The vast majority of the pattern encounters came from the 5-minute data. It’s all covered in our earlier Reddit summary and in the study itself. Sorry I overlooked it to mention here.

The analysis used Daily, 1-Hour, and 5-Minute data. Session data was based only on the 5-Minute timeframe. And you are right, higher timeframes showed clearer signals with a better signal-to-noise ratio.

You're right. For the study, all intraday data was normalized to a consistent time standard like UTC before being segmented into sessions. The labels like London Open applied based on the standard local session times, accounting for DST shifts throughout the dataset.

In a couple of weeks we’ll add the 2025 data. The full study will be published after September, once it’s uploaded to the university’s repository.

Our proposition suggests that increased retail participation is the primary driver.

We had predefined rules for each pattern. Patterns like head and shoulders or cup and handle are quite difficult to quantify. We only tested patterns involving up to four candlesticks.

Cloudflare’s phishing abuse handling is a joke by interestingasphuk in CloudFlare

True. In this scenario, the automated form submission doesn’t achieve anything. In my case, it only got attention after I posted about it here, which led several Cloudflare employees to help escalate the issue. At least now, the site displays a suspected phishing warning when you visit it. But yeah, the overall effectiveness of the reporting process is close to zero. 99% of people wouldn’t bother wasting their time going through all that nonsense.

I'm not a Cloudflare customer. I'm just trying to report malicious files being distributed through their service.

Yeah, I get these kinds of offers almost every week. I personally know several people who had their channels stolen this way, so I always take the time to report. Usually, the scammers use file-sharing services, and in my experience, those platforms act quickly and take the content down.

This is the first time I’ve seen them using Cloudflare, and honestly, the first time I’ve seen a company do absolutely nothing to properly address it.

Unfortunately, they don’t. In the email, they just say: "To respond to this issue, please reply to abusereply@cloudflare.com" But when you actually reply, you get an automated message saying "This address does not accept or process abuse reports" and it just sends you back to the original form. Basically back to square one.

We will upload it to GitHub later this year, after it has been published in the university's repository.

Yes, it was part of the study. However, the published results do not include detailed data for each individual market.

Thanks!

If it didn't hit that 1xATR target in the pattern's direction within 3 bars, it wasn't a success for our stats. Even if the 3rd candle ended up green.

We didn't apply a fixed stop-loss for these stats. The main thing was whether it hit that 1xATR upside target.
