Sticking to the strategy is what i think is much harder to do, because there is so many of them and people including myself tend to mix them and applying too early sometimes(basicly making them up as they wish), but then again we want to meke more then is realistic, be engaged all the time, thinking it can be done quick and on regular basis(ie make weekly set goal) ,so imo good knowing how to trade just one chart pattern is enough to be succesfull, be patient and wait for this known pattern. Looking back in time now if I only ever traded one pattern my succes rate would have been much greater.

a really good summary of how to trade successfully.....
this is from someone i follow on twitter....

"Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding when you crave action and are bored."

very nicely put....looks easy enough, but very hard to do...
