Chip, I think that even if you pick stocks at random someone who knows when to sell would make a killing especially with these uptrending markets we got for years. IMHO it is the difficult thing when you test a pattern, is it successful because of the pattern, the exit strategy or the trending market? Therefore I tend to ask a pattern to be successful enough without too much optimization before considering going forward. The balance is difficult to find. Coming back to the wiggle I think I will drop the x day low requirement but will make the scan compute for each wiggle the maximum x for which it is a x day low. The volume requirement was mine as I think that a valid pattern should be also valid on large cap for which data is more reliable (Better to avoid stocks with non significant spike with anemic volume for a preliminary test).
