Abstract

We match a template depicting a "bull flag" 60-day price behavior to closing prices of the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index to detect buying opportunities at a 20 trading day horizon. The results of the experiment indicate that the technique is capable of achieving results which are superior to those attained by random choice. Statistical results are significant. The paper constitutes evidence that the stock markets are non efficient.
