automated PF chart trading

I saw another thread on PF charting and started thinking about implementing automated trading using PF charts, i.e., discretizing prices based on box size, categorizing upswing and downswing based on 3 box reversals, detecting typical patterns and using the charts to set entries and stops -- may be old news to some. Has anybody done it and has it been profitable? Thanks.
