I will mentor you right now and for free: sorry, there are no systems or patterns that consistently work. Nobody makes money doing that. (although a lot of people would like you to believe otherwise because of business reasons). If you want to be successful, find an edge: but based it on something real. Something you can do very well to add value to the markets. Once you find it, go and trade based on that. But just stop looking for systems or patterns. Some of the things you can do are: be willing to take risks from the markets (ie, sell short side), do great fundamental analysis (ie, find the next company), etc. No patterns, systems, setups and definitively, it is not easy. If it was, you would not be able to make much money. That is why working at McDonalds is not very profitable. Because anybody can do that. Don't foul yourself into thinking otherwise. Question anybody's motivation if they tell you otherwise. Are they making any money out of you? Nobody can make money trading a pattern, a system, just putting a software to work on its own. If it was possible, it would be arbitraged quite quickly rendering it unprofitable or with very very thin margins.
Good luck and keep your feet on the ground!
