Harmonic Patterns (Experimental) [Kodexius]Harmonic Patterns (Experimental) is a multi pattern harmonic geometry scanner that automatically detects, validates, and draws classic harmonic structures directly on your chart. The script continuously builds a pivot map (swing highs and swing lows), then evaluates the most recent pivot sequence against a library of harmonic ratio templates such as Gartley, Bat, Deep Bat, Butterfly, Crab, Deep Crab, Cypher, Shark, Alt Shark, 5-0, AB=CD, and 3 Drives.
Unlike simple “pattern exists / pattern doesn’t exist” indicators, this version scores candidates by accuracy . Each pattern includes “ideal” ratio targets, and the script computes a total error score by measuring how far the observed ratios deviate from the ideal. When multiple patterns could match the same pivot structure, the script selects the best match (lowest total error) and displays that one. This reduces clutter and makes the output more practical in real market conditions where many ratio ranges overlap.
The end result is a clean, information rich visualization of harmonic opportunities that is:
-Pivot based and swing aware
-Ratio validated with configurable tolerance
-Direction filtered (bullish, bearish, or both)
-Ranked by accuracy to prefer higher quality matches
Note: This is an experimental pattern engine intended for research, confluence and chart study. Harmonic patterns are probabilistic and can fail often. Always combine with your own risk management and confirmation tools.
🔹 Features
🔸Pivot Detection
The script uses pivot functions to detect structural turning points:
-Pivot Left Bars controls how many bars must exist on the left of the pivot
-Pivot Right Bars controls confirmation delay on the right (smaller value reacts faster)
Additionally, a Min Swing Distance (%) filter can ignore tiny swings to reduce noise. Pivots are stored separately for highs and lows and capped by Max Pivots to Store to keep the script efficient.
🔸Pattern Library (XABCD and Beyond)
Supported structures include:
-Gartley, Bat, Deep Bat, Butterfly, Crab, Deep Crab
-Cypher (uses XC extension and CD retracement logic)
-Shark and Alt Shark (0-X-A-B-C mapping)
-5-0 (AB and BC extensions with CD retracement)
-AB=CD (symmetry and proportionality checks)
-3 Drives (6 point structure, drive and retracement ratios)
Each pattern is defined by ratio ranges and also “ideal” ratio targets used for scoring.
🔸 Pattern Fibonacci Rules (Detailed Ratio Definitions)
This script validates each harmonic template by measuring a small set of Fibonacci relationships between the legs of the pattern. All measurements are computed using absolute price distance (so the ratios are direction independent), and then a directional sanity check ensures the geometry is positioned correctly for bullish or bearish cases.
How ratios are measured
Most patterns in this script use the standard X A B C D harmonic structure. Four ratios are evaluated:
1) XB retracement of XA
This measures how much price retraces from A back toward X when forming point B .
xbRatio = |B - A| / |A - X|
2) AC retracement of AB
This measures how much point C retraces the AB leg.
acRatio = |C - B| / |B - A|
3) BD extension of BC
This measures the “drive” from C into D relative to the BC leg.
bdRatio = |D - C| / |C - B|
4) XD retracement of XA
This is the most important “completion” ratio in many patterns. It measures where D lands relative to the original XA swing.
xdRatio = |D - A| / |A - X|
Important: the script applies a user defined Fibonacci Tolerance to each accepted range, meaning the pattern can still pass even if ratios are slightly off from the textbook values.
🔸 XABCD Pattern Ratio Templates
Below are the exact ratio rules used by the templates in this script.
Gartley
-XB must be ~0.618 of XA
-AC must be between 0.382 and 0.886 of AB
-BD must be between 1.272 and 1.618 extension of BC
-XD must be ~0.786 of XA
In practice, Gartley is a “non extension” structure, meaning D usually remains inside the X boundary .
Bat
-XB between 0.382 and 0.50 of XA
-AC between 0.382 and 0.886 of AB
-BD between 1.618 and 2.618 of BC
-XD ~0.886 of XA
Bat patterns typically complete deeper than Gartley and often create a sharper reaction at D.
Deep Bat
-XB ~0.886 of XA
-AC between 0.382 and 0.886 of AB
-BD between 1.618 and 2.618 of BC
-XD ~0.886 of XA
Deep Bat uses the same completion zone as Bat, but requires a much deeper B point.
Butterfly
-XB ~0.786 of XA
-AC between 0.382 and 0.886 of AB
-BD between 1.618 and 2.618 of BC
-XD between 1.272 and 1.618 of XA
Butterfly is an extension pattern . That means D is expected to break beyond X (in the completion direction).
Crab
-XB between 0.382 and 0.618 of XA
-AC between 0.382 and 0.886 of AB
-BD between 2.24 and 3.618 of BC
-XD ~1.618 of XA
Crab is also an extension pattern . It often produces a very deep D completion and a strong reaction zone.
Deep Crab
-XB ~0.886 of XA
-AC between 0.382 and 0.886 of AB
-BD between 2.0 and 3.618 of BC
-XD ~1.618 of XA
Deep Crab combines a deep B point with a strong XA extension completion.
🔸 Cypher Fibonacci Rules (XC Based)
Cypher is not validated with the same four ratios as XABCD patterns. Instead it uses an XC based completion model:
1) B as a retracement of XA
xb = |B - A| / |A - X| // AB/XA
Must be between 0.382 and 0.618 .
2) C as an extension from X relative to XA
xc = |C - X| / |A - X| // XC/XA
Must be between 1.272 and 1.414 .
3) D as a retracement of XC
xd = |D - C| / |C - X| // CD/XC
Must be ~ 0.786 .
This makes Cypher structurally different: the “completion” is defined as a retracement of the entire XC leg, not XA.
🔸 Shark and Alt Shark Fibonacci Rules (0-X-A-B-C Mapping)
Shark patterns are commonly defined as 0 X A B C . In this script the pivots are mapped like this:
0 = pX, X = pA, A = pB, B = pC, C = pD
So the final pivot (stored as pD) is labeled as C on the chart.
Three ratios are validated:
1) AB relative to XA
ab_xa = |B - A| / |A - X|
Must be between 1.13 and 1.618 .
2) BC relative to AB
bc_ab = |C - B| / |B - A|
Must be between 1.618 and 2.24 .
3) OC relative to OX
oc_ox = |C - 0| / |X - 0|
For Shark it must be between 0.886 and 1.13 .
For Alt Shark it must be between 1.13 and 1.618 (a deeper / more extended completion).
🔸 5-0 Fibonacci Rules
5-0 is validated as a sequence of extensions and then a fixed retracement:
1) AB extension of XA
ab_xa = |B - A| / |A - X|
Must be between 1.13 and 1.618 .
2) BC extension of AB
bc_ab = |C - B| / |B - A|
Must be between 1.618 and 2.24 .
3) CD retracement of BC
cd_bc = |D - C| / |C - B|
Must be approximately 0.50 .
Note that for 5-0 the script does not rely on an XA completion ratio like 0.786 or 1.618. The defining completion is the 0.5 retracement of BC.
🔸 AB=CD Fibonacci Rules
AB=CD is a symmetry pattern and is treated differently from the harmonic templates:
1) AB and CD length symmetry
The script checks if CD is approximately equal to AB within tolerance.
2) BC proportion
BC/AB is expected to fall in a common Fibonacci retracement zone:
-approximately 0.618 to 0.786 (with a looser tolerance in code)
3) CD/BC expansion
CD/BC is expected to be an expansion ratio:
-approximately 1.272 to 1.618 (also with a looser tolerance)
This allows the script to capture both classic equal leg AB=CD and common “expanded” variations.
🔸 3 Drives Fibonacci Rules (6 Point Structure)
3 Drives is a 6 point structure and is validated using retracement ratios and extension ratios:
Retracement rules
Retracement 1 must be between 0.618 and 0.786 of Drive 1
Retracement 2 must be between 0.618 and 0.786 of Drive 2
Extension rules
Drive 2 must be between 1.272 and 1.618 of Retracement 1
Drive 3 must be between 1.272 and 1.618 of Retracement 2
This pattern is meant to capture rhythm and proportional repetition rather than a single XA completion ratio.
🔸 Why the script can show “ratio labels” on legs
If you enable Show Fibonacci Values on Legs , the script prints the measured ratios near the midpoint of each leg (or diagonal, depending on pattern type). This makes it easy to visually confirm:
-Which ratios caused the pattern to pass
-How close the structure is to ideal harmonic values
-Why one template was preferred over another via the accuracy score
🔸 Fibonacci Tolerance Control
All ratio checks use a single tolerance input (percentage). This tolerance expands or contracts the acceptable ratio ranges, letting you decide whether you want:
-Tight, high precision matches (lower tolerance)
-Broader, more frequent matches (higher tolerance)
🔸 Direction Filter (Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both)
You can restrict scanning to bullish patterns, bearish patterns, or allow both. This is useful if you are aligning with higher timeframe bias or only trading one side of the market.
🔸 Best Match Selection (Anti Clutter Logic)
When a new pivot confirms, the script evaluates all enabled patterns against the latest pivot sequence and keeps the one with the smallest total error score. This is especially helpful because many harmonic templates overlap in real time. Instead of drawing multiple conflicting labels, you get one “most accurate” candidate.
🔸 Clean Visual Rendering and Optional Details
The drawing system can display:
-Main structure lines (X-A-B-C-D or special mappings)
-Dashed diagonals for geometric context (XB, AC, BD, XD)
-Pattern fill to visually highlight the structure zone
-Point labels (X,A,B,C,D or 0..5 for 3 Drives, 0-X-A-B-C for Shark)
-Leg Fibonacci labels placed around midpoints for fast ratio reading
All colors (bullish and bearish line and fill) are configurable.
🔸 Pattern Spacing and Display Limits
To keep charts readable, the script includes:
-Max Patterns to Display to limit on-chart drawings
-Min Bars Between Patterns to avoid repeated signals too close together in the same direction
Older patterns are automatically deleted once the display limit is exceeded.
🔸 Alerts
When enabled, alerts trigger on new confirmed detections:
-Bullish Pattern Detected
-Bearish Pattern Detected
Alerts fire once per bar when a new pattern is confirmed by a fresh pivot.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic used under the hood.
1) Pivot Detection and Swing Filtering
The script confirms pivots using right side confirmation, then optionally filters them by minimum swing distance relative to the last opposite pivot.
// Pivot detection
float pHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars)
float pLow = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars)
// Example swing distance filter (conceptual)
abs(newPivot - lastOppPivot) / lastOppPivot >= minSwingPercent
Pivots are stored in capped arrays (high pivots and low pivots), ensuring performance and stable memory usage.
2) Ratio Measurements (Retracement and Extension)
The engine measures harmonic ratios using two core helpers:
Retracement measures how much the third point retraces the previous leg.
Extension measures how much the next leg extends relative to the previous leg.
// Retracement: (p3 - p2) compared to (p2 - p1)
calcRetracement(p1, p2, p3) =>
float leg = math.abs(p2.price - p1.price)
float retr = math.abs(p3.price - p2.price)
leg != 0 ? retr / leg : na
// Extension: (p4 - p3) compared to (p3 - p2)
calcExtension(p2, p3, p4) =>
float leg = math.abs(p3.price - p2.price)
float ext = math.abs(p4.price - p3.price)
leg != 0 ? ext / leg : na
For a standard XABCD pattern the script evaluates:
-XB retracement of XA
-AC retracement of AB
-BD extension of BC
-XD retracement of XA
3) Tolerance Based Range Check
Ratio validation uses a flexible range check that expands min and max by the tolerance percent:
isInRange(value, minVal, maxVal, tolerance) =>
float tolMin = minVal * (1.0 - tolerance)
float tolMax = maxVal * (1.0 + tolerance)
value >= tolMin and value <= tolMax
This means even “fixed” ratios (like 0.786) still allow a user controlled deviation.
4) Positional Sanity Check for D (Beyond X or Not)
Some harmonic patterns require D to remain within X (non extension patterns), while others require D to break beyond X (extension patterns). The script enforces that using a boolean flag in each template.
Conceptually:
-If the pattern is an extension type, D should cross beyond X in the expected direction
-If the pattern is not extension type, D should stay on the correct side of X
This prevents visually incorrect “ratio matches” that violate the intended geometry.
5) Template Definitions (Ranges + Ideal Targets)
Every pattern includes ratio ranges plus ideal values. The ideal values are used only for scoring quality, not for pass/fail. Example concept:
-Ranges determine validity
-Ideal targets determine ranking
6) Accuracy Scoring (Total Error)
When a candidate passes all validity checks, the script computes an accuracy score by summing absolute deviations from ideal ratios:
calcError(value, ideal) =>
math.abs(value - ideal)
// Total error is the sum of the four leg errors (as available for the pattern)
totalError =
calcError(xbRatio, xbIdeal) +
calcError(acRatio, acIdeal) +
calcError(bdRatio, bdIdeal) +
calcError(xdRatio, xdIdeal)
Lower score means closer to the “textbook” harmonic proportions.
7) Best Match Resolution (Choosing One Winner)
When multiple enabled patterns match the same pivot structure, the script selects the one with the lowest totalError:
updateBest(currentBest, newCandidate) =>
result = currentBest
if not na(newCandidate)
if na(currentBest) or newCandidate.totalError < currentBest.totalError
result := newCandidate
result
This is a major practical feature because it reduces clutter and highlights the highest quality interpretation.
8) Bullish and Bearish Scanning Logic
The scanner runs when pivots confirm:
-Bullish patterns are evaluated on a newly confirmed pivot low (potential D)
-Bearish patterns are evaluated on a newly confirmed pivot high (potential D)
From that D pivot, the script searches backward through stored pivots to build a valid pivot sequence (X,A,B,C,D). If 3 Drives is enabled, it also attempts to find the extra preceding point needed for the 6 point structure.
9) Rendering: Lines, Fill, Labels, and Leg Fib Text
After detection the script draws:
-Primary legs with thicker lines
-Geometric diagonals with dashed lines (for XABCD types)
-Optional fill between selected legs to emphasize the structure area
-A summary label showing direction, pattern name, and ratios
-Optional point labels and leg ratio labels placed near midpoints
To avoid overlapping with candles, the script offsets labels using ATR:
float yOff = math.max(ta.atr(14) * 0.15, syminfo.mintick * 10)
10) Pattern Lifecycle and Cleanup
To respect chart limits and keep visuals clean, the script deletes old drawings once the maximum visible patterns threshold is exceeded. This includes lines, fills, and labels.

⚙️ Entry Rules
🔹 Buy Setup
1. EMA Fast > EMA Slow → Uptrend condition.
2. Williams %R on the previous candle dropped below -80, and on the current candle, it crosses back above -80 → indicates momentum returning to the upside.
3. Current close is above EMA Fast.
4. Entry Buy at the close of the candle where %R crosses above -80.
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit
1. Entry : At the candle close where the signal occurs.
2. Stop Loss : At the lowest low between the current and previous candles.
3. Take Profit : Calculated based on entry price and stop loss distance multiplied by the Risk/Reward Ratio.
🔹 Sell Setup
1. EMA Fast < EMA Slow → Downtrend condition.
2. Williams %R on the previous candle went above -20, and on the current candle, it crosses back below -20 → indicates renewed selling momentum.

Wolfe Waves [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Wolfe Waves pattern was first introduced by Bill Wolfe , a trader and analyst in the 1980s–1990s who specialized in market geometry and natural rhythm cycles. Wolfe observed that price often forms symmetrical wave structures that anticipate equilibrium points where supply and demand meet. These formations, called Wolfe Waves , gained popularity as a reliable pattern for forecasting both short- and long-term reversals.
The Wolfe Waves indicator automatically detects these patterns in real time. It tracks sequences of five pivots (points 1 through 5) and connects them with wave lines. Users can select either Bullish or Bearish Wolfe Waves depending on their trading bias. When the pattern fails, the lines automatically turn red to highlight invalidation.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Five-Point Structure – Wolfe Waves are defined by five pivots (1–5), which together form the basis of the wave pattern.
Bullish Pattern – Occurs when price compresses downward into point 5, signaling a potential upside reversal.
Bearish Pattern – Occurs when price extends upward into point 5, forecasting a downside reversal.
Validation & Failure – The pattern is considered valid once all five pivots form; if price fails to respect the expected breakout, the indicator marks the structure as broken with red lines.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic detection of Bullish and Bearish Wolfe Waves.
Labels each pivot (1–5) on the chart for clarity.
Draws connecting lines between pivots to visualize the wave structure.
Projects target/dashed lines (EPA/ETA) based on Wolfe Wave geometry.
Lines automatically turn red when the pattern is broken, giving immediate feedback.
Customizable color scheme for bullish (lime) and bearish (orange) waves.
Adjustable sensitivity for pivot detection.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Choose between Bullish or Bearish mode depending on your analysis.
Watch for the formation of all five pivots; the indicator labels them clearly.
Look for potential entries near point 5, with the expectation that price will travel toward the projected EPA line.
Use invalidation (lines turning red) as a risk management warning to exit failed setups.
Combine with momentum, volume, or higher-timeframe analysis to increase reliability.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Wolfe Waves brings the classic Wolfe Wave theory into an automated TradingView tool. Inspired by Bill Wolfe’s original concept of natural market cycles, this indicator detects, labels, and validates Wolfe Waves in real time. With automatic invalidation marking and customizable settings, it offers traders a structured way to harness one of the most well-known geometric reversal patterns.
Sigma Reversal Print [FxScripts]Indicator Overview
The Sigma Reversal Print is a powerful tool designed for traders who like to trade reversal strategies plus trend traders looking to enter on strong pullbacks. It integrates advanced price action with volume analysis, highlighting areas where a trend reversal or pullback may be in progress, providing insights into where markets may be exhausted or about to surge.
Key Features and Functionality
Reversal Trading: Tailored primarily for reversal traders, the Sigma Reversal Print highlights zones where the market is likely to change direction. While this approach offers significant potential, it inherently carries a degree of risk due to the precision required in predicting market turning points. The Sigma Reversal Print uses advanced methodology to forecast such reversals with a high degree of accuracy.
Signal Generation Based on Reversal and Pullback Zones: The Reversal Print generates signals when price enters specific conditions, representing exhaustion followed by a change in order flow. These conditions allow the indicator to filter out low-probability signals and focus on those with higher potential for a trend change.
Settings
Sensitivity Control: The sensitivity setting allows traders to adjust the strength of the pattern required for a signal to be generated. The scale ranges from 2-10 with higher sensitivity demanding more confirmation, leading to fewer, generally more reliable, signals however backtesting is highly recommended. Adjusting the sensitivity enables traders to balance early entries with signal accuracy, accommodating both aggressive and more conservative strategies.
Customizable Length: The length setting allows users to fine-tune the calculation period, adjusting the indicator’s responsiveness to overall market conditions. Adjusting length allows the Reversal Print to adapt to the user’s trading style and timeframe of choice. Similar to the sensitivity control, the scale ranges from 2-10 with a higher length demanding more confirmation. This can lead to fewer, often more reliable, signals however, once again, backtesting is highly recommended.
Advanced Filters
Opening Gap Filter: Turning this on allows the system to avoid painting false signals that can be triggered by the daily or weekly opening gap at market open. This setting is toggled on by default.
Price Filter: This filter applies an additional weighted price action algorithm to the signal being painted thus further filtering out weaker signals. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default.
Volume Filter: This filters out low volume entries which have a lower probability of turning into successful trades. Variable from 1-10 with 1 being the most lenient and 10 the most stringent. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default.
Alerts
Configure alerts and receive notifications when the first warning dot in a sequence appears (the series of dots seen on the chart) and again when a breakpoint is triggered (the larger arrow on the chart). This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who like to monitor multiple instruments or prefer not to stare at a screen all day.
Performance and Optimization
Backtesting Results: The Reversal Print has undergone extensive backtesting across various instruments, timeframes and market conditions, demonstrating strong performance in identifying reversal points, particularly during volatile or overextended price movements. User backtesting is strongly encouraged as it allows traders to optimize settings for their preferred instruments and timeframes.
Optimization for Diverse Markets: The Reversal Print can be used on crypto, forex, indices, commodities or stocks. The Reversal Print's algorithmic foundation ensures consistent performance across a variety of instruments. Key settings such as Sensitivity and Length will require adjustment based on the volatility and characteristics of each market.
Educational Resources and Support
Users of the Sigma Reversal Print benefit from comprehensive educational resources and full access to FxScripts Support. This ensures traders can maximize the potential of the Reversal Print and other tools in the Sigma Indicator Suite by learning best practices and gaining insights from an experienced team of traders.
Summary
The Reversal Print is a powerful and adaptable tool for reversal and pullback traders, combining statistical analysis and price action to identify high-probability turning points. Its advanced customization options, flexible controls and integration with the Sigma Indicator Suite offer significant advantages over standard indicators. By pinpointing precise entry points, the Reversal Print enables traders to make informed trading decisions with confidence.
Custom Buy/Sell Pattern BuilderAre you tired of using trading indicators that only let you follow fixed, pre-designed rules? Do you wish you could build your own “Buy” or “Sell” signals, experiment with your own ideas, or see instantly if your unique pattern works—without learning coding or hiring a developer?
The Custom Buy/Sell Pattern Builder is designed for YOU.
This TradingView indicator lets ANY trader—even a complete beginner—define exactly what kind of price and volume conditions should create a BUY or SELL label on any chart, in any market, at any timeframe.
You don’t need to know programming. You don’t need to know the definition of a hammer, doji, volume spike, or Engulfing pattern.
With a few clicks and easy dropdown choices, you can:
Make your own rules for buying or selling
Choose how many candles your pattern should look at
Decide if you want the biggest body, the lowest volume, the biggest movement, or any combination you can imagine
The result?
You’ll see clear “BUY” or “SELL” labels automatically show up on your chart whenever the exact rule YOU built matches current price action.
No more guessing. No more forced strategies. Just pure control and visual feedback!
Why Is This Powerful?
Traditional indicators (like MACD, RSI, or even classic candlestick scanners) work the same for everyone—and only as their inventors defined.
But every trader, and every market, is unique.
What if you could say:
“Show me a ‘SELL’ every time the newest candle is bigger than the one before, but with LESS volume, while the bar before that had an even smaller body—but more volume than all others?”
With this tool, it’s EASY!
You simply pick which candle you want to compare (most recent, previous, etc), what to compare (body or volume—body means the candle’s “thickness”, from open to close), choose “greater than”, “less than”, or “equal to”, and set a multiplier if you want (like “half as much”, “twice as big”, etc).
After this, if any bar on the chart fits all your rules, it will mark it as a BUY or SELL, depending on your selection.
This means—
Beginners can start experimenting with their intuition or small ideas, without tech hurdles
Experienced traders can visualize and fine-tune any possible logic, before they commit to backtesting or automating a real strategy
Every “what if” or “I wonder” setup is just 2–3 clicks away
How Does It Work? Simple Steps
1. Choose Your Signal Type
“Buy” or “Sell”
This tells the indicator whether to mark the qualifying bars with a green “BUY” or red “SELL” label
2. Pick How Many Candles To Use
“Pattern Candle Count” input (2, 3, or 4)
Example: If you use 4, the pattern will be applied to the most recent 4 candles at every step
3. Define Your Pattern With Inputs
For each candle (from newest “0” to oldest “3”), you can set:
Body Condition (example: “is this candle’s body bigger/smaller/equal to another?”)
Pick which candle to compare against
Pick “>”, “<”, “>=”, “<=”, or “=”
Set a multiplier if needed (like “0.5” to mean “half as big as” or “2” for “twice as big as”)
Volume Condition (exact same choices, but based on trading volume—not the candle’s price body)
For example:
“Candle0 Body > Candle2 Body”
means “the latest candle’s real-body (open–close) is bigger than the one two bars ago.”
“Candle1 Volume <= Candle2 Volume”
means “the previous candle’s volume is less than or equal to the volume of the bar two periods ago.”
You can leave a comparison blank if you don’t want to use it for a particular candle.
What Happens After You Set Your Rules?
Every bar on your chart is checked for your logic:
If ALL body AND volume conditions are true (for each candle you specified),
AND
The signal side (“Buy” or “Sell”) matches your dropdown,
Then a green “BUY” or red “SELL” label will show right on the bar, so you can visually spot exactly where your logic works!
Practical Example:
Suppose you want an entry setup that is:
“Sell whenever the newest candle’s body is bigger than two bars ago, body before that is bigger than three bars ago, AND the newest candle’s volume is less than or equal to two bars ago, AND the candle three bars ago’s volume is less than or equal to half the candle two bars ago’s volume.”
You’d set:
Pattern Candle Count: 4
Side: Sell
Candle0 Body Ref#: 2, Op: >, Mult: 1
Candle1 Body Ref#: 3, Op: >, Mult: 1
Candle0 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: <=, Mult: 1
Candle3 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: <=, Mult: 0.5
And the script will find all “SELL” bars on your chart matching these conditions.
Inputs Section: What Does Each Setting Do?
Let’s break down each input in the indicator’s Settings one by one, so even if you’re new, you’ll understand exactly how to use it!
1. Pattern Candle Count (2–4)
What is it?
This sets how many candles in a row you want your rule to look at.
Example:
“4” means your rules are based on the most recent candle and the 3 before it.
“2” means you are only comparing the current and previous candles.
Tip:
Beginners often use 4 to spot stronger patterns, but you can experiment!
2. Signal Side
What is it?
Choose “Buy” or “Sell”. The word you pick here decides which colored label (green for Buy, red for Sell) appears if your pattern matches.
Example:
Want to spot where “Sell” is likely? Pick “Sell”.
Change to “Buy” if you want bullish signals instead.
3. Body & Volume Comparison Settings (per Candle)
For each candle (#0 is newest/current, #3 is oldest in your pattern window):
Body Comparison
Candle# Body Ref#
Choose which other candle you want to compare this one’s body to.
“0” = newest, “1” = previous, “2” = two bars ago, “3” = three bars ago
Candle# Body Op (Operator; >, <, >=, <=, =)
How do you want to compare?
“>” means “greater than” (is bigger than)
“<” means “less than” (is smaller than)
“=” means “equal to”
Candle# Body Mult (Multiplier)
If you want relative comparisons. For example, with Mult=1:
“Candle0 body > Candle2 body x 1” means just “0 is larger than 2.”
“Candle0 body > Candle2 body x 2” means “0 is more than double 2.”
Volume Comparison
Candle# Vol Ref# / Op / Mult
Exact same logic as body, but works on the “Volume” of each candle (how much was traded during that bar).
How to Set Up a Rule (Step by Step Example)
Say you want to mark a Sell every time:
The most recent candle’s real body is BIGGER than the candle 2 bars ago;
The previous candle’s body is also BIGGER than the candle 3 bars ago;
The current candle’s volume is LESS than or equal to the volume of candle 2;
The previous candle’s volume is LESS than or equal to candle 2’s volume;
The candle 3 bars ago’s volume is LESS than or equal to HALF candle 2’s volume.
You’d set:
Pattern Candle Count: 4
Side: "Sell"
Candle0 Body Ref#: 2, Op: “>”, Mult: 1
Candle1 Body Ref#: 3, Op: “>”, Mult: 1
Candle0 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: “<=”, Mult: 1
Candle1 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: “<=”, Mult: 1
Candle3 Vol Ref#: 2, Op: “<=”, Mult: 0.5
All other comparisons (operators) can be left blank if you don’t want to use them!
When these rules are met, a bright red “SELL” label will appear right above the bar matching all your conditions.
Practical Tips & FAQ for Beginners
What does “body” mean?
It’s the “true range” of the candle: the difference between open and close. This ignores wicks for simple setups.
What does “volume” mean?
This is the total trading activity during that candle/bar. Many traders believe that patterns with different volume “meaning” (such as low-volume up bars, or high-volume down bars) signal a meaningful change.
What if nothing shows on chart?
It just means your current rules are rarely or never matched! Try making your comparisons simpler (maybe just 2-body and 2-volume conditions to start).
You can always hit “Reset Settings” to go back to default.
Can I use this for both buying and selling?
YES! You can detect both bullish (Buy) and bearish (Sell) custom conditions; just switch “Signal Side.”
Do I need to know coding?
Not at all! Everything is in simple input panels.
Creative Use Cases, Example Recipes & Troubleshooting
Creative Ways to Use
Spotting Reversals
Example:
Buy when: the newest candle body is LARGER than the previous 3 bars, but ALL volumes are lower than their neighbors.
Why? Sometimes, a big candle with surprisingly low volume after a sequence of small bars can signal a reversal.
Finding Exhaustion Moves
Example:
Sell when: the current bar body is twice as big as two bars ago, but volume is half.
Why? A very big candle with very little volume compared to similar bars may show the move is “running out of steam.”
Custom “Breakout + Confirmation” Patterns
Example:
Buy when:
Candle 0’s body is greater than Candle 2’s by at least 1.5x,
Candle 0’s volume is greater than Candle 1 and Candle 2,
Candle 1’s volume is less than Candle 0.
Why? This could catch strong breakouts but filter out noisy moves.
Multi-bar Bias/Squeeze Filter
Use “Pattern Candle Count: 4”
Set all 4 volume conditions to “<” and each reference to the previous candle.
Now, a BUY or SELL only marks when each bar is “dryer”/less active than the last — a classic squeeze or low-volatility buildup.
Troubleshooting Guide
“I don’t see any Buy/Sell label; is something broken?”
Most likely, your rules are too strict or rare! Try using only two comparisons and leave other “Op” inputs blank as a test.
Double-check you have enough candles on the chart: you need at least as many bars as your pattern count.
“Why does a label appear but not where I expect?”
Remember, the script checks your rules for every NEW candle. The candle “0” is always the most recent, then “1” is one bar back, etc.
Check the color and type chosen: “Signal Side” must be “Buy” for green, “Sell” for red.
“What if I want a more complex pattern?”
Stack conditions! You can demand the body/volume of each candle in your window meet a different rule or all follow the same rule in sequence.
Mini Glossary — For Newcomers
Candle/Bar: Each bar on the chart, shows price movement during a fixed time (e.g., one minute, one hour, one day).
Body: The colored (or filled) part of the candle — the open-to-close price range.
Volume: How much of the asset was actually traded that candle/bar.
Reference Index: When you pick “2” as a reference, it means “the candle two bars ago in the pattern window.”
Operator (“Op”): The math symbol used to compare (>, <, =, etc).
Signal Side: Whether you want to highlight bullish (“Buy”) or bearish (“Sell”) bars.
Tips for Getting More Value
Start Simple—try just one or two conditions at first. See what lights up. Slowly add more logic as you get comfortable.
Watch the chart live as you change settings. The labels update instantly—this makes strategy design fast and visual!
Try flipping your ideas: If a certain pattern doesn’t work for buys, try reversing the direction for possible “sell” setups.
Remember: There is NO wrong idea. This indicator is only limited by your creativity—it’s a “strategy playground.”
Example Quick-Start Recipes
Classic Sell:
4 candles, side = Sell
Candle0 Body > Candle2; Candle1 Body > Candle3
Candle0 Vol <= Candle2; Candle1 Vol <= Candle2; Candle3 Vol <= Candle2 × 0.5
Simple Buy After Pause:
3 candles, side = Buy
Candle0 Body > Candle1; Candle0 Vol > Candle1
All other Ops blank
Low-Volume Pullback for Entry:
4 candles, side = Buy
Candle0 Body > Candle2
Candle0 Vol < Candle1; Candle1 Vol < Candle2; Candle2 Vol < Candle3
Final Words
Think of this as your “pattern lab.” No code, no guesswork—just experiment, see what the market actually gives, and design your own visual rulebook.
If you’re stuck, reset the script to defaults—it’s always safe to start again!
If you want more ready-made “recipes” for different strategies/styles, just ask and I’ll send some more setups for you.
Happy building—and may your edge always be YOUR edge!
Trend Finder Using Pull Back Method {Darkoexe}This indicator predicts trends using pull backs structure to predict the trend direction. It builds off the flag pattern concept but it uses precise precise measurements to determine trend direction.
A pull back occurs every time the price direction switches then closes either below or above the open of the previous candle depending on the type of pull back, bullish or bearish.
For an up trend to be a defined, when a bullish pull back occurs and does not go below the previous low, if the price then passes above the start of the pull back, an up trend signal will be printed. Only bullish pull backs will be displayed during an up trend.
For a down trend to be defined, when a bearish pull back occurs and does not go above the previous high, if the price then passes below the start of the pull back, a down trend signal will be printed. Only bearish pull backs will be displayed during a down trend.
If the conditions for an up trend or down trend are not met, no trend will be printed. Both bearish and bullish pull backs will be displayed during a no trend.
All the labels colors can be changed.

Chart Patterns (PRO) [ActiveQuants]Unlock the full potential of chart pattern trading with Chart Patterns (PRO) ! This advanced indicator goes beyond basic detection, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for serious traders. Automatically identify an extensive range of reversal and continuation patterns, complete with projected price targets , visually appealing pattern fills , and a sophisticated multi-status alert system .
How It Works
The indicator employs a sophisticated multi-stage process:
Precision Pivot Detection: At its heart, the indicator identifies significant swing highs and lows (pivot points) using an optimized internal period. These pivots are the fundamental building blocks for all pattern recognition. ( Users can toggle visibility of these pivots ).
Advanced Pattern Recognition Engine: Sequences of these pivot points are meticulously analyzed against a vast library of predefined geometric conditions to identify chart patterns. This includes checks for relative pivot heights/lows, slope analysis of trendlines, and ATR-based proportionality for patterns like Head & Shoulders.
Dynamic Status Tracking & Invalidation:
- Active: A pattern's initial structure is identified (e.g., two tops of a Double Top, or the converging trendlines of a Pennant). The pattern is developing.
- Confirmed: The pattern completes, and price breaks out/down from a key level (e.g., neckline, trendline) in the expected direction. Price targets are plotted upon confirmation.
- Invalidated: If price breaks out/down in the opposite direction of what's expected for an "Active" pattern, or if a new pivot forms that structurally compromises an "Active" Double Top/Bottom or Head & Shoulders before its confirmation, the pattern is marked "Invalid".
Price Target Projection: For confirmed patterns (excluding simple HH/LL structures), the indicator automatically calculates and plots potential price targets based on common technical analysis principles (e.g., pattern height projected from the breakout point).
█ DETECTED CHART PATTERNS
Chart Patterns (PRO) identifies a comprehensive list of 20 patterns, categorized for clarity:
I. Simple Market Structures:
Lower Low (LL): Indicates bearish pressure, potentially forming part of a larger downtrend.
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH): Stronger confirmation of a bearish trend.
Higher High (HH): Signals bullish strength, potentially part of an uptrend.
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL): Stronger confirmation of a bullish trend.
II. Reversal Patterns:
These patterns typically signal a potential end of the current trend and the beginning of a new one in the opposite direction.
Double Top (DT): Bearish reversal. Two distinct peaks at similar levels.
Double Bottom (DB): Bullish reversal. Two distinct troughs at similar levels.
Head and Shoulders (H&S): Bearish reversal. A central peak (head) flanked by two smaller peaks (shoulders).
Inverse Head and Shoulders (Inv H&S): Bullish reversal. A central trough (head) flanked by two smaller troughs (shoulders).
Rising Wedge From Uptrend (RW From UT): Bearish reversal. Converging trendlines with an upward slant during an uptrend.
Falling Wedge From Downtrend (FW From DT): Bullish reversal. Converging trendlines with a downward slant during a downtrend.
Bearish Ascending Triangle (Reversal): Bearish reversal. A horizontal resistance line with rising support, typically occurring after a downtrend.
Bullish Descending Triangle (Reversal): Bullish reversal. A horizontal support line with falling resistance, typically occurring after an uptrend.
III. Continuation Patterns:
These patterns typically suggest a temporary pause in the prevailing trend, after which the trend is likely to resume.
Rising Wedge From Downtrend (RW From DT): Bearish continuation. An upward-slanted consolidation during a downtrend.
Falling Wedge From Uptrend (FW From UT): Bullish continuation. A downward-slanted consolidation during an uptrend.
Bearish Pennant: Bearish continuation. A small symmetrical triangle (converging trendlines) after a sharp downward move.
Bullish Pennant: Bullish continuation. A small symmetrical triangle (converging trendlines) after a sharp upward move.
Bearish Flag: Bearish continuation. A short, rectangular consolidation (parallel trendlines, often upward sloping) after a sharp downward move.
Bullish Flag: Bullish continuation. A short, rectangular consolidation (parallel trendlines, often downward sloping) after a sharp upward move.
Bearish Descending Triangle: Bearish continuation. Horizontal support and a descending resistance line during a downtrend.
Bullish Ascending Triangle: Bullish continuation. Horizontal resistance and an ascending support line during an uptrend.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Automatic Price Target Projection:
Once a pattern is "Confirmed," a price target is automatically plotted on the chart.
Targets are calculated based on established technical methods, typically measuring the height of the pattern and projecting it from the breakout point.
Includes a label displaying the target price level. Toggle with Show Price Targets .
- Advanced Multi-Status Alerts:
Never miss an opportunity with highly configurable alerts.
Receive notifications when a pattern is:
- Developing (Active): Get an early heads-up.
- Confirmed: Act on breakout signals.
- Invalidated: Re-assess your strategy quickly.
Alerts automatically include the pattern type and its status (e.g., "Double Top - Confirmed ✅").
Additional contextual information included by default: Ticker Symbol, Chart Timeframe, Current Price, and Projected Target Price (for confirmed patterns).
Enable/disable all alerts via the Enable Alerts setting.
- Comprehensive Pattern Validation & Invalidation:
Patterns like Wedges, Triangles, Pennants, and Flags are monitored for breakouts. A breakout in the expected direction confirms the pattern; a breakout in the opposite direction invalidates it.
Double Tops/Bottoms and Head & Shoulders have pre-confirmation invalidation logic: if a new pivot forms that compromises the pattern's structure before the neckline breaks, the pattern is marked "Invalid". This helps filter out weaker setups.
ATR is used internally for proportional checks in patterns like Head & Shoulders, ensuring more reliable formations.
- Superior Visualizations:
Pattern Fills: Wedges, Triangles, Pennants, and Flags are visually enhanced with a semi-transparent fill between their trendlines, making them easy to spot.
Clear Necklines & Trendlines: Critical lines for patterns are drawn clearly.
Distinct Labels: Each pattern receives a main label (e.g., "H&S", "BullP"). Double Tops/Bottoms and H&S also get individual component labels (Top 1/2, Shoulder 1/Head/Shoulder 2).
Customizable Colors: Set distinct colors for bullish and bearish patterns.
- Pattern Display Control:
Toggle visibility for each of the 20 individual pattern types.
Filter displayed patterns by their status: All , Active , Confirmed , or Invalid .
Control historical depth with Show Last History (Bars) .
- Pivot Point Engine:
The indicator uses an optimized internal lookback period for robust pivot detection.
Optionally display these pivot high and low markers on your chart, with customizable colors.

█ UNDERSTANDING PATTERN INVALIDATION
Trendline Patterns (Wedges, Triangles, Pennants, Flags): An "Active" pattern is invalidated if price breaks its trendlines in the direction opposite to the expected breakout before a confirmation occurs. E.g., an Active Bullish Pennant is invalidated if price breaks below its lower trendline.
Neckline Patterns (Double Tops/Bottoms, H&S): An "Active" pattern can be invalidated before a neckline break if a new pivot point forms that violates the pattern's structural integrity.
Example (Double Top): If Top 1, Neckline (P5), and Top 2 form (Active status), but before price breaks below P5, a new swing low forms at or above P5, the Double Top is invalidated. This indicates a failure to break support and potential renewed strength.
█ ALERTS GUIDE
Add the " Chart Patterns (PRO) " indicator to your chart.
Ensure Enable Alerts is checked in the indicator settings.
In TradingView, click the "Alert" icon (clock) in the right toolbar or press ALT + A .
In the "Create Alert" dialog:
- Condition: Select " Chart Patterns (PRO) ".
- For the condition dropdown below it, choose " Any alert() function call ". This will trigger for any alert generated by the script.
- Interval: Choose whatever interval you want the alert to be triggered.
- Expiration: Choose the expiration date.
Customize your alert notification preferences (popup, email, webhook, etc.) and click " Create ".
You will now receive alerts for pattern status changes (Developing, Confirmed, Invalidated) with detailed information.
█ CONCLUSION
The Chart Patterns (PRO) indicator is an indispensable tool for traders aiming to optimize their workflow. By automatically identifying and drawing classical chart patterns, it eliminates the need for manual chart analysis, thereby enabling users to dedicate substantially less time to chart monitoring. Its comprehensive detection, coupled with actionable insights like price targets and a meticulous status tracking system with alerts, provides a significant analytical edge. Automate your pattern recognition and drawing, and concentrate on making informed trading decisions with enhanced efficiency.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Confirmation is Crucial: While "Active" patterns provide early warnings, always await "Confirmed" status (e.g., neckline/trendline breaks) and consider volume and broader market context.
⚠ Non-Repainting Logic: Pattern detection and status updates are based on confirmed price bars and pivot points. Once a pattern is fully formed and its status set (Active, Confirmed, Invalid), it will not repaint its historical state. Initial drawing of "Active" patterns extends to the current bar and updates dynamically.
⚠ Combine with Other Tools: No indicator is a standalone solution. Use Chart Patterns (PRO) in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., fundamental analysis, other indicators, volume analysis) and robust risk management .
⚠ Historical Data: Ensure sufficient historical data on your chart for patterns to form and be detected accurately. The Show Last History (Bars) setting can manage this.
⚠ Lagging Nature: By their very definition, chart patterns are lagging indicators as they require a sequence of price action and several pivot points to complete their formation.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The Chart Patterns (PRO) indicator and its generated information are for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Chart patterns and projected targets indicate potential price movements based on historical tendencies but do not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own due diligence, consider multiple factors, and consult with a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
📈 Happy trading! 🚀
Chart Patterns [ActiveQuants]The Chart Patterns indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to automatically identify a variety of common chart patterns directly on your price chart. By detecting sequences of pivot highs and lows , this indicator helps traders spot potential trend continuations , reversals , and key market structures such as Double Tops and Double Bottoms . Enhance your technical analysis by quickly recognizing these formations as they emerge.
How It Works
The indicator operates in a two-stage process:
Pivot Point Detection: It first identifies significant swing highs and swing lows (pivot points) based on a user-defined Period . These pivots form the fundamental building blocks for pattern recognition.
Pattern Recognition: Using the sequence of these detected pivot points, the script then applies logical rules to identify the following patterns:
Lower Low (LL)
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH)
Higher High (HH)
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL)
Double Tops
Double Bottoms
Patterns are drawn on the chart with connecting lines and labeled for easy identification. Double Tops and Double Bottoms also feature a status system: " Active " while forming, " Confirmed " upon neckline breakout, or " Invalid " if specific conditions negate the pattern before confirmation.
█ KEY FEATURES
Comprehensive Pattern Detection: Identifies six distinct types of chart patterns, offering insights into both trend continuation and potential reversals.
Pivot-Based Analysis: Uses a robust method of identifying pivot highs and lows as the foundation for pattern formation.
Pattern Status for Double Tops/Bottoms:
- Active: A Double Top or Double Bottom pattern has formed its two peaks/troughs and the intervening neckline point, but the price has not yet broken beyond the neckline. The pattern is developing .
- Confirmed: The price has decisively closed beyond the neckline (below for Double Top, above for Double Bottom), signaling a potential entry or validation of the pattern.
- Invalid: An " Active " Double Top or Double Bottom pattern can be invalidated if, before a neckline breakout occurs, a new pivot point forms that negates the pattern’s structural integrity. For example, if a new pivot low forms above or at the neckline of an Active Double Top, the pattern is considered invalid because the market failed to break down and instead showed relative strength.
Customizable Visuals: Allows users to define colors for bullish and bearish patterns, line widths, and the visibility of pivot points.
Selective Pattern Display: Users can choose to display all patterns or filter by status (Active, Confirmed, Invalid) for Double Tops/Bottoms. Individual pattern types can also be toggled on or off.
Historical Analysis Control: The Show Last History (Bars) input allows users to specify how far back the indicator should plot patterns, optimizing performance and chart readability.
Clear Labeling: Patterns are clearly labeled on the chart, with Double Tops/Bottoms also showing " Top 1 ," " Top 2 ," or " Bottom 1 ," " Bottom 2 " labels.
█ PATTERNS DETECTED
Lower Low (LL): Indicates a potential bearish continuation or the start of a downtrend. Forms when price makes a lower low during an uptrend.
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH): A stronger confirmation of a bearish trend, where the market forms a lower low followed by a lower high .
Higher High (HH): Signals a potential bullish continuation or the start of an uptrend. Forms when price makes a higher high during a downtrend.
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL): A stronger confirmation of a bullish trend, where the market forms a higher high followed by a higher low .
Double Top: A bearish reversal pattern characterized by two distinct peaks at roughly the same price level, separated by a trough (neckline). Confirmation occurs when price breaks below the neckline.
Double Bottom: A bullish reversal pattern featuring two distinct troughs at roughly the same price level, separated by a peak (neckline). Confirmation occurs when price breaks above the neckline.
█ EXAMPLE: DOUBLE TOP INVALIDATION
Understanding how a Double Top or Double Bottom can be invalidated is crucial. Here's an example for a Double Top:
Formation: The indicator identifies two peaks (Top 1, Top 2) at a similar price level, with a corrective trough (Neckline Pivot P5) in between. The pattern is labeled " Double Top " and is in an " Active " state. ( Imagine points P4 and P6 are the two tops, and P5 is the low point of the neckline between them ).
Pre-Breakout Condition: The price action continues, but before it breaks decisively below the P5 neckline level, a new significant swing low (a new pivot low) forms.
Invalidation Check: The indicator checks the price level of this new pivot low. If this new pivot low occurs at a price equal to or higher than the P5 neckline level, the " Active " Double Top pattern is re-labeled as " Invalid Double Top ". ( See image below for a visual representation of this scenario )
In this example, the Double Top formed with Top 1 (P4) and Top 2 (P6). The neckline is at P5. Before price broke below P5, a new pivot low formed at the red circle. Since this new pivot low is above the P5 neckline, the Double Top is marked " Invalid ".
The logic is that the market failed to break the neckline support and instead established a higher low (or a low at the support level), suggesting that the immediate bearish pressure has waned, thus invalidating the bearish reversal implication of the Double Top before it could confirm. A similar logic applies to Double Bottoms (a new pivot high forming below or at the neckline before an upside breakout).

█ CONCLUSION
The Chart Patterns indicator is a versatile and powerful assistant for traders who utilize classical chart pattern analysis. By automating the detection of key formations and providing clear visual cues along with status updates for patterns like Double Tops and Bottoms, it allows traders to focus on strategy development and execution. With its customizable settings, it can be adapted to various instruments and timeframes, making it a valuable addition to any technical trader's toolkit.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Pivot Period Sensitivity: The Period setting for pivot detection is crucial. A shorter period will identify more frequent, smaller swings, while a longer period will focus on more significant turning points. Adjust this setting based on the asset's volatility, the timeframe you are trading and your trading style.
⚠ Confirmation is Key: While the indicator identifies patterns, always wait for pattern confirmation (e.g., neckline breaks for Double Tops/Bottoms) and consider other factors like volume and market context before making trading decisions.
⚠ Confirmed Bars for Detection: Patterns are identified based on confirmed pivot points, which means a pivot is recognized period bars after it has formed. Status updates for Double Tops/Bottoms (Active, Confirmed, Invalid) also occur on confirmed bars. This approach enhances reliability and reduces the likelihood of repainting based on intra-bar price fluctuations.
⚠ Not a Standalone System: Chart patterns provide valuable insights, but they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages, oscillators) and a sound risk management plan.
⚠ Lagging Nature: By their very definition, chart patterns are lagging indicators as they require a sequence of price action and several pivot points to complete their formation.

Statistics at a Glance (based on Bulkowski's studies):
Continuation Bias : ~60% continuation bias.
Measured Move : 70%+ of bullish breakouts (in bull markets) reach the measured move.
Throwback : ~64% chance price retraces to the breakout level after an upside break.
Trend Alignment : Historically, success rates improve when trading in line with the larger trend.
How to Trade with This Indicator :
Identifying the Pattern : Wait till a Shark 32 pattern is formed.
Entry Rule : Enter on a confirmed close above the pattern high (for bullish) or below the pattern low (for bearish).
Stop Placement : Place stops a few ticks beyond the opposite side of the pattern. Tight ranges = small risk. Or use the mid-range of the pattern as a stop level.
Target Options : Aim for Risk/Reward Ratio of 2R or 3R to capture a strong follow-through. Alternatively, use the measured move of the first bar's height as a target.
Tips for Better Reliability:
Trend Alignment : Shark 32 breakouts usually work best in the direction of the broader market or trend.
Confirmation : Look for a significant volume increase at the breakout—helps filter out “fake” moves.
Throwback Awareness : ~64% of upside breakouts retest the pattern boundary; stay patient if you see a pullback.
Risk Management : Maintain tight stops and consider using alerts for activation/breakout signals.
Why This Indicator?
Clear Visuals : Highlights the pattern boundary, breakout lines, and potential stop/target levels.
Customizable : Lets you adjust line styles, risk parameters, alerts, and statistics display.
Statistical Edge : Built-in table aggregates pattern counts, success/failure rates, and average durations.
Final Thoughts:
This Shark 32 Pro indicator gives you a systematic way to spot—and trade—a compact yet powerful three-candle formation. Combine it with solid risk management and trend analysis for best results. Monitor volume and confirm breakouts with a candle close beyond the pattern’s range. While the pattern can fail, tight stops and clear targets help keep your trading efficient and disciplined.
Trend, Chart Patterns & Market Structure Indicator [TradeDots]The "Trend, Chart Patterns & Market Structure Indicator" is engineered to identify pivotal price action points, revealing shifts in market dynamics. This tool aids traders to simplify any trading market in recognizing significant price levels, enhancing decision-making in diverse market conditions.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
Pivot Identification
The indicator detects pivots in price action using a complex mathematical model by analyzing a window of candlesticks to capture significant reversal patterns. It examines a series of bars, focusing on their open, high, low, close, and changes in these values, to pinpoint potential market turning points.
Support and Resistance Lines
Calculation: Automatically draws lines at key price pivots in bullish and bearish markets.
Significance: Aligning support and resistance levels highlights strong demand or supply zones, reinforcing trading biases. When multiple lines converge near a price level, it indicates robust support or resistance, as many traders focus on these levels for placing trades.
Chart Patterns Analysis
Formation: Utilizes four pivots to identify patterns such as ascending/descending channels, contraction, and expansion patterns.
Visualization: Background colors (green for bullish, red for bearish) help identify market trends.
Market Structure Shifts
Detection: Identifies price breakouts above or below previous support and resistance, indicating changes in market structure.
Confirmation: Highlights shifts in market character, aiding in trend reversal anticipation.
Types of Market Structure Shifts
Channel Breakout: The price breaks out from the current channel's resistance level.
Rev. Breakout: The price breaks out from a contraction pattern, moving in the opposite direction of the previous market trend.
Continuation Breakout: The price breaks out from a contraction pattern, continuing the previous market trend.
Change of Character (ChoCh): The price breaks out from either support or resistance, causing a change in the market trend.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
Chart Visualization
Color Coding: Background colors signify market trends, with green indicating bullish and red indicating bearish conditions.
Pattern Recognition: Identifies and labels patterns, providing insights into current market sentiment.
Reversal Signals
Signal Labels: Detects shifts in market structure indicating potential entry and exit points.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Market Noise: Accuracy may decrease in volatile and noisy markets.
Trend Confirmation Delay: Market trends are only confirmed once the price breaks out from support or resistance, potentially causing delays.

Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed IchimokuThe "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders who seek a unique perspective on market dynamics. This innovative indicator not only reverses the traditional candlestick chart but also inverts the Ichimoku Cloud components, providing a comprehensive view of the market's inverted behavior.
Key Features:
Reversed Candlestick Chart:
The indicator recalculates the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices by reversing them along the price axis. This means that what typically would be an upward movement is displayed as a downward movement, and vice versa. This reversal provides an alternative view that can help traders identify hidden patterns and potential reversal points that might not be obvious on a standard chart.
Reversed Ichimoku Cloud:
All components of the Ichimoku Cloud indicator are recalculated based on the reversed price data. This includes:
Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): Reversed based on the highest and lowest prices over the specified period.
Kijun-sen (Base Line): Reversed in a similar manner to the Tenkan-sen, providing a medium-term perspective on price trends.
Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): Reversed to form one boundary of the Kumo (cloud), offering insight into future support and resistance levels.
Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): Reversed to form the other boundary of the Kumo, complementing Senkou Span A.
Chikou Span (Lagging Span): Reversed and plotted backward for additional confirmation of trend direction and strength.
Dynamic Price Range Calculation:
The indicator dynamically calculates the maximum and minimum prices over the last 500 bars (or the available range if fewer bars are present). This ensures that the reversal is always based on the most relevant data, providing accurate and up-to-date visualizations.
Visual Enhancements:
The reversed candlesticks are color-coded for easy interpretation: green for upward movements and red for downward movements, based on the reversed data.
The Ichimoku Cloud is filled with semi-transparent colors to clearly distinguish between bullish and bearish conditions even in its reversed state.
Debugging Aids:
For transparency and accuracy, the indicator plots the maximum and minimum price lines used for the reversal calculations. This allows users to verify the internal workings of the indicator and ensure the reversal logic is correctly applied.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for advanced traders and analysts who want to explore market behavior from an unconventional angle. By reversing both the candlestick chart and the Ichimoku Cloud, it provides a unique perspective that can uncover new trading opportunities and enhance market analysis.
Customization:

Feature List
Automatic real-time pattern detection
7 different built-in breakout conditions
Breakout alerts
Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify harmonic patterns. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for harmonic patterns, since finding the pattern and alerting for a breakout is done automatically for the trader.
For a visualization of the detected patterns, you can add the TRN Harmonic Patterns Suite indicator to your chart.
How does TRN Harmonics Scanner work?
On the right side of the chart, you can find a table displaying the symbols monitored by our scanner for pattern and breakout detection. The table is divided into bullish and bearish patterns and provides information on the status of each symbol.
UP – Upside Breakout
DN – Downside Breakout
UP CONF – Upside Breakout confirmed
DN CONF – Downside Breakout confirmed
FAILED – Pattern failed to get confirmed
If a pattern is in the making or already got confirmed, the scanner displays the name of the harmonic pattern in the table.
The scanner operates specifically on the timeframe you have selected in TradingView, ensuring that the detected patterns and breakouts align precisely with your trading perspective. If the scanner displays a pattern or a breakout, you just can switch to this instrument and start trading it if you like what you see.
Follow these instructions to discover how you can utilize the scanner for seamless and simplified chart pattern detection like never before:
Add Symbols
Go to indicator settings and scroll down to the "Symbols" section. The enabled symbols can be recognized by the check marks. Click on one of them and use the search function to add the symbol of your choice to the scanner. You can search for up to 20 different symbols at the same time.
Use Alerts (Optional but Recommended)
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities.
Customization and settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns. Adjust the harmonics size in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss.
Breakout Conditions
Identifying breakout conditions is paramount for successfully profiting on chart patterns. Trading tools equipped with diverse breakout conditions offer traders a comprehensive approach to deciphering market trends and making informed decisions.
This section delves into the set of breakout conditions built within the Harmonic Pattern Scanner, exploring their functionalities, applications, and the benefits they provide in the realm of chart pattern recognition.
TRN Bars Signal + Trend
The Harmonic Pattern Scanner includes also the TRN Bars algorithm. It is designed to spot bullish and bearish trends and reversals. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that weights several different inputs:
1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.
How To Setup Breakout Conditions
Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

Head and Shoulders PatternHello Traders!
The Head and Shoulders Pattern indicator utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition to pinpoint head and shoulders patterns in real-time with unparalleled precision.
The head and shoulders chart pattern is a technical analysis pattern used to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets. It consists of three swing highs (peaks), with the middle peak being the highest and the two outside swing highs being slightly lower. The middle peak is referred to as the "head" and the two outside peaks are referred to as the "shoulders."
The pattern typically forms after an uptrend and is in most cases a bearish signal. The neckline is a support level that connects the lows of the two shoulders. Once the price breaks below the neckline, the pattern is confirmed, and a new down trend starts. Conversely, an "inverse head and shoulders" pattern forms after a downtrend and is a bullish signal.

The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for head and shoulders patterns, since everything is done automatically for the trader: Finding the pattern, looking and alerting for a breakout, computing the entry, stop loss and take profit levels as well as handling the risk management and computing the optimal order quantity.
How to Trade with the TRN Head and Shoulders Indicator
Identify the Pattern
Add the Head and Shoulders Pattern Indicator to your chart and look for the pattern on the asset and timeframe of your choice. The pattern is detected in real-time. If the pattern develops further in the next bars, then the indicator updates the pattern accordingly until a breakout is confirmed or the pattern becomes invalid.
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities that are still awaiting confirmation.
Check Pattern Statistics
The pattern statistics make it easy for you to see how successful a pattern is on the asset and timeframe you are watching. You should always check the statistics before entering a trade. The chart displays the statistics in the upper right corner. These statistics are categorized into two sections: "long" for inverse head and shoulders patterns and "short" for head and shoulders patterns.
In the initial columns, labeled as "short" and "long", the identified breakouts are further divided based on whether the risk-reward ratio (R) is below a specified value (< x) or equal to/greater than the specified value (>= x). The following columns represent the count of the events:
1. Occ. (Occurrence) categorized according to the values of R from the first column
2. TP1, TP2, TP3 (Take Profit) - targets 1, 2 and 3
3. SL (Stop Loss)
4. T/O (Time Out) - neither stop loss or targets where hit in a certain amount of time
Breakout – Entry, Stop Loss and Targets
The indicator automatically displays the entry price line (EP) in grey at the point where the price breaks through the neckline, indicating a breakout. Once a breakout has been confirmed, place a buy order near the EP level for a long position, or a sell order for a short position. Set your stop-loss at the price level of the red stop-loss line (SL) and set your take-profits at the price level of the green take-profit-lines (TP1, TP2, TP3).
Risk Management
The Head and Shoulders Pattern Indicator comes with a built-in risk management feature. Just go to the settings and scroll down to the section "Risk Management". Here you can enter your Account Size and the percentage you want to Risk when you enter a position after a pattern breakout.
In the "Trade Management" section, you have the option to define the minimum accepted risk-reward ratio for confirmed rectangles. This means that breakouts of patterns failing to meet the minimum risk-reward ratio will not be considered as confirmed signals. If a breakout gets confirmed, the indicator automatically calculates the position size (Quantity). You can read the quantity from the gray entry point line (EP), which is located to the right of the risk-reward ratio (R). Note that your risk-reward ratio (R) is calculated based on TP1.
Customization and Settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns at the same time. Adjust the Head and Shoulders Sizes in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes should be used for the Head and Shoulders pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss. Look for a tolerance level that leads to favorable statistics and focus on trading patterns with a proven performance history.
Finally, you have the flexibility to customize various visual elements, such as the color of the pattern and whether to display values like price, target, or risk-reward ratio on your chart. You can also choose where these values appear.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the Head and Shoulders Pattern Indicator utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. Furthermore, the detection of the ratios between the single swings is based on a dynamic volatility measurement similar to the ATR. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.

Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
If you use the default settings of the Harmonic Patterns Suite, TRN Bars Signal + Trend will be the breakout condition for the detected harmonic patterns.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. Furthermore, the detection of the ratios between the single swings is based on a dynamic volatility measurement similar to the ATR. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

AB=CD [Real-Time] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The AB=CD (Zeiierman) indicator is designed to automatically detect the ABCD pattern across any chart and timeframe as it unfolds. Activating when point C forms, it automatically draws the D line, giving traders immediate entry, stop-loss, and target signals.
The primary use of the ABCD pattern is to provide a structure to forecast where prices are likely to move next. It's grounded in the principle that history tends to repeat itself, and patterns in price movements are reflective of market psychology.
A simple yet powerful tool in the trader's toolkit, providing clear signals for entry, stop-loss, and profit-target levels, which are based on symmetrical price movements and Fibonacci mathematics. It is applicable in various markets including forex, stocks, and commodities.
█ How to Use
The ABCD pattern is one of the foundational chart patterns used in technical analysis. It's essentially a price structure where two price legs are equivalent in length. In other words, the distance price travels from A to B roughly equals the distance from C to D.
Trend Continuation: Suggests that after a pullback, the original market trend is likely to resume towards point D.
Entry Point: Typically at point C to capitalize on the movement towards D.
Profit Target: Set at point D, expected to mirror the length of the A to B leg.
Stop Loss: Placed just beyond point C to protect against pattern failure.
█ How It Works
The pattern is made up of three consecutive price swings:
AB: This is the first price leg. It can either be up or down.
BC: This is a corrective or retracement leg. If AB is up, BC will be down, and vice versa.
CD: This is the final price leg. It moves in the same direction as AB and is approximately equal in length.
The ABCD pattern algorithm identifies pivot points over a user-defined period, labeled as A, B, C, and D. These points are determined by finding the highest and lowest values (extremes) within the specified period. The direction of the pattern is then established based on the position of these extremes. Fibonacci retracement levels are calculated between these points to determine potential reversal zones (entry and stop levels) and extension levels (target zones). When the price crosses into these zones, the ABCD pattern becomes active, signaling potential trading opportunities.
█ Settings
Market Move: This setting allows traders to define the size of the market move they're interested in, ranging from small to traditional, to swing, or even a custom length. This adjusts the sensitivity and the period over which the ABCD pattern is detected.
Bias: Traders can set their bias to bullish, bearish, or both, which filters the patterns based on the anticipated market direction.
Entry Retracement: Defines the Fibonacci retracement level for potential entry points.
Stop Retracement: Sets the Fibonacci retracement level for stop loss placement.
Exit Retracement: Determines the Fibonacci extension level for the profit target.
Show Stoploss & Target: Toggles the display of stop loss and target lines on the chart.
Color Settings: Customize the colors for bullish and bearish patterns to improve visual distinction.

Flat Combo DetectorFlat Combo Detector (FCD)
Introduction:
The Flat Combo Detector is a unique tool crafted to aid traders in identifying potential trend reversals. Unlike standard indicators that primarily focus on moving averages or oscillators, the FCD bases its signals on specific candlestick patterns that manifest at crucial trend pivot points.
I use it mostly on OANDA:XAUUSD Gold
How It Works:
The logic of the Flat Combo Detector revolves around the formation of consecutive bearish and bullish candles with particular attributes:
Bearish to Bullish Transition:
Primary Candle : A bearish candle where the close is lower than the open and its close is equal to its low.
Following Candle: A bullish candle where the close is higher than the open, and the open approximates its low (within a user-defined tolerance).
Signal : A green triangle plotted below the price bar, indicating a potential shift from a bearish to bullish trend.
Bullish to Bearish Transition:
Primary Candle: A bullish candle where the close is higher than the open and equals its high.
Following Candle : A bearish candle where the close is lower than the open, and the open approximates its high (within a user-defined tolerance).
Signal : A red triangle plotted above the price bar, indicating a potential transition from a bullish to bearish trend.
Usage Guidance:
For traders unfamiliar with Pine Script, using this indicator is straightforward. Once added to the chart, look for the green and red triangle signals. A green triangle below a price bar suggests a possible bullish reversal, while a red triangle above a price bar hints at a potential bearish reversal. Always consider these signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and the broader market context to optimize decision-making.
Associated Strategy:
I've also developed a trading strategy that utilizes these specific entry points identified by the FCD. If you find the signals from this indicator helpful, you might also be interested in exploring the strategy for a comprehensive trading approach. Always remember to backtest and validate any strategy before live trading.
Chart Presentation:
The published chart associated with this script has been kept clean to ensure clarity. Users will only observe the main price bars/candles along with the green and red triangle signals generated by the FCD.
Conclusion:
The Flat Combo Detector provides traders with a fresh perspective on trend reversal points. Its focus on specific candlestick patterns makes it a valuable tool, especially when used in combination with other technical indicators. Always ensure to practice prudent risk management and consult multiple analysis methods before making trading decisions.
Candles In Row (Expo)█ Overview
The Candles In Row (Expo) indicator is a powerful tool designed to track and visualize sequences of consecutive candlesticks in a price chart. Whether you're looking to gauge momentum or determine the prevailing trend, this indicator offers versatile functionality tailored to the needs of active traders. The Candles In Row indicator can be an integral part of a multi-timeframe trading strategy, allowing traders to understand market momentum, and set trading bias. By recognizing the patterns and likelihood of future price movements, traders can make more informed decisions and align their trades with the overall market direction.
█ How to use
The indicator enhances traders' understanding of the consecutive candle patterns, helping them to uncover trends and momentum. Consecutive candles in the same direction may indicate a strong trend. The Candles In Row indicator can be an essential tool for traders employing a multiple timeframes strategy.
Analyzing a Higher Timeframe:
Understanding Momentum: By analyzing consecutive green or red candles in a higher timeframe, traders can identify the prevailing momentum in the market. A series of green candles would suggest an upward trend, while a series of red candles would indicate a downward trend.
Predicting Next Candle: The indicator's predictive feature calculates the likelihood of the next candle being green or red based on historical patterns. This probability helps traders gauge the potential continuation of the trend.
Setting the Trading Bias: If the likelihood of the next candle being green is high, the trader may decide to focus on long (buy) opportunities. Conversely, if the likelihood of the next candle being red is high, the trader may look for short (sell) opportunities.
In this example, we are using the Heikin Ashi candles.
Moving to a Lower Timeframe:
Finding Entry Points: Once the trading bias is set based on the higher timeframe analysis, traders can switch to a lower timeframe to look for entry points in the direction of the bias. For example, if the higher timeframe suggests a high likelihood of a green candle, traders may look for buy opportunities in the lower timeframe.
Combining Timeframes for a Comprehensive Strategy:
Confirmation and Alignment: By analyzing the higher timeframe and confirming the direction in the lower timeframe, traders can ensure that they are trading in alignment with the broader trend.
Avoiding False Signals: By using a higher timeframe to set the trading bias and a lower timeframe to find entries, traders can avoid false signals and whipsaws that might be present in a single timeframe analysis.
█ Settings
Price Input Selection: Choose between regular open and close prices or Heikin Ashi candles as the basis for calculation.
Data Window Control: Decide between displaying the full data window or only the active data. You can also enable a counter that keeps track of the number of candles.
Alert Configuration: Set the desired number and color of consecutive candles that must occur in a row to trigger an alert.
Table Display Customization: Customize the location and size of the display table according to your preferences.

Pattern Forecast (Expo)█ Overview
The Pattern Forecast indicator is a technical analysis tool that scans historical price data to identify common chart patterns and then analyzes the price movements that followed these patterns. It takes this information and projects it into the future to provide traders with potential price actions that may occur if the same pattern is identified in real-time market data. This projection helps traders to understand the possible outcomes based on the previous occurrences of the pattern, thereby offering a clearer perspective of the market scenario. By analyzing the historical data and understanding the subsequent price movements following the appearance of a specific pattern, the indicator can provide valuable insights into potential future market behavior.
█ Calculations
The indicator works by scanning historical price data for various candlestick patterns. It includes all in-built TradingView patterns, credit to TradingView that has coded them.
Essentially, the indicator takes the historical price moves that followed the pattern to forecast what might happen next.
█ Example
In this example, the algorithm is set to search for the Inverted Hammer Bullish candlestick pattern. If the pattern is found, the historical outcome is then projected into the future. This helps traders to understand how the past pattern evolved over time.
█ How to use
Providing traders with a comprehensive understanding of historical patterns and their implications for future price action allows them to assess the likelihood of specific market scenarios objectively. For example, suppose the pattern forecast indicator suggests that a particular pattern is likely to lead to a bullish move in the market. A trader might consider going long if the same pattern is identified in the real-time market. Similarly, a trader might consider shorting the asset if the indicator suggests a bearish move is likely, if the same pattern is identified in the real-time market.
█ Settings
