Patterns

Every pattern here is a rule over stored candles, written out step by step below. Pick a name and a candle size, then one pattern to test — or let the library look for anything in progress. A hit is an observation of what the candles just did; what followed the earlier hits on the same name is counted and shown beside it, every hit included. For what the candles in progress say about the coming hours and days, open the outlook; to be told when a pattern completes, sign in and tap Alert me on any card.

Last seen Mon 19 Dec 2022

The most recent hit of Trend line: slope, length, strength on the daily candles completed at Mon 19 Dec 2022, 7 sessions ago, an up reading. It held for 2 sessions, through Mon 09 Jan 2023. It is not in progress now. Since then the close has moved -13.33% to 0.65.

What the candles did

Over the last 20 candles the fitted line rises 2.56% per candle with R² 0.80; 18 candles since the low of the window, +66.67% from it, but the last close has slipped from the line.

Where it stands on the latest candle

Slope +0.92% per candle (up), R² 0.28 (choppy), 18 candles from the window's low, +18.18% from it; the last close is off the line.

What this pattern is taken to mean

The straight-line fit through the last N closes: how steep, how long, how clean. This is the slope/length/strength reading (R6) and a version of the 20-candle rule that fires on a clean run even when one close in the middle dipped.

What followed on this name's own record

After 7 earlier hits on this name's daily candles, the close 10 sessions later went the hit's own way (up after an up reading, down after a down one) 1 times of 7 (14%). Median move in the hit's direction -14.29%; best +22.22%, worst -26.67%. Within the window the move typically reached +22.22% in the hit's favour and -22.22% against it.

The rule, exactly as checked · n = 20, min_slope_pct = 0.25, min_r2 = 0.8
  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.

Where it stands on the latest candle

One swing up under way from 0.60; nothing to count as an impulse yet.

Five alternating swings that obey the three classical impulse rules. A count, not a prophecy: the same swings can be counted more than one way, and this is the plain mechanical reading.

  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.

What each pattern checks, in the order the code checks it, with the parameters and their defaults for daily candles. The "meaning" is the convention the pattern is named for, stated as a convention; whether it held on a given name is what the test above measures.

Runs, breaks and structure

Rules on closes, highs and lows alone. Plain to state, plain to check.
N consecutive rising candles · reading up · any candleA momentum run: every close above the one before it for N candles. The owner's first example. Conventionally read as buyers in control for as long as it lasts.
  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.

  2. Count a streak: +1 when this close is below 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: the current streak against N.
n = 5

Higher highs and higher lows · reading up · any candleUptrend structure: each swing high above the last and each swing low above the last. Read as a trend that is still being confirmed by its pullbacks.
  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.

  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).

Indicator-based

Rules on a derived line: moving averages, VWAP, volume, RSI, Bollinger bands.
Moving-average cross · reading up or down · any candleThe faster simple average crossed the slower one. Read as the near-term average price overtaking (or falling behind) the longer one.
  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.

Volume spike · reading up or down · any candleOne candle traded many times the recent average volume. Read as attention arriving; the candle's colour says which way it leaned.
  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.

RSI into overbought / oversold · reading up or down · any candleWilder's RSI crossed into the overbought zone (reported as a 'down' observation: stretched) or the oversold zone ('up': washed out).
  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.

Bollinger squeeze, then a break · reading up or down · any candleThe bands had narrowed to their tightest in a while, then the close left them. Read as a quiet stretch ending.
  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.

Trend and waves

The fitted trend line and the swing count. A wave count is a reading of the swings, not a prophecy.
Trend line: slope, length, strength · reading up or down · any candleThe straight-line fit through the last N closes: how steep, how long, how clean. This is the slope/length/strength reading (R6) and a version of the 20-candle rule that fires on a clean run even when one close in the middle dipped.
  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.

Impulse wave (five swings, Elliott-style) · reading up or down · any candleFive alternating swings that obey the three classical impulse rules. A count, not a prophecy: the same swings can be counted more than one way, and this is the plain mechanical reading.
  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.
swing_pct = 4

Indicator definitions: SMA(n) is the mean of the last n closes. RSI(n) is Wilder's — average gain over average loss, smoothed by (previous × (n−1) + now) / n. ATR(n) is the Wilder-smoothed mean of the true range. Bollinger bands are SMA(n) ± k standard deviations of the same n closes. VWAP is Σ(typical price × volume) / Σ volume within the session, typical price = (high + low + close) / 3. The trend line is ordinary least squares on close against candle index. Swings come from a zigzag that confirms a pivot once price has moved the swing size against it.
