Auto Chart Patterns

๐Ÿ“Š WHAT IS IT?
The Auto Chart Patterns indicator is an advanced geometric formation scanner that automatically detects and visualizes classical chart patterns using multi-timeframe swing point analysis. It identifies 14 different geometric formations including channels, wedges, and triangles by connecting swing highs and lows with trend lines, creating a comprehensive pattern recognition system.

๐ŸŽฏ WHAT IS IT FOR?
This indicator helps traders to:

  • Automatically detect 14 classic chart patterns (channels, wedges, triangles) ๐Ÿ“
  • Identify potential breakout zones before they occur โšก
  • Visualize market structure through geometric price relationships ๐Ÿ”
  • Trade continuation and reversal patterns with visual confirmation โœ…
  • Filter patterns by trend direction and final pivot type ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ
  • Analyze multiple swing timeframes simultaneously for confluence ๐ŸŒŠ

๐Ÿ” HOW DOES IT WORK?

Swing Point Detection System ๐Ÿ“
The indicator uses up to four independent swing detectors running simultaneously, each with configurable sensitivity:

  • Detection Logic:
    • Monitors price highs and lows over a rolling window (Period).
    • Identifies local peaks (swing highs) and troughs (swing lows).
    • Confirms swings only after a minimum depth requirement is met (prevents noise).
    • Swing High: Price makes the highest high in the Period, then falls for MinDepth bars.
    • Swing Low: Price makes the lowest low in the Period, then rises for MinDepth bars.
  • Four Swing Layers:
    • Primary Swing (Default: Length 8, Depth 55) - Long-term structure ๐Ÿ”ต
    • Secondary Swing (Default: Length 13, Depth 34) - Medium-term structure ๐ŸŸข
    • Tertiary Swing (Default: Length 21, Depth 21) - Short-term structure ๐ŸŸก
    • Quaternary Swing (Default: Disabled) - Custom timeframe ๐ŸŸฃ

Each detector can be enabled/disabled independently to focus on specific market structures.

Pattern Formation Process ๐ŸŽจ

STEP 1 - PIVOT COLLECTION:

  • The system collects the 5 or 6 most recent swing points from any active detector.
  • Points must alternate between highs and lows (zigzag structure).
  • Example 5-point: High โ†’ Low โ†’ High โ†’ Low โ†’ High.

STEP 2 - TREND LINE CONSTRUCTION:

  • Separates pivots into upper points (swing highs) and lower points (swing lows).
  • Draws two trend lines: upper boundary and lower boundary.
  • For 3-point boundaries: Tests 3 combinations (0-2, 0-1, 1-2) and selects the best fit โญ
  • Validates that trend lines don't penetrate candle bodies (only wicks allowed).
  • Calculates a fit score: lines must touch < 20% of bars between pivots.

STEP 3 - GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS:

  • Measures the angle relationship between the upper and lower boundaries.
  • Determines if the formation is Expanding (widening), Contracting (narrowing), or Parallel (constant width).
  • Identifies trend direction: Upward, Downward, or Neutral (horizontal).
  • Classifies into one of the 14 formation types based on geometry.

STEP 4 - VALIDATION & FILTERING:

  • Bar Proportion Check: Ensures swing spacing is proportional (prevents distorted patterns) โœ…
  • Overlap Prevention: Blocks new patterns that conflict with existing ones ๐Ÿšซ
  • Duplicate Check: Prevents redrawing the same pattern.
  • Final Pivot Filter: Only shows patterns ending with a specified pivot direction (Up/Down/Both).
  • Formation Type Filter: Enables/disables specific pattern categories.

STEP 5 - VISUALIZATION:

  • Draws upper and lower boundary lines in vibrant colors from a 12-color palette ๐ŸŽจ
  • Optionally displays zigzag swing lines connecting pivots (dotted blue).
  • Shows pivot numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) at each swing point.
  • Labels the formation with the pattern name at the final pivot.
  • Color-codes the background behind the label for clarity.

๐Ÿ“ THE 14 DETECTED FORMATIONS

CHANNELS (Parallel Formations) ๐Ÿ“ฆ

  1. Ascending Channel (Upward Parallel) ๐Ÿ“ˆ
    • Both boundaries slope upward at a similar angle.
    • Indicates a bullish continuation trend.
    • Trade: Buy at the lower boundary, sell at the upper boundary.
  2. Descending Channel (Downward Parallel) ๐Ÿ“‰
    • Both boundaries slope downward at a similar angle.
    • Indicates a bearish continuation trend.
    • Trade: Sell at the upper boundary, buy at the lower boundary.
  3. Ranging Channel (Lateral/Horizontal) โ†”๏ธ
    • Both boundaries are nearly horizontal.
    • Indicates consolidation or indecision.
    • Trade: Range-bound strategy, buy support/sell resistance.

EXPANDING WEDGES (Broadening Formations) ๐Ÿ“ฃ
4. Rising Wedge (Expanding) โš ๏ธ
* Both boundaries slope upward, with a widening gap.
* Bearish reversal pattern - price losing upward momentum.
* Trade: Wait for lower boundary break, enter short.
5. Falling Wedge (Expanding) โš ๏ธ
* Both boundaries slope downward, with a widening gap.
* Bullish reversal pattern - price losing downward momentum.
* Trade: Wait for upper boundary break, enter long.
6. Diverging Triangle (Broadening Triangle) ๐Ÿ”บ
* Upper boundary slopes up, lower boundary slopes down.
* High volatility expansion pattern.
* Trade: Extremely risky, wait for a clear directional break.
7. Ascending Triangle (Expanding) ๐Ÿ“Š
* Upper boundary horizontal, lower boundary slopes up.
* Bullish continuation with an expanding range.
* Trade: Buy upper boundary breakout.
8. Descending Triangle (Expanding) ๐Ÿ“Š
* Lower boundary horizontal, upper boundary slopes down.
* Bearish continuation with an expanding range.
* Trade: Sell lower boundary breakdown.

CONTRACTING WEDGES (Converging Formations) ๐Ÿ”ป
9. Rising Wedge (Contracting) ๐Ÿ”บ
* Both boundaries slope upward, with a narrowing gap.
* Bearish reversal pattern - bullish exhaustion โš ๏ธ
* Trade: Short on lower boundary break.
10. Falling Wedge (Contracting) ๐Ÿ”ป
* Both boundaries slope downward, with a narrowing gap.
* Bullish reversal pattern - bearish exhaustion โš ๏ธ
* Trade: Long on upper boundary break.

CONTRACTING TRIANGLES (Consolidation Formations) โ–ณ
11. Converging Triangle (Symmetric Triangle) โš–๏ธ
* Upper boundary slopes down, lower boundary slopes up at a similar rate.
* Neutral consolidation - continuation pattern.
* Trade: Wait for breakout direction, trade accordingly.
12. Descending Triangle (Contracting) ๐Ÿ“
* Lower boundary horizontal (support), upper boundary slopes down.
* Bearish continuation pattern ๐Ÿ”ด
* Trade: Short on support break with volume.
13. Ascending Triangle (Contracting) ๐Ÿ“
* Upper boundary horizontal (resistance), lower boundary slopes up.
* Bullish continuation pattern ๐ŸŸข
* Trade: Long on resistance break with volume.
14. Invalid/Unknown โŒ
* Patterns that don't meet geometric criteria.
* Filtered out automatically.

bad entries stand out faster, but the tool is just one part of the process.
January 15, 2026
Auto Chart Patterns automatically detects classic chart formations and helps speed up market analysis. Works best on M15 and higher timeframes. On lower TFs patterns can be noisy, so filtering is required. A useful idea generator, not a standalone system.
