Dan Zanger used his strategy during the tech bubble era to gain significant leverage. A company called Efron audited the results he obtained. The audit confirmed an astonishing return of 29,223 percent, dwarfing the S&P 500 index return of only 23 percent over the same period, according to Efron.

1. Make sure the stock has a well-formed base or pattern, such as a flat base, a bull flag, a symmetrical triangle, an ascending triangle, an inverted head and shoulder, a cup and handle, and a double bottom.
