Barny, are you assuming that when these patterns are picked up by a few, they are always followed...

1. by the vast majority
2. consistently over a period
3. for the rest of their natural lives ???

How many times have we seen in this forum a comment to the effect that winning systems noted on here are often picked up & followed for a bit until they start loosing, then dropped.

Also, comments to the effect that some simple systems devised and/or identified on here long ago (derived from numbers / patterns) are still successful today, but not necessarily out there in the public domain.

LG
