Pattern scanner

The scanner’s job is simple to say and hard to do: look at every chart in the US market, find the ones forming a classic shape, and draw that shape on the chart so you can judge it in seconds.

The pattern families

• Channels — price bouncing between two parallel lines, drifting up or down. Traders watch for the escape.
• Triangles & wedges — the bounces get tighter and tighter until something gives. The squeeze before the pop.
• Double & triple tops/bottoms — price knocks on the same door two or three times. If the door holds, it often reverses.
• Head & shoulders — three pushes, middle one highest (or lowest, upside-down). A classic sign a trend is tiring.
• Support & resistance lines — single levels the price keeps respecting, even without a full pattern.
