Cup and Handle chart patternThis script identifies chart patterns: Cup and Handle. At the same time, it identifies not only these classical patterns, but even a wider range of similar reverse figures .
It has many useful settings:
-- You can choose by which pivots you want to identify patterns - by the edges of wicks (tails, shadows), or by the edges of candle bodies.
-- You can set the minimum number of pivot points that the pattern must contain.
-- You can also set the minimum depth of the shapes. It is important for successful trading.
-- !!! Most importantly, I have added a very useful functionality for those who trade based on chart patterns. Unlike my previous scripts which only identified patterns, in this one I've added the functionality to filter out patterns that I think appear in the wrong places . It is the base level filter. It filters out many, but not all, patterns in inappropriate places. If you want to order the development of such functionality with great opportunities - please contact me.
-- In addition, you can set how "flat" relative to the horizon the identified patterns should be .
You can also customize your styles.

Cup & HandleHi, here is my take on 'Cup & Handle'
Pivot Points - ph (highest points in a certain period) are stored in an array
When there is a new ph , previous ph's are compared to the latest one.
A temporary test line is drawn between these 2 points.
The script checks if a close (between these 2 points) doesn't break above this test line.
(test line is deleted afterwards)
If it doesn't, and the '% max breaks' are not breached, 2 circle shaped lines are drawn
(Top & Bottom line of the cup) which forms the Cup, together with the Handle.
The red box (Handle) is the maximum 33-50% retracement (% of cup height)
-> Only the latest pattern is shown, enabling 'Show Cup labels' shows the position of cup patterns in history.
They can be visualised by using 'Bar Replay'
'% max breaks' -> 'maximum highs/lows breaking through the Top/Bottom line
(% of bars between left & right extreme points of the Cup)
Settings:
- 'Left', 'Right' -> regulates Pivot Point values
- 'PP back' -> max lookback for Pivot High
More explanation can be found in following print screens,
or by checking the tooltips in the settings
Cheers!
Cup FinderHello All,
This script finds the Cups and you can use it while analysing the symbols. it creates circle and channel for the potential Cups and checks the number of bars included by the channel, if included bars is equal or greater than the value you set then it shows the cup.
The Options:
"Number for Bars to search" : Maximum length of a Cup
"Channel Width of the Cup" : Tate by the channel width of highest/lowest levels in last 300 bars, by default it's 5%
"Check for Breakout" : if there is Cup then it checks Close or High/Low is used a source for breaokuts, usuful while cheking historical bars
"Contained Bar Rate %" : after channel is created the script checks number of bars included by the channel of the Cup, you can set rate of included bars by this option
"S how Channels of Cups ": if you enable this option then you can see the channels around the Cups and set it as you wish
and there are some other options for labeling/removing old Cups and for coloring
Here you can see how channel looks like:
Cup with different colors:
P.S. This is an experimental work and sorry for no explanation in the script.
in the future if I have time I will try to write a script for Cup&Handle
This script is also an example to calculate and draw circles :)
Enjoy!
