I've spent my 30-plus-year career discovering some of the most obscure and lucrative patterns in the world.
Now, you might've heard the term before—or even tried trading patterns yourself.
But almost every trader I meet seems a bit confused about what pattern trading really is.
It's probably a whole different ball game than what you're used to. And a whole lot more profitable.
So today, I want to tell you a little bit more about what I do. Here's what pattern trading is and my favorite pattern trade this summer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What I Mean When I Say "Pattern Trading"</h2>
When most folks hear that I'm a pattern trader, they usually think of chart patterns – the ones with goofy names that remind you of real-world objects.
Like the "cup and handle," which usually signals a continuation of a bullish uptrend.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="484" height="276" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30150939/image-422.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933725" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30150939/image-422.png 484w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30150939/image-422-300x171.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px" /></figure>
Or the "head and shoulders." Three sharp peaks, with the middle peak usually higher than the preceding and subsequent peaks. This pattern can signal a bearish downtrend. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="654" height="366" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151514/image-423.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933730" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151514/image-423.png 654w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151514/image-423-300x168.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px" /></figure>
Or the "flag." Shaped like a sloping rectangle, a flag can signal a reversal of the current trend when and if the stock breaks out in the opposite direction of the trendlines.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="534" height="516" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151620/image-424.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933731" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151620/image-424.png 534w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151620/image-424-300x290.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" /></figure>
Now, I don't mean to sound dismissive; these kinds of patterns aren't useless. They can help you predict how a given stock may behave at a given point in time. Emphasis on the word "help."
Like any indicator, you can't just trade these patterns whenever you see them. They function best as an additional tool to confirm a potentially profitable setup.
But here's the thing…I'm a pattern trader because I believe it gives me an edge in the markets.
These kinds of chart patterns are observed by millions of traders around the world every single day. You don't need a Bloomberg terminal or expensive charting software to see them.
Anyone can go to Yahoo Finance, pull up a stock chart, spot an "ascending triangle" or a "rounding bottom," and make their move.
That's not what I'd call an edge.
So I want to be clear: when I talk about being a pattern trader, I'm talking about trading patterns that no one else can see.
Patterns are in all walks of life. Where and how people sleep, drive, eat, save, spend – and invest – there's a pattern behind it.
And when it comes to trading, I'm not talking about overall seasonal patterns everyone knows about, like Sell in May and Go Away. I'm talking about patterns that occur in the best 370 stocks in the market every day the markets are open.
We don't know WHY these patterns occur. We just know that they do – repeating year after year at a 90% clip – and that they can be incredibly profitable. But to understand the right way to trade them, you need to know which ones to trade.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Five Primary Trading Styles</h2>
There are five primary styles of analysis I use to determine the right security to trade:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Seasonal</li>
<li>Trend</li>
<li>Contrarian</li>
<li>Volatility</li>
<li>Statistical</li>
</ol>
The first is the one I want to explore today. Although my method for spotting and scanning this type can be complex, the pattern itself is simple to understand. And it starts with understanding seasonal analysis.
To me, seasonal analysis is the process of researching a security's price patterns to spot consistent, repeatable and predictable behaviors over a period of time. When I say ‘seasonal,' I'm not referring to back-to-school or tax time. I'm also not talking about the holidays or actual seasons, like fall or spring, although there are profitable patterns out there (we'll explore those in the future).
What I'm basically looking for is the best day to buy and sell certain stocks.
To do that, there are three questions that I set out to answer and have used for many years in my trading:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Are there specific stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have repeatable price patterns?</li>
<li>Is there a security that trades in a particular manner every year – regardless of the time of year?</li>
<li>Does the security trade higher or lower over specific date ranges or numbered trading days?</li>
</ol>
To get the best results, I look at the past ten years' worth of data on those securities to see the type of success rates (as a percentage) they've had. I also look at the average price move for each security in which I've spotted a repeatable pattern.
What I've discovered over many years of research is this: There are securities that trade in a consistent price pattern, higher or lower, at various times of the year and multiple times over the year. And, before scans really existed, I took these patterns and charted them on a simple calendar tool – the Money Calendar
The Money Calendar is my proprietary software that I use to find seasonal patterns – these repeatable price moves over specific periods of time. It scans millions of data points to find the stocks and ETFs that have moved higher or lower from the start date (the open price of one date) to the end date (the closing price of a later date).
In the early days, I would manually add stocks to the calendar that I found with the best buy and sell dates. But now, I've got built-in artificial intelligence that constantly scans, adds, and adjusts the best days to buy and sell.
To see the list of qualifying stocks with bullish or bearish patterns, I need only to click on a day. Then, I can see every stock The Money Calendar identified, along with the start and end dates.
Here's an example.
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>), the software giant considered a leader in Artificial Intelligence, recently popped up on my Money Calendar.
Because for the last 10 years ADBE stock has gone up an average of $49.96 every year over a 58-day time frame, between the end of May and late August:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="472" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933735" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425.png 936w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425-768x387.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
This means that ADBE stock has gone up, every single year, between May 27 and August 18, for an entire decade.
Do you think it's going to happen again this year? According to the Money Calendar, it's very likely.&nbsp;
And the best part? My Money Calendar delivers dozens, even hundreds of these patterns every single day.
So, while it's true that you can't predict the stock market itself – you can determine where a stock or exchange-traded fund (ETF) could move tomorrow, next week, next month and beyond like I just showed you with the Money Calendar.
And stay tuned – this isn't the last you'll hear about the Money Calendar.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) shares are up this week, trading higher Friday driven by improving technical signals and a noticeable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45465905/microsoft-adobe-kinsale-capital-and-an-energy-stock-on-cnbcs-final-trades">decline in short interest.</a>
What To Know: The stock just moved above its 50-day moving average. Market participants on CNBC noted the technical breakout, with some analysts suggesting the stock may have more upside despite recent volatility in the chart.
Supporting the move, Adobe&#8217;s short interest has fallen by over 18% since its last report, with short positions now accounting for just 2.21% of its public float. This drop in short bets indicates a shift in market sentiment, as fewer traders are positioning against the stock. Compared to its industry peers, Adobe's short interest is relatively low, its peer group averages 3.05% of float held short, potentially suggesting less bearish positioning overall.
Overall, Adobe's gains this week appear tied to improving market sentiment, a decline in short pressure and renewed attention from technical traders. Investors are watching to see whether the stock can maintain its upward momentum after reclaiming a key technical level.
ADBE Price Action: Adobe shares were up 2.71% at $415.67 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga pro.</a>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Adobe Stock In The Last 10 Years

Looking into the current session, Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) shares are trading at $403.01, after a 0.89% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock increased by 15.54%, but in the past year, decreased by 16.64%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Adobe P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Adobe has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 96.96 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747324829_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Look Into Adobe Inc's Price Over Earnings

Adobe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NYSE">ADBE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.15% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.41 million shares sold short, which is 2.21% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.77 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Adobe Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747245626_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Adobe has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Adobe's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Adobe's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Adobe Unusual Options Activity For May 01

It is messy.
One tweet sends stock prices plummeting lower.
Another revives the hopes and dreams of beleaguered traders, and they go into a buying frenzy.
Scott Bessent gives a closed-door talk that is on the wires with a word-for-word replay almost instantly and the market rebounds.
Peter Navarro escapes from the broom closet Elon Musk shoved him into and prices collapse once again.
Most market participants are not big fans of messy markets.
Corporate executives hate the lack of clarity and cloud of uncertainty that make it impossible to fit the future into a spreadsheet.
Trading algorithms develop hiccups.
The massive increase in career risk freezes mutual funds and endowment managers in place.
Holding cash and sprinting down the halls at 50 Hudson Yards screaming &#8220;Prudent Man, Prudent Man&#8221; just might preserve that cushy job and allow the mortgage and private Pre-K tuition bills to be paid again next month.
Buying shares of a beaten-up tech stock just before an announcement of new tariffs on semiconductors could lead to a third-floor walkup on Clinton Street and Wallace Elementary School.
Mediocre performance for inaction is a much better deal than training for the Metro North to the Midtown ferry.
There is, however, one group that thrives in messy.
Activist investors, those now-gentlemanly investors that were known in days of old as corporate raiders and takeover artists, love messy.
Messy creates distortion and distortion creates opportunity.
Activists have been embracing the mess so far in 2025.
The Shareholders Advisory Group at Barclays just released its first quarter look at activism and it&#8217;s pretty clear that activists like what they see.
Despite economic storm clouds gathering on the horizon and unpredictable market volatility, the activists aren&#8217;t just staying in the game. They are doubling down.
Barclays&#8217; data shows that global campaign activity has roared ahead with 70 campaigns in Q1, jumping 17% year-over-year. More tellingly, that&#8217;s running 25% above the four-year quarterly average.
Particularly noteworthy for value-oriented investors: companies under $5 billion market cap are being targeted at an accelerated rate, representing 66% of campaigns in Q1. This tells me that activists are finding more inefficiencies and potential value in the small and mid-cap space.
Of course this is exactly where traditional value investors should be looking anyway.
An interesting small activist holding is in the portfolio of ValueAct Holdings out of San Francisco.
Over the past 25 years the firm has built up a strong track record of wins and winning board seats at target companies.
The firm has had big winners with tech companies like Microsoft (Ticker: MSFT), Adobe (Ticker: ADBE) and Salesforce (Ticker: CRM).
The firm currently owns over 4 million shares, or a little over 12% of Insight Enterprises (Ticker: NSIT). It currently has one board seat at the Information Technology company.
Insight Enterprises is a Fortune 500 global technology company founded in 1988 by brothers Tim and Eric Crown as Hard Drives International, initially selling computer storage products. The company later changed its name to Insight Enterprises in 1991, went public in 1995, and has since evolved into a comprehensive IT solutions provider with offices in 19 countries.
The business should see strong tailwinds from major trends including big data, AI, cloud computing and cyber security.
The stock has had a strong run during the time ValueAct has been involved but has had a pretty sharp decline since the start of Tariff Wars 2025 edition.
Many of Insight&#8217;s customers are governments and government agencies or in industries including healthcare and education that are seeing negative impacts from the administration policies.
The stock is currently 20% of ValueAct&#8217;s portfolio and at some point it may make sense for them to gently suggest that Insight look for a potential offer from a larger IT firm.
This could unlock some of the value of the company and give the activist an exit strategy.
Barington Capital Group is a small but scrappy activist investment firm headquartered in New York City. Founded in 2000 by James A. Mitarotonda, a former investment banker turned shareholder gadfly, Barington has built a reputation as a focused value-oriented investor that targets underperforming small- and mid-cap companies, usually with a consumer or industrial tilt.
Barington is not in the business of financial engineering or short-term flips. They&#8217;re more like value investors with an activist toolkit that is focused on long-term turnaround stories where unlocking operational or strategic inefficiencies can create a meaningful rerating.
Its current target is Matthews International (Ticker: MATW).
Matthews has a puzzling combination of businesses that include factory automation and tombstones, caskets, and cremation equipment.
It sold its packaging and branding business for $50 million earlier this year as the proxy fight heated up.
Barington lost the first round as the company was able to hold off the activist&#8217;s attempt to gain three board seats.
The company is potentially worth at least twice the current stock price, so I doubt Barington slinks away in defeat.
Like Arnold and MacArthur, they will be back.
There will be more volatility and general messiness.
It will create opportunity for activists and those who track the activists.
