I've just back tested a couple of simple patterns '3 falling peaks' and '3 rising valleys'. The names are kind of self explanatory. Thomas Bulkowski tested them on 500 stocks, each over a period of 5 years, and found them both to be profitable. Here are the results of my back-test of these pattern with futures:

Market: E-Mini S&P 500
----------------------
Set up: Short on b/o of 2nd new low in trend on Thursdays and Fridays, 1st/3rd week of month.
Long on b/o of 2nd new high in trend, if it has a tail on Thursdays in 1st/2nd/3rd week of month.
Longs require a rising 600sma (current close must be higher than close last week this time (approximately)).
Shorts require a falling 600sma (current close must be lower than close last week this time (approximately)).
Profit: Exit on first open that has a profit of greater than one point.
Stop Loss: At most recent Active Low/Most recent Active High.
If profit target is not met by 4pm ET, exit on the close of the 4pm bar.
