vitorleite,
I was being slightly facetious
but quite frankly it is so easy to flip through the charts by eye - you can do this with Metastock & other software at about 1 every 1-2 seconds and just sort out what's worthy of further investigation. I do this for the FTSE350 once every week and it doesn't take long - especially when you get to know the "no-hopers".
Thomas Bulkowski has done quite a bit of work with computer matching of certain patterns - i found his stuff worth a read.
But i still reckon for practical purposes the eyeball is as good as anything - the brain's ability at pattern matching and recognition is incredible. I presume that's why some people can just look at a chart and "know" what will happen next in all probability. I certainly find it easy now to discard the "rubbish" by eye.
Hope you're successful with finding software. It's difficult to get an objective opinion - all the vendors reckon their stuff is marvellous (what a surprise!). If you kow the specific patterns you're looking for and you're not doing it real-time (ie you are using historic data) then it is possible to program it yourself if you have a rudimentary understanding. (Python open source or one of the Basics ?) I suppose if your're really clever and know about APIs etc and have a suitable data feed you could do it for real-time!
Please keep posting on the progress of your investigations.
