Ebbchart
I did some research on how the S&P 500 fared during the ebbchart years (2007-2013). These are the win-loss percentages of the S&P 500 in: 2007 (54.6%); 2008 (50.2%); 2009 (55.6%); 2010 (57.1%); 2011 (54.8%); 2012 (52.8%); 2013 thru end of June (60.5%).
There were 893 up days and 741 down days (893/1634 or 54.7%) from 2007 – 2013. This is very significant because all four bearish green patterns -- 7 (52.1%), 1 (52.3%), 4 (53.8%), 2 (53.9%) -- went below 54.7% in the C (54.3%), S (53.4%), and I-fund (51.5%). While the combined averages (only 5 and 3 beat it, though) of the bullish red patterns -- 5 (58.8%), 3 (55.9%), 8 (54.1%), 6 (52.3%) -- managed to beat 54.7% in the C (55.7%), S (54.9%), and I (55.0%).
It is also interesting to note that pattern 5/red-red-red held a win percentage of 60% while pattern 1/green-green-green (its exact opposite) only had 52% in the C-fund (see 6 yr. ebbtally chart below).
