Tom Bulkowski (www.ThePatternSite.com)is a trader and frequent contributor of articles to SFO Magazine and Stocks & Commodities Magazine. He's also written several popular books including Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns, Getting Started in Chart Patterns, and Trading Classic Chart Patterns. Here we talk about what criteria he uses to guage the success of a chart pattern, what time frames he uses to look for these patterns, and why he never shorts stocks. As much as Tom is an expert in technical patterns, he doesn't discount fundamentals and talks here about how he uses news events to make even more money on chart-driven trades.
