What it does

One detector for the whole classic-pattern playbook: double and triple tops/bottoms, head & shoulders (and inverse), ascending / descending / symmetrical triangles, rising / falling wedges, rectangles, and flags & pennants. It reads your chart's swing structure, finds whichever pattern is forming, draws its trendlines or neckline, and only fires on a confirmed close through the trigger level — targeting the measured move (the pattern's height projected from the break). Pattern reads are informational and never guaranteed.

How it works

  1. 1Scan the chart's swing pivots for any of the classic patterns.
  2. 2Draw the pattern that's forming — its trendlines or neckline.
  3. 3Wait for a confirmed close through the trigger level (no early guessing).
  4. 4On the break, fire the signal with an ATR-buffered stop and a measured-move target.
