Pattern recognition concept

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
I'm trying to wrap my head around a concept. I think the solution could be solved by using a loop, but I'm not good at loops so I hoping I can get some help.
If someone were trying to identify say a head and shoulders pattern over and over again through the course of a month and each occurrence needed to be labelled and accessed as it's own unique instance, how would one go about doing this?
Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Once you have created your condition to identify the head and shoulders pattern, you could use an "if" statement to draw an object where the pattern occurred. As far as labeling each occurrence as a unique instance, you could use an increment operator that would increase each time the loop executed and draw that number on your chart.

I have located this indicator in the downloads section of the forum to get you started. It looks like all of the logic should already be there to locate the patterns, and you would only need to customize it to treat each occurrence as unique.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks Josh, I'm also trying to create an indicator that only shows a specific type of cup and handle pattern. There's lots of requirements so it's a bit tricky.
