I got some really good feedback on the posting of the head and shoulders patterns:

About the Head & Shoulders Patterns;

I have 3 comments;

1) Should you set the program to look for patterns where the Head peak is
*higher* than the 2 shoulders ? I see some where the head is lower.
That may give more results are mostly invalid.

2) Can you set the minimum time perioid to say, at least 15 days ?
This pattern does not seem to work over the short term.

3) Can you set the minimum price to say, $10 ?
Again, there is no point selling short lower priced stocks in a bearish
pattern as they don’t have far to fall.

All this would reduce the number of results but improve the quality of the results.

regards,
Wimal

I agree with the 1st point; however, if you take a look at the origins of this technique -> Oversimplified Method for Finding Patterns in Stock Charts - you can see that it is a really simple and brittle example of how to find patterns - thus Oversimplified. I did go back and make some adjustments and patterns for today have been tweaked based on the first suggestion.

The second and third suggestions I am not going to implement. Understand why some people may be interested in only seeing stocks over $10, but others may only be interested in sub-$10 stocks. And the same with the 15 day filter.

Now, if you take a look at the results for today, it looks like the adjustments I made were not so helpful. Perhaps it is time to take a look at pattern detection again - I had intended to, but got working on other projects.

Thanks Wimal for the excellent feedback!

People have had a certain fascination about gold for as long as humans have walked the earth. There are metals that are more expensive or more useful (albeit, gold is pretty darn useful in many ways), but gold is, well, the “gold standard.” See - it has even invaded our vocabulary. In this world of computerized bank accounts, gold an additional appeal to the economic luddite in all of us. If everything was to go to hell, gold is certainly going to remain as a way to do trade and commerce. Most recently, with geopolitical uncertainty and rising prices of oil - gold has seen some incredible price movements - both up and down. What is also interesting about commodity type trading - things like corn, wheat, metals, oil - is you have to put the stuff somewhere. Where is this stuff kept?

The commodities markets have pretty much standardized this process, but take a look at one way this is handled in the gold market. Buyers can directly purchase gold bullion, which is then stored in very safe locations, such as a Brinks vaults. It is interesting to note that some dealers, like BullionVault.com have vaults in multiple locations, such as New York, London and Zurich. Interesting, because when I think of gold, I automatically think of Zurich.

Pay Per Post really seems to be doing a good job. The buzz on the street is that advertisers are happy and I would have to say a lot of bloggers are happy with the process and payments as well. One nice aspect of PPP is their blog - a well written blog with interesting news about PPP. But that isn’t the great part, the coolest “feature” of the PPP blog is the featured blogger posts that they make. They call out - recognize - identify - bloggers that are going above and beyond. That is a nice way to give back to the blogger community! So, not only does PPP advertise on blogs, but they also contribute to making examples of high quality blogs. Huh, how curious - I would almost say this is the opposite of what some unnamed contextual advertising systems end up doing!
