db/dt [keypoems]Double Top / Double Bottom Marker
This indicator identifies classic double bottom/double top reversal patterns using pivot point analysis and breakout confirmation methodology, it also marks pivot based market structure shifts or flips.
WHAT IT DOES
The indicator detects two primary types of trading patterns:
1. Double Bottom/Top Patterns: Recognizes classic reversal formations where price creates two similar highs or lows before breaking the neckline
2. Market Structure Shifts (Flips): Identifies when price breaks through significant pivot levels indicating a potential trend change
HOW IT WORKS
Double Pattern Detection:
For double bottoms, the system identifies the first pivot low, then tracks the highest point between potential lows to establish the neckline level. It searches for a second pivot low within the specified price tolerance percentage of the first low. The pattern confirms when price breaks above the neckline. Double tops use the same logic but inverted, tracking the lowest point for the neckline and confirming on downward breaks.
Pattern Invalidation:
Double patterns are automatically invalidated if price creates new extremes beyond both pivot points before neckline confirmation occurs.
Flip Detection:
The algorithm uses a three-step process for each direction. For bullish shifts, it first identifies a pivot high using the specified left/right bar length parameters. It then waits for a subsequent pivot low that occurs after the pivot high. Finally, it confirms the shift when price closes above the original pivot high level. The bearish detection works inversely, starting with a pivot low, followed by a pivot high, and confirmed when price closes below the original pivot low.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
General Settings:
- Pivot High/Low Length: Controls the number of bars required on each side of a pivot point for validation
- Start Bar Index: Sets how many bars from the beginning of data to start pattern detection
- Time Filter: Optional start time to limit detection to specific periods
Double Pattern Settings:
- Separate pivot length controls for each pattern type
- Price Tolerance: Maximum percentage difference allowed between the two pivot points to qualify as a double pattern (0.1% to 20%)
- Individual start bar settings for each pattern type
Visual Controls:
- Toggle display for bullish flips, bearish flips, double bottoms, and double tops
- Optional text labels for each pattern type
- Sweep/Mitigation classification labels that distinguish between patterns where the second pivot sweeps beyond the first versus those that hold within tolerance
VISUAL PRESENTATION
Market structure shifts display as triangular markers above or below price with connecting lines that extend from the original pivot point to the breakout confirmation bar. Double patterns appear as rectangular boxes that encompass both pivot points with pattern type labels. The boxes automatically size themselves based on the price range and bar spacing of the pattern.
Color coding uses green for bullish signals, red for bearish signals, blue for double bottoms, and orange for double tops. All visual elements can be individually enabled or disabled based on trading preferences.
UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
This indicator applies market structure theory which suggests that trend changes are often preceded by breaks of significant swing points. The double pattern recognition is based on classical technical analysis principles where price creates similar levels twice before reversing direction, indicating exhaustion of the prevailing trend.
The pivot point methodology ensures that only statistically significant highs and lows are considered, filtering out minor fluctuations that might create false signals. The confirmation requirement prevents premature signals during consolidation phases.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Market structure shifts help identify potential trend changes early in their development. Double patterns provide high-probability reversal setups with clear entry levels at neckline breaks and logical stop placements beyond the pattern extremes.
The price tolerance setting allows adaptation to different market volatility conditions. Tighter tolerances work better in stable markets while looser tolerances accommodate more volatile instruments.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator works best in trending markets and may produce less reliable signals during extended sideways consolidation periods. The pivot-based approach means signals occur with some delay after actual market turns, as confirmation requires subsequent price action.
Users should be aware that the indicator plots historical patterns and breakout confirmations. Real-time trading decisions should account for the lag inherent in pivot point calculation and pattern completion requirements.
The effectiveness of detected patterns may vary significantly across different timeframes, market conditions, and instrument types. Combining these signals with additional analysis methods and proper risk management is recommended for practical trading applications.
Double pattern detection requires sufficient price history and bar spacing to properly identify and validate formations. Very short timeframes or instruments with limited volatility may not generate frequent pattern signals.
All pattern recognition is based on historical price data and does not guarantee future performance. Market conditions, fundamental factors, and external events can invalidate technical patterns regardless of their historical reliability.

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 .

█ 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

📈 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.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER

Double Tops & Bottoms [QuantVue]This indicator is designed to detect and plot Double Tops and Double Bottoms, by setting the initial high or low using standard pivot points.
Double Tops
A Double Top is a bearish reversal pattern, typically found when an uptrend returns back to a prior peak. It signifies a potential turning point or resistance level and could potentially reverse in direction.
The pattern is confirmed as a Double Top when the price breaks above the resistance level, but closes below it. A decisive close below this level is seen as a confirmation of the bearish trend.
Double Bottoms
A Double Bottom, on the other hand, is a bullish reversal pattern typically found after a downtrend. It signals a potential turning point or support level where the price has bottomed and could potentially reverse upwards.
The pattern is confirmed as a Double Bottom when the price breaks below the support level, but closes above it. A decisive close above this level is viewed as a confirmation of the bullish trend.
Indicator Features
🔹Double Top Detection: When a double top is identified, a downward-pointing triangle will be plotted above the bar, and if the alerts are enabled, a notification will be triggered.
🔹Double Bottom Detection: When a double bottom is identified, an upward-pointing triangle will be plotted below the bar, and if the alerts are enabled, a notification will be triggered.
🔹Pivot Lookback: Defines the number of bars to the left and right of the pivot that must be lower/higher to qualify as a pivot.
🔹Maximum Length Between Tops/Bottoms: Maximum number of bars between two tops/bottoms to be considered a double top or bottom.
🔹Style Settings: Allows the user to customize the appearance of the lines indicating the tops/bottoms. Options include color selection, line style (dotted, dashed, or solid), and line thickness.

Indicator however names the patterns separately for bullish and bearish formations. So, the actual names you see on the screen are
Double Top
Double Bottom
Triple Top
Triple Bottom
Cup and Handle
Inverted Cup and Handle
Head and Shoulders
Inverse Head and Shoulders
Here is a snapshot on how each category of patterns look on the chart.
🎲 Architecture
Many of you may be cursing me for publishing too many libraries. But, these are all preparations for something big. Like other indicators in the Zigzag and Patterns Ecosystem, this too uses a bunch of libraries.

🎯Pattern Selection
Having all the patterns selected on chart may also cause timeouts and will make the chart look messy. It is better to limit one or two patterns on the chart to have clear picture.
🎯Scanner Settings
🎯Indicators.
These are options to use indicators as secondary confirmation to calculate divergence. If selected, the patterns are shown only if the divergence data is inline. Option also available to plugin external indicator. These calculations are not straightforward and not easy to measure by manual inspection. This feature at present is purely experimental.

Double top and double bottomThis script identifies double top and double bottom chart patterns
It has many settings. For example, you can choose by which extremums you want to identify patterns - by the edges of wicks (tails, shadows), or by the edges of candle bodies .
The Sensitivity parameter will allow you to control the frequency of detected patterns , depending on whether you want the patterns to be detected more often, or if they cover a larger number of candles and thus be more reliable.
There are also several settings which you can determine the parameters of the pattern - the length and proportions of the lines included in it .
You can also customize your styles.
All key settings are accompanied by tooltips
Pro Trading Art - Double Top & Bottom with alertThis indicator is based on ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow function. And with the help of different ph and pl I am detecting double top and double bottom.
Features
1. All signal are on realtime means no repaint
2. Able to detect precise double top & bottom
Input Field
Pivot Length : Default 10 => Use to detect pivot point
Genie (AB=CD Fibonacci Extensions and Peaks & Valleys)Our proprietary algorithm supports two types of Signals to choose from (and uses Matrices to keep track of the various waves): 'Fibonacci Extensions' where it spots extended waves (XABC) to predict AB=CD moves and puts the Take Profit levels accordingly to commonly used Fibonacci ratios; OR 'P&V' which stands for Peaks & Valleys (M and W) capturing full Peaks and Valleys formations to signal.
Signal Trigger for two types of positions: Breakout or Confirmation when price retraces back to them (so you wait for a candle to close away from price first to Trigger). The idea is whenever a proper Peak or Valley matching those conditions is printed, price usually reacts at those levels by doing a Reversal, so they represent potential entries .
For Confirmation signals, you want price to close away from the level first to then return to it, and that candle close is either a Close (only the close should be outside the level), Hard Close (OPEN and CLOSE outside the level) or Full Close (HIGH, OPEN, CLOSE, LOW all outside the level).
Note that the Signal is to be taken as soon as a Green or Red arrow appears (not before), based on your desired settings.
The Level of Entry is decided by the user; 'Extreme' means you want the algorithm to process based on the Wicks/Pins (Highs and Lows of candles) so while 'Body' means the Borders (Open and Close of candles). Based on this choice the Signal will change accordingly.
The indicator also provides recommended Take Profit levels as well as a Stop Loss levels. The Take Profits are measured based on the wave structure formation.
All features are configurable from the indicator's settings including setting Minimum Take Profit and Reward:Risk (RR) to filter Signals.
This indicator has Alerts for LONG and SHORT signals. You can create a new Alert, select the indicator from the "Condition" list and create it. You can create an Alert for each different timeframe if you want the indicator to monitor various timeframes and give you Alerts accordingly.
Double Top/Bottom - Ultimate (OS)This is zigzag based double top/bottom indicator. Code is same as : Double-Top-Bottom-Ultimate
But, republishing it to make it available open source.
Double Top:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if LH is followed by HH
Confirmation - When low crosses under last lower pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When high crosses over HH
Double Bottom:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if HL is followed by LL
Confirmation - When high crosses over last higher pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When low crosses under LL
Few input options:
Option to display risk per reward which defines how steep is the W-M triangle. This is simply the ratio of price difference between mid point to top most and bottom most points. In case of double top , downside is considered as reward and upside is considered as risk and with double bottom , downside is considered as risk and upside is considered as reward. Lower risk per reward signifies better trade.
Option to display stats which shows number of occurances of double top and bottom and how many times price crossed confirmation point and invalidation point (which are also marked with dashed lines) Stats are color coded. Higher confirmation rates are colored in shades of green, lower confirmation rates are colored in shades of orange whereas the neutral confirmation rates are coloed in light yellow.
Auto Harmonic Patterns - Open SourceI may not be able to spend much time on the harmonic patterns and realized that there are not much open source scripts on them either. Hence, decided to release open source version which can be used by other developers for reference and build things on top of it.
Original script is protected and can be found here:
Logical ratios of patterns are coded as below:
Notations:
Lines XABCD forms the pattern in all cases. (OXABCD in case of Three drives )
abc = BC retacement of AB, xab = AB retracement of XA and so on
ABCD Classic
0.618 <= abc <= 0.786
1.272 <= bcd <= 1.618
AB=CD
Price difference between AB and CD are equal
Time difference between AB and CD are equal
ABCD Extension

This script contains everything which original script has apart from stats. Use the original script if you are not developer looking for code reference and prefer having stats table.
I have also developed a strategy based on harmonic patterns which can be found here:
Double Top/Bottom - UltimateHellow traders, this is my final script regarding double top/bottom pattern recognition. This script is built based on zig zag indicator whereas the previous ones are built based on pivot points.
Double Top:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if LH is followed by HH
Confirmation - When low crosses under last lower pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When high crosses over HH
Double Bottom:
Recognition - Checks on Zigzag if HL is followed by LL
Confirmation - When high crosses over last higher pivot point on zigzag
Invalidation - When low crosses under LL
Few major changes in this version compared to previous ones:
Zigzag offers more simplicity in deriving the pattern and also enahnces accuracy. Things such as pivot distance, absolute peaks are removed as they are redundant.
Option to display risk per reward which defines how steep is the W-M triangle. This is simply the ratio of price difference between mid point to top most and bottom most points. In case of double top, downside is considered as reward and upside is considered as risk and with double bottom, downside is considered as risk and upside is considered as reward. Lower risk per reward signifies better trade.
Option to display stats which shows number of occurances of double top and bottom and how many times price crossed confirmation point and invalidation point (which are also marked with dashed lines) Stats are color coded. Higher success rates are colored in shades of green, lower success rates are colored in shades of orange whereas the neutral success rates are coloed in light yellow.
Example of stat shown in Neutral shade. I could not find any instrument which had confirmation rate less than 0.4 - which suggests confirmation rate for the patter is pretty strong:
Links for the other two scripts are here:
Double Top/Bottom V2This is an enhanced version of Double Top/Bottom detector.
Initial basic version can be found here:
Concept of deriving pattern is similar but there are few major changes.
Double Top:
Get the highest pivot high from last X pivot highs ( DTHigh1 )
Look for next top most pivot high which happened after DTHigh1 ( DTHigh2 )
Look for lowest pivot low between DTHigh1 and DTHigh2 ( DTLow )
Double Bottom:
Get the lowest pivot low from last X pivot lows ( DBLow1 )
Look for next lowest pivot low which happened after DBLow1 ( DBLow2 )
Look for highest pivot high between DBLow1 and DBLow2 ( DbHigh )
Other Key parameters:
checkForAbsolutePeaks and absolutePeakLoopback work together. When selected, double top and double bottom is formed only if DTHigh1 / DBLow1 are highest/lowest points from last absolutePeakLoopback bars back.
considerPivotDistance will make sure distance between Highs(in double top) and lows(in double bottom) are below 2 ( MaxAtrDistanceBase ) times ATR. And distance between average Highs/Lows to Low/High forming triangle is less than 6 ( MaxAtrDistanceHighLow ) times ATR. This will avoid showing steep triangles as double top/bottoms.
showLastLevels option allows users to display dashed lines on double top/bottom confirmation and invalidation levels for last formed double bottom and tops. These can be treated as strong support and resistence. Dashed lines are permanently formed on double top/bottom setups when an invalidation or confirmation occurs by price crossing either lowest or highest points of double top/bottom triangles.
Alerts:
Probable double top/bottom - when double top or bottom triangles formed.
Double top/bottom confirmation - when double top or bottom is confirmed.
Double top/bottom invalidation - when double top or bottom is invalidated.
Few important points about adjusting parameters:
Lower pivot lengths will generate more signals. But, too frequent signals may not be desirable as well.
higher absolutePeakLoopback will reduce number of signals while strengthening them.
Unchecking consider pivot distance or reducing MaxAtrDistanceBase/MaxAtrDistanceHighLow may considerably increase the number of pivots specially when pivot lengths are lower side. This may result in reduced quality of signals as well.
Moving average condition which is part of basic script is not included in this. We can add Hull Suite or moving average crossover on the chart as confirmation of strong signal.
Double Top/BottomHere is an attempt to identify double top/bottom based on pivot high/lows.
Logic is simple.
Double Bottom:
Last two pivot High Lows make W shape
Last Pivot Low is higher than previous Last Pivot Low.
Last Pivot High is lower than previous last Pivot High.
Price has not gone below Last Pivot Low
Price breaks out of last Pivot High to complete W shape
Double Top:
Last two pivot High Lows make M shape
Last Pivot Low is higher than previous Last Pivot Low.
Last Pivot High is lower than previous last Pivot High.
Price has not gone above Last Pivot High
Price breaks out of last Pivot Low to complete M shape
Prameters:
Parameters PvtLenL , PvtLenR and waitforclose determines pivot points.
FilterPivots clears repetitive pivots formed in same direction before calculating the possible double top/bottom.
For example:
CheckForAbsolutePeaks and AbsolutePeakLoopback works together. When CheckForAbsolutePeaks is enabled, script only generates double bottom or top signal if previous last pivot is absolute high or low for AbsolutePeakLoopback periods.
ConsiderMovingAverage does two things. First, it makes sure that fast moving average and slow moving averages are aligned with the direction we are going to forecast. Second, it makes sure that the crossover happend recently and with last BarCrossoverLimit bars. For example, to call it double bottom, Fast MA should be higher than Slow MA and crossover of FastMA above SlowMA should have happened in last 10 bars (BarCrossoverLimit)
PivotDisplayMode can be Actual, Filtered or None. Actual will display all pivot high low generated. Filtered will only display last 5 pivot high and pivot lows which are filtered . That means, it will remove the repetitive pivots formed without making pivots on the other side.
Welcome and suggestions and feedbacks.
Cup and Handle IndicatorThis is a Cup and Handle Indicator. Features include:
Can set alert at any point after handle starts rising before breakout
Can detect multiple tops before confirming cup and handle pattern, not just double.
Many settings to adjust to meet your exact requirements
The functionality of this indicator is very similar to my double top indicator , and inherits majority of the settings/inputs. Please try that indicator before using this one.
From Wikipedia: In the domain of technical analysis of market prices, a cup and handle or cup with handle formation is a chart pattern consisting of a drop in the price and a rise back up to the original value, followed first by a smaller drop and then a rise past the previous peak. It is interpreted as an indication of bullish sentiment in the market and possible further price increases.
The cup part of the pattern should be fairly shallow, with a rounded or flat "bottom" (not a V-shaped one), and ideally reach to the same price at the upper end of both sides. The drop of the handle part should retrace about 30% to 50% of the rise at the end of the cup. For stock prices, the pattern may span from a few weeks to a few years; but commonly the cup lasts from 1 to 6 months, while the handle should only last for 1 to 4 weeks.
The "cup and handle" formation was defined by William O'Neil"

Fluffykat's Double Top indicator with alert v1This is a free double top indicator with an alert that has many settings to customize your double top.
From Wikipedia "The double top is a frequent price formation at the end of a bull market. It appears as two consecutive peaks of approximately the same price on a price-versus-time chart of a market. The two peaks are separated by a minimum in price, a valley. The price level of this minimum is called the neck line of the formation. The formation is completed and confirmed when the price falls below the neck line, indicating that further price decline is imminent or highly likely."
The following can be customized:
The left and right bar strengths for both the Right Top (RT) and Left Top (LT). For an explanation on RT/LT bar strength see (pivothigh) tradingview pine script API notes.
The price variance in % between RT / LT
The minimum and maximum allowable separation between RT/LT
Ability to toggle visibility of prices

Cyatophilum Double Top & Bottom [ALERTSETUP]Private Indicator
Version Alpha
The indicator is subject to changes.
This indicator's goal is to help automatically find double top and double bottom patterns.
Its core algorithm uses purely price action and does not use any kind of overbought/oversold oscilator.
To be validated, a double top/bottom must be preceded by a simple top/bottom.
Parallel Channels
To be validated, a double top/bottom must be inside the top/bottom parallel channel. Channels will expire after some time. A channel's range is automatically calculated when changing timeframe or symbol. Channels can be used to trade breakouts after a double top/bottom happened.
Alerts
This indicator allows to create automated alerts in order to receive signals for an event. The available alerts are:
Double Bottom
Double Top
Simple Bottom
Simple Top
Send me a message if you would like to help me test the indicator.
Double Top Pattern IdentifierI believe the most of users know the Double Top Pattern, so I omit the introduction.
The algorithm uses 10 internal watchers to identify the incomplete M-pattern. If any of the watchers finds the pattern, the signal will be plotted on the chart. You can customize the lookback periods for the watchers as well as you can specify the precision of the difference between two possible tops.
By default, all watchers wait for bar closing to avoid repainting issues. You can switch off this option.
Additionally, you can shift up/down the signal labels to the preferred distance.
NOTE: the orange straight lines are not included.
Dav-o meter (public)I decided to make this formerly invite only script public (you can find the invite only version here
If you are part of the invite only you don't need to change scripts. I will push improvements first on the invite only script but in time it will come to this version as well.
I would love to know your ideas and thoughts on how this indicator can be improved, so feel free to give any feedback.
Remember to give it a thumbs up if you like it.
Triple Bollinger BandsI found myself using multiple bollinger bands a lot so I decided to add them all to one script and add the ability to adjust them by 0.2. It has helped me by not taking up as much space in the upper left corner as well as improving my in's and outs of trend continuation trades. If you manage to find a double top at +2 or greater deviation, and with a bearish divergence on the RSI as shown in this picture, GO SHORT SON! This was a fast and easy 35 - 40 pips and if you used your fibonacci for an exit you had little doubt of the final result and could have even been prepared for an immediate reversal knowing you were then at an oversold -2.8 deviation. I could go on and on........
