    The above thread chronicles ET member, praetorian2's discovery of a "Great new Pattern" (GNP) and the evolution of that pattern into a trading methodology that has helped him become a winning stock trader. The pattern scans for beaten down stocks, and plays them for a bounce, often holding overnight for a few days before the stocks reach their objective.

    praetorian2 also gives a brief bio of his history in trading here:

    ET member Quah has created quite a stir on ET in a very short period of time with "Something Very Simplistic" and "Son of Something Very Simplistic" (see next post in this thread) systems. The "Something Very Simplistic" daytrading system is 100% objective, and is fairly simple as systems go. It limits the number of daytrades to eleven each day, and focuses more on morning trading than afternoon trading.
