Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if someone had tried to develop indicators based on chart patterns for NinjaTrader (or MultiCharts). In fact, I have seen a few indicators to detect flags and cup with handles but nothing really advanced except the following standalone tool from Bulkowski:
https://www.thepatternsite.com/patternz.html

It can detect the following patterns:
https://thepatternsite.com/id73.html

So I do not think a lot of people will enjoy to develop such indicators and I do not think it's easy.

But can someone point me out documentation to detect such patterns? What method would you use to detect such patterns?

Based on ZigZag? (but you miss rounded patterns), Based on OCR? Or something else?
Any idea?

Despite all the berating of academia by self-proclaimed experts, it's usually not a bad idea to search through the various journals.

Lo et al. (2000) is probably the best place to start. They also reference other papers you can dig up.

@Lornz can you recoommend some maths books to understand the maths in that paper you linked? I want to learn the maths but not sure where to start.

If you're interested in machine learning:

Stanford School of Engineering - Stanford Engineering Everywhere

https://www.coursera.org/course/ml

Learning From Data - Online Course

Calculus, probability and linear algebra should suffice.
Free Online Course Materials | Audio/Video Courses | MIT OpenCourseWare

Statistics 110: Probability | Harvard Video Course

I'm working my way through the Dover Books on Mathematics. Incredible stuff.
