Pro Trading Art - Head And ShouldersHow the Script Works:
1. The script identifies potential Head and Shoulders patterns by searching for specific pivot highs and pivot lows in the price data.
2. It checks for the presence of a left shoulder, head, and right shoulder based on the conditions defined in the script.
3. If a valid Head and Shoulders pattern is found, the script plots lines and labels on the chart to visualize the pattern.
4. The script also identifies Inverted Head and Shoulders patterns using similar logic but with different conditions.
5. It plots lines and labels for the Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern.
6. The script generates short and long conditions based on the patterns. Short conditions trigger when the close price crosses below the neck level of a Head and Shoulders pattern, while long conditions trigger when the close price crosses above the neck level of an Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern.
7. It plots sell and buy signal shapes on the chart when the short and long conditions are met, respectively.
8. The script can also trigger alerts to notify the user when a valid Head and Shoulders or Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern is detected.
9. The script provides visual cues on the chart to help users identify potential trading opportunities.
10. The logic and parameters of the script can be modified by the user to customize the behavior and adapt it to different trading strategies.
How Users Can Make Profit Using This Script:
1. Identify potential short-selling opportunities: When a valid Head and Shoulders pattern is detected and a short condition is met, it indicates a potential trend reversal. Traders can consider opening short positions to profit from a downward price movement.
2. Identify potential long-buying opportunities: When a valid Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern is detected and a long condition is met, it suggests a potential trend reversal. Traders can consider opening long positions to profit from an upward price movement.
3. Combine with additional analysis: Users can utilize this script as a tool in their overall trading strategy. They can combine the signals generated by the script with other technical indicators, fundamental analysis, or market sentiment to make more informed trading decisions.
4. Define appropriate entry and exit points: Traders can use the lines and labels plotted by the script to determine entry and exit points for their trades. For example, they may choose to enter a short position after the price crosses below the neck level and exit when the price reaches a predetermined target or when the pattern is invalidated.
5. Set risk management measures: It is important for users to implement proper risk management strategies when trading based on the script's signals. They should define stop-loss orders to limit potential losses if the trade goes against them and consider setting profit targets to secure profits when the trade moves in their favor.

Pivot Highs&lows: Short/Medium/Long-term + Spikeyness FilterShows Pivot Highs & Lows defined or 'Graded' on a fractal basis: Short-term, medium-term and long-term. Also applies 'Spikeyness' condition by default to filter-out weak/rounded pivots
ES1! 4hr chart (CME) shown above, with lookback = 15; clearly identifying the major highs & lows on the basis of how they are fractally 'nested' within lesser Pivots.
-- in the above chart Short term pivot highs (STH) are simply represented by green 'ʌ', and short-term pivot lows (STL) are simply represented by orange 'v'.
//Basics: (as applying to pivot highs, the following is reversed for pivot lows)
-Short term highs (STH) are simple pivot highs, albeit refined from standard with the 'spikeyness' filter.
-Medium-term highs (MTH) are defined as having a lower STH on either side of them.
-Long-term highs (LTH) are defined as having a lower MTH on either side of them.
//Purpose:
-Education: Quick and easy visualization of the strength or importance of a pivot high or low; a way of grading them based on their larger context.
-Backtesting: use in combination with other trading methods when backtesting to see the relative significance and price sensitivity of LTHs/LTLs compared to lower grade highs and lows.
//Settings:
-Choose Pivot lookback/lookforward bars: One setting, the basis from which all further pivot calculations are done.
-Toggle on/off 'Spikeyness' condition to filter-out weak/rounded/unimpressive pivot highs or lows (default is ON).
-Toggle on/off each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL; and choose label text-styles/colors/sizes independently.
-Set text Vertically, horizonally, or simply use 'ʌ' or 'v' symbols if you want to declutter your chart.
//Usage notes:
-Pivots take time to print (lookback bars must have elapsed before confirmation). Fractally nested pivots as here (i.e. a LTH), take even longer to print/confirm, so please be patient.
-Works across timeframes & Assets. Different timeframes may require slightly tweaked lookback/forward settings for optimal use; default is 15 bars.
Example usage with just symbolic labels short-term, med-term, long-term with 1x, 2x and 3x ʌ/v respectively:
Chart pattern - Head and ShouldersThis script identifies the Head and Shoulders chart pattern as well as the reversed Head and Shoulders chart pattern.
It has many settings. For example, you can choose by what points you want to identify patterns - along the edges of wicks (tails, shadows), or along the edges of candle bodies .
In addition, there are several settings with which you can determine the parameters of the detected patterns - the length and ratio of the lines included in it.
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.
You can also customize your styles.
All key settings are accompanied by tooltips.
Head and Shoulders - Quasimodo etc Pattern Recognition RENKODisclaimer: Only use this pattern recognition on a RENKO chart. Renko charts plot different than traditional candles and therefore do not represent all price moves. There is a possibility of repainting while using ATR based renko charts so past results are not a 100% accurate representation of future results. Use this indicator as a part of your strategy and not as your only means of obtaining gains in the market.
Hello traders, it has been said time and time again that algorithmic software is unable to identify complex market structure like head and shoulders, quasimodo, triangle patterns and other methods humans use to base their trading decisions on. With this indicator I intend to completely crush that assumption and prove that it actualy is possible. Ofcourse an indicator is less likely to find all variation on a chart pattern and a human is probably still your best bet in finding these patterns early.
That is wy this indicator does not only use textbook patterns and has 7 variation on head and shoulders build into it. I will keep updating this indicator if I see it missed some crucial patterns. Right now it has a total of 38 patterns build into it with them being grouped under specific names. Feel free to turn off any pattern you do not like to see.
Renko patterns solve the problem of time and chaos in the markets which have been the biggest hurdle in pattern recognition software as the amount of variations to account for is just too great a number. With this script using renko it will soon be able to identify any pattern in the market and I plan to add Wyckoff to it in the future, right now I have a beta version of Wyckoff build into it but planning to add better version of it in the future. The amount of variations on Wyckoff is quite extreme so it will take a very long time to get an optimised Wyckoff identification system.
If you do not want to miss patterns I recommend to use a multi chart aproach so that you can find patterns in multiple renko brick sizes at the same time to find more entrys.
Feel free to comment any pattern you want me to add and let's make the most dedicated pattern recognition software on this platform.
