Dato896 · Jul 26, 2024

"Chart Patterns All in One" indicator combines multiple chart patterns into a single, unified tool for MetaTrader 4 (MT4). It provides the functionality to toggle each pattern on or off directly from the chart, allowing for customizable and efficient analysis. Here is a detailed description of the indicator and the patterns it includes:

Patterns Included:

Pattern 1-2-3
- Description: This pattern is used to identify potential reversals in the market. It looks for a sequence of three points (highs or lows) that signal a change in the trend.
- Signals:
  - Buy signal: Formed when there are two consecutive lows with the second low higher than the first, followed by a high lower than the previous high.
  - Sell signal: Formed when there are two consecutive highs with the second high lower than the first, followed by a low higher than the previous low.
- Visualization: Draws lines connecting the points of the pattern on the chart and places arrows at the completion points.
Double Top and Bottom
- Description: This pattern helps identify potential reversal points where the price forms two consecutive highs (Double Top) or lows (Double Bottom) that are approximately equal, indicating a possible reversal.
- Signals:
  - Double Top: Bearish reversal signal.
  - Double Bottom: Bullish reversal signal.
- Visualization: Draws lines connecting the tops or bottoms and places arrows at the reversal points.
Triple Top and Bottom
- Description: Similar to the Double Top and Bottom, but with three consecutive highs or lows. This pattern is considered stronger than the Double Top and Bottom.
- Signals:
  - Triple Top: Bearish reversal signal.
  - Triple Bottom: Bullish reversal signal.
- Visualization: Draws lines connecting the tops or bottoms and places arrows at the reversal points.
Triangles
- Description: Triangles are continuation patterns that signal a period of consolidation before the price continues in the direction of the prevailing trend. This indicator identifies ascending, descending, and symmetrical triangles. As it is based on the ZigZag indicator, sometimes the triangles can appear on the chart a few bars back. This happens because the ZigZag indicator draws its lines a little later than the peak occurred. However, this does not happen often.
- Signals:
  - Ascending Triangle: Bullish continuation signal.
  - Descending Triangle: Bearish continuation signal.
  - Symmetrical Triangle: Continuation signal that can break in either direction.
- Visualization: Draws the triangle shapes on the chart and places arrows at the breakout points.
Splash and Shelf
- Description: This pattern identifies sudden spikes in price (splash) followed by periods of consolidation (shelf). It's useful for spotting potential breakouts or reversals.
- Signals:
  - Splash: Indicates a sharp movement in price.
  - Shelf: Indicates a consolidation phase after a splash.
- Visualization: Draws trend lines for the splash and horizontal lines for the shelf.
Flag and Pennant
- Description: Flags and pennants are short-term continuation patterns that signal a brief pause in the prevailing trend before it continues.
- Signals:
  - Bullish Flag: Bullish continuation signal.
  - Bearish Flag: Bearish continuation signal.
  - Pennant: Continuation signal that forms a small symmetrical triangle.
- Visualization: Draws flag and pennant shapes on the chart and places arrows at the breakout points.
