as profitable  as those that occur within a
downtrend. If you have studied the Elliott Eave Theory, the former are what
Elliott termed "diagonal fifth waves." ... One final point to remember: The
pattern is only likely to reverse a minor trend. If you are hoping for a
major move, you must have more to go on."

Finally, he cites RW in uptrend as 100% profitable with a "small sample
size; not statistically significant" and in downtrend as 37.5% profitable
with no sample size disclaimer.
