No, but I have done my own and I ain't putting those results out either! <g> Though it isn't surprising that the results wouldn't be too great - just a plain breakout - which is what a pattern is - isn't a complete trading system. You have to consider many other things like the trends, the stops, the overall market environment etc. P&F results wouldn't be much different from a straight channel breakout. And channel breakouts whipsaw in non-trending markets. You have to look at a complete system that incorporates the P&F patterns to get a real idea of how those do.
