1. Walk the candles in order.
2. Count a streak: +1 when this close is above the previous close, back to 0 otherwise.
3. The pattern completes on the candle where the streak first reaches N.
4. Report the move from the close before the run to the close that completed it.
5. Progress: how long the current streak is against N, and whether the last close is still rising.

n = 5

Consecutive rising closes (N) — The owner's momentum-run example uses 20.

1. Find swing highs and lows with the zigzag: a pivot is confirmed once price has moved swing_pct against it.
2. Take every window of 2×swings+1 consecutive confirmed pivots.
3. Require each swing high in the window above the previous swing high, and each swing low above the previous swing low.
4. The pattern completes on the candle where the last pivot in the window was confirmed.
5. The last swing low is reported as the level the structure stands on.

swings = 2

Higher highs / higher lows required

swing_pct = 3

Minimum swing size, % — Smaller on intraday candles.

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. At the first candle of each session, compare its open with the last close of the previous session.
2. Gap % = open / previous close − 1.
3. The pattern completes when |gap %| ≥ pct; direction is the gap's sign.
4. On daily candles this is simply open vs the previous day's close.

pct = 1

Minimum gap, %

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. For each candle, take the close M candles earlier.
2. Move % = close now / close then − 1.
3. The pattern completes when |move %| ≥ pct; direction is the sign.
4. Consecutive candles that all qualify in the same direction count once, at the first of them.

pct = 2

Minimum move, %

candles = 3

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Take the level you entered.
2. The pattern completes on a candle whose close is at or above the level while the previous close was below it (up), or at or below it while the previous close was above (down).
3. Nothing is reported until a level is set.

level = 0

Your level, ₹ — Required — leave at 0 and this pattern reports nothing.

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Take three consecutive candles: mother, inside, break.
2. Inside: its high ≤ mother high and its low ≥ mother low.
3. The pattern completes when the third candle closes above the mother high (up) or below the mother low (down).

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Compute SMA(fast) and SMA(slow) of the closes.
2. The pattern completes on a candle where fast was ≤ slow on the previous candle and is > slow now (up), or ≥ before and < now (down).
3. fast must be smaller than slow, else nothing is reported.

fast = 9

Fast average, candles

slow = 21

Slow average, candles

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Average the volume of the previous M candles (those that reported one).
2. The pattern completes when this candle's volume ≥ times × that average.
3. Direction is the candle's own: up if it closed above its open, down if below, neutral if flat.

times = 3

Multiple of the average

candles = 20

Average over this many candles (M)

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Compute RSI(n) from the closes (Wilder smoothing).
2. The pattern completes when RSI moves from below `high` to at or above it (overbought → down), or from above `low` to at or below it (oversold → up).
3. Only the crossing candle is a hit, not every candle spent inside the zone.

n = 14

high = 70

low = 30

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Compute Bollinger bands: SMA(n) ± k × standard deviation of the last n closes; bandwidth = (upper − lower) / middle.
2. Squeeze: the smallest bandwidth in the last 6 candles is within 5% of the smallest over the last `squeeze` candles.
3. The pattern completes on a candle that closes above the upper band having been at or below it the candle before (up), or the mirror below the lower band (down), while squeezed.

n = 20

k = 2

squeeze = 60

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Fit a least-squares line through the last N closes (x = candle index).
2. Slope % = slope / mean close × 100, per candle. R² = share of the variance the line explains (1 = a ruler, 0 = chop).
3. Length = candles since the window's low (for a rising line) or high (falling). Magnitude = % from that extreme to the last close.
4. Continuing = the last close is on the slope's side of the fitted line, or the last three closes all moved with the slope.
5. The pattern completes when |slope %| ≥ min_slope_pct and R² ≥ min_r2; consecutive qualifying candles count once, at the first.
6. Progress always reports the current slope, R², length, magnitude and whether it is continuing.

n = 20

min_slope_pct = 0.25

Minimum slope, % per candle

min_r2 = 0.8

Test this pattern on CRESTO

1. Find swings with the zigzag at swing_pct.
2. Take six consecutive confirmed pivots L-H-L-H-L-H (up) or H-L-H-L-H-L (down).
3. Rule 1: wave 2 does not retrace past the start of wave 1.
4. Rule 2: wave 3 is not the shortest of waves 1, 3 and 5.
5. Rule 3: wave 4 does not enter the price territory of wave 1.
6. Each wave must make progress: 3 beyond 1, 5 beyond 3.
7. The pattern completes when the sixth pivot is confirmed. Progress reports 'wave 5 under way' when the first five pivots hold and the live swing is the fifth wave.
