I can't believe I'm doing this.

I've spent the past two weeks looking through the forum searching for a particular thread.

Someone posted an indicator some time ago which used numbers to mark when a pattern was repeated. So for example, you see from left to right:

16, 8, 18, 12, 18, 4.

Those numbers are each under a set of bars, and basically the above sequence means the indicator saw pattern 16, pattern 8, pattern 18, pattern 12, pattern 18, and pattern 4. The two pattern 18s are very similar to each other and possibly are exact matches.

I'm sorry for cluttering up the forum with this thread, but I cannot find it.

maybe it is this one:

Nope, I don't see the numbers.

This indicator I'm trying to find only paints those numbers identifying the patterns on the chart. There is a number maybe once every 20 bars or so.

If I'm not mistaken this was not on FF but on forex-tsd or some othre forum. They (some russian programmers) made some experiments with a SOM and implemented an indicator that classifies patterns and prints the number of the SOM cell that was hit. Search for "SOM" and/or "Kohonen"

Do you mean this one,kohonen moving average oscillator ?

This is exactly what I was looking for.
