About Chart Pattern Statistics
Understanding chart pattern statistics is essential for any serious technical trader. Win rates, reliability scores, and average move data help you prioritize which patterns to trade and which to filter out. Not all patterns are created equal — some deliver consistent results across market conditions, while others only perform well in specific environments.
The statistics on this page are derived from historical backtesting across stocks, forex, and crypto markets. Win rates represent the percentage of times a pattern produced a profitable trade when proper entry, stop-loss, and confirmation rules were followed. Keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results, and pattern reliability can vary depending on the asset, timeframe, and market conditions.
Patterns with higher reliability scores tend to produce clearer signals and fewer false positives. However, even high-reliability patterns should be combined with additional confluence factors such as support/resistance levels, volume confirmation, and indicator alignment. The best traders use these statistics as a starting point for building a probability-based trading approach.
