I do not have much time today, and I am away for a couple of days on Monday and Tuesday. Do you fancy playing around with this to see if you can make something out of it. B's code is up-to-date and I shall not be changing it, so feel free to incorporate any solutions you come up with into the code and post it here for people to play with.

Cheers

Yes I am playing around with this... I will post an indi when I get something worth showing.

I had this thread marked in my "subscribed threads" for "future-study-when-i-have-some-spare-time"...
I have no spare time , but i went back to read it and i think it can be of use here.

Perhaps this may help clarify what valid M and W are :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=210023

The PDf files linked in post 1 are very explicit.

Here are the basics (extract from "123system.pdf"):

Buy Signal pattern (right picture):

- Point 1 is the bottom
- Point 2 is the correction
- Point 3 is the retest that does NOT go beyond point 1; If it does then the pattern does not exist;

T1minator, this may be of help if you want to take this M/W-tracking task: the EA posted there has some interesting code to help qualify M's and W's: it uses ZigZag to find the HH / LL sequences, i think this has some legs here.
A ZigZag(5,1,1) seems to find the relevant highs and lows nicely.
The EA uses zz(2,1,1) as defaults, but that is probably too short/noisy.
Although zigzag repaints a lot, we are not interested in the last/repainting zz plot, but in the 3 previous ones, which are "locked" already:
these points are painting the first 3 segments of the M or W;
The currently repainting zz point/segment is the final leg of the forming M or W.

Attached is a 3_level_ZZ_semaphore indicator.
It plots 3 zigzags of different lengths, as extreme-points rather than segments, but what is useful in it, is the "zigzag()" function it contains.
This will save us the expensive iCustom() calls.

Hope this helps...

It most certainly does, it is a nice little embedded func, TY! I think the ZZ will be a nice filter for our pattern search.

Downloaded the updated version but still get constant alerts.

Quoting SteveHopwood
Yep. Typical Steve bloop. I included the variable to tell B not to send any more alerts, and the code to cancel this at the start of a new candle, but not the code to actually stop sending alerts after the first one.

Fix in post 1. Yell if this doesn't work; as I am not using this feature, I have not tested it.

K.I.S.S.

Downloaded the updated version but still get constant alerts.
Downloads do not always work. Please delete the ea from your system then re-download. If the problem persists, then shout out.

I ask you to do this because I cannot see what could cause this problem in the code, and so want to eliminate the possibility of faulty downloading before I drive myself nuts looking for a (possibly non-existent) fault.

That appears to be the issue. Faulty download. Now one signal and one alert. Thanks for the suggestion Steve

Ok it's a hack job, but I am drawing trend lines to make the last M or W shape.

We can now do some logic to determine which shape is forming if any.

This is very rough and many thanks to squalou for the zigzag function. Can't say I am real familiar with MT4 drawing functions, I think I can do a zigzag on the last 5 points instead of using the trend lines.

Hi CARLLOS
Please note Brijon is only using the EA to give alerts when a trading set up is identified and then he is entering and managing the trade manually. All his settings are default. This is the reason his results are better than yours.
Kind regards

Ok.. looking much better now, TY SQ!

What works pretty well
- ID and Confirmation of W and M patterns on 15M and above
all the time frames could use a look. I'm using a 0.1% difference in
the close of the humps/dips to ID the formation. This is to much
slop in the lower TFs
- I post a comment to indicate what is being formed or confirmed


Work to be done -
- I've tried to comment the code heavily, I need to condense the logic into a
couple function calls, it will be much easier to integrate into an EA.
- Integrate SQ's comments and edits

Comments and suggestions encouraged!

Just to be sure :

Which side are we looking for if we regognize a M and a W Formation ? M=short, W=long ? Or vice versa

Thanks

This is a coin toss without logic. When an EA open both EURUSD and USDCHF in same direction then something is wrong.

Just a question - (I have read the thread but just so i ma sure)

Once a w formation is drawn are we trading the up leg of the w or looking for set ups along this leg and continually looking for long set ups until a m formation is established. - If in a trade a down leg movement once the last part of the w leg is complete can be used as an exit

sorry if to everyone elese this is clear
