Maybe. When I search for patterns I look at a lot of factors, like how the market has been acting for the past few days, past few weeks, whether it's Unemployment week or expiration or whatever and so on. Otherwise, I would come up with perhaps a few dozen similar days and each with a different pattern on the day following it. I tend to have more confidence when I search the data using various inputs and still come up with a few days that are the same as the result of different searches or at least, days that have the same basic pattern such as up in the morning and down at lunch or whatever. The pattern on the 28th of October does match up well with many of the patterns my system is putting out. I guess I just don't want to believe it, that's all. Having the Neural Net position on really skews my objectivity.
