Anatomy of Chart Patterns: Introduction

When I started learning chart patterns, the first few questions I asked myself were, why do chart patterns work? Is it because the book said so, then every body follows the book and makes it a self fulfilling prophesy? Or is it just a statistical observation made by some one that a particular pattern of price moves gives clues for the next price move? Or is there some thing not-so-obvious behind the scenes? Or just random? I guess a lot of us might have the same questions, may be some answered and some unanswered.

This is one of my attempts to find my answers. So, lets lay down the rules and what you can expect from the "Anatomy of Chart Patterns" series.

No copy-paste from books, I will write what my experience taught me and I believe about the pattern
Postmortem on failed patterns
Points that helped for a pattern to be successful

Hope you will find this useful in your journey of learning patterns
