DislikedI have made a little interactive pattern design tool:

I made it in Python because the dynamic compiling and evaluation at runtime is much easier with a dynamic script language.
The pattern shape to the left will update while you are typing to the right.
copy&paste your findings into a text editor since it has no load and save functions. After you are finished with the function just port it from python to pascal to use it in the dll. Since this must not be done every day and the translation from python to pascal...Ignored

DislikedThere seems to be not much interest in this topic from the other programmers, what i cannot really understand.Ignored
QuoteDislikedThis is the first EA ever that i have seen in the forums or written myself that instantly made profit on the M1 chart during the very first test runs with arbitrary parameters for stop and target and a pattern function that i just made up out of nothing but thin air
function pattern(x: double): double; inline; begin ... end;
DislikedI'm going to rewrite patternmatcher.common and the pattern function itself in Pascal before i continue.
With the incredible slowness of mql4 it is almost impossible to do any reasonable number of backtests and parameter optimizations without dying from facioplegia before seeing any results. The only solution i see is having the pattern search with its two big nested loops running as optimized native machine code.
You will need to install Lazarus to modify the pattern functions and recompile the dll.Ignored
DislikedHi 7Bit
I get the following error when trying to run your DLL version in the TesterIgnored
DislikedYou must allow dll calls in the EA settings dialog. You can enable them per individual EA or globally for all EAs in the Metatrader settings. They are disabled by default.Ignored
DislikedExcuse my arrogance, 7bit, but I don't understand why re-invent the wheel? ZUP indicator perfectly identifies Larry Pasavento's patterns on all time frames which believed to be profitable. Why not take that indicator and create an EA from it (I'm pretty sure a few already exist). Do you think you could manually match the patterns better? I must be missing something here.Ignored

DislikedIt's an entirely different concept. The ZUP indicator measures the ratio of distances of certain zigzag corners and can only find such type of patterns.
My dll scans for a certain (predefined but exchangeable) sequence in close prices as described in Post #1 which is an entirely different concept, it is able to find entirely different classes of patterns. It certainly cannot find all Pasavento patterns with a single pattern definition, but on the other side it can be programmed to find patterns whose shape could never be described by Pasavento's...Ignored
DislikedYes, both things sound familiar. The part with the PNN and the "didn't work" part even more ;-)
So many things didn't work, but i still keep trying and *some* things already look promising. And while i keep trying to find the mechanical grail my manual trading slowly but constantly improves. :-)Ignored
