    Thanks for your replies , to test the code I need to add buy and sell condition.

    the code is for returning the values

     

    how to add to this buy and sell condintons

    example

    buy 1 perpoint at support stop

    sellsshort 1 perpoint at resistance stop

    Leo how will put this indicator into a automated system , buy on arrow up and sell on arrow down?

    Yes, right Nicolas! another way can be with a slope of a triangle between two maximums/minimus

    If we learn to analyse the history of the locals minimums and locals maximum, then we can detects not only doble top/bottoms but channels, triangles, even head and shoulders!!!

    And getting an issue that some minimums and maximum in certain cases are duplicated therefore cause a false signals of doble bottoms/top… anyway there is a lot work to do.

    No, we have the study how the arrows behave and get a profitable robot! 🙂

    Hi all,

    Here my first approximation… I feel very optimistic about this approach although there is a lot work to do (that’s why there is not algorithm to detects double bottom/tops yet )

    Please see the picture attached, the triangle is draw by the algorithm here:

    //LOCALS MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS
    
    Kdouble=0.1 //Factor for defining what is double top or bottom
    
    //Leo Moving Average, formula: LMA= WMA+(WMA-SMA)
    LMA=2*weightedaverage[period](close)-average[period](close)
    
    //Smoothed curve of Leo Moving Average
    IF BARINDEX > period THEN
    smoothLMA=weightedaverage[period](LMA)
    ELSE
    smoothLMA=undefined
    ENDIF
    
    // << Storage of minimums and maximums >>
    once mintemp=low
    once posmintemp=1
    once maxtemp=high
    once posmaxtemp=1
    
    IF BARINDEX>1 THEN
    // the value 0.75 is to ensure that the donchian channel is faster than the curves analysis (this value to be checked)
    IF low < lowest[round(0.75*period)](low[1]) THEN
    mintemp=low //minimum temporal
    posmintemp=BARINDEX //postition of minimum temporal
    ENDIF
    IF high > highest[round(0.75*period)](high[1]) then
    maxtemp=high //maximum temporal
    posmaxtemp=BARINDEX //position maximum temporal
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    
    //  << Detecting and locating a local minimums >>
    //  Where the LMA is crossing the smoothed LMA, there is a maximum or minimum nearby
    //  If there is a new local min/max, the preivus one is stored in de varible B... (before)
    once LEVMIN=low
    once POSLEVMIN=1
    once LEVMAX=high
    once POSLEVMAX=1
    
    IF LMA crosses over smoothLMA THEN
    BLEVMIN=LEVMIN        //previus local minimum is saved
    BPOSLEVMIN=POSLEVMIN
    LEVMIN=mintemp
    POSLEVMIN=posmintemp
    support=LEVMIN
    DRAWARROWUP(POSLEVMIN,LEVMIN) coloured(0,0,0,30)
    ENDIF
    
    // --> Detecting and locating a local maximum
    IF LMA crosses under smoothLMA THEN
    BLEVMAX=LEVMAX       //previus local maximum is saved
    BPOSLEVMAX=POSLEVMAX
    LEVMAX=maxtemp
    POSLEVMAX=posmaxtemp
    resistance=LEVMAX
    DRAWARROWDOWN(POSLEVMAX,LEVMAX) coloured(0,0,0,30)
    ENDIF
    
    support=min(low,support)
    resistance=max(high,resistance)
    
    
    // << DETECTING DOUBLE TOP OR BOTTOMS  >>
    
    once WidthDoubleTop = high-low
    once WidthDoubleBottom = high-low
    
    //--> Double bottoms
    IF LMA crosses over smoothLMA THEN
    WidthDoubleBottom = LEVMAX-(BLEVMIN+LEVMIN)/2 // local max minus average of the las two local min
    IF abs(BLEVMIN-LEVMIN) < Kdouble*WidthDoubleBottom THEN
    DRAWTRIANGLE(POSLEVMIN,LEVMIN,POSLEVMAX,LEVMAX,BPOSLEVMIN,BLEVMIN) COLOURED(0,255,0,200)
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    //--> Double tops
    IF LMA crosses under smoothLMA THEN
    WidthDoubleTop=(BLEVMAX+LEVMAX)/2 -LEVMIN
    IF abs(BLEVMAX-LEVMAX) < Kdouble*WidthDoubleTop THEN
    DRAWTRIANGLE(POSLEVMIN,LEVMIN,POSLEVMAX,LEVMAX,BPOSLEVMAX,BLEVMAX) COLOURED(255,0,0,200)
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    
    RETURN LMA AS "LMA", support as "support", resistance as "resistance", smoothLMA as "smooth LMA" //, lowest[round(0.75*period)](low[1]), highest[round(0.75*period)](high[1])

    Good morning

    good work Leo
    how can I spot and use the arrows in automatic trading

    Hi Leo

    your code is for screen return

    my coding knowledge is poor add a buy condition and sell condition by removing screen retrun

    can you advice me

    where to add and how to add

    x=5

    buy 1 perpoint at resistance+x stop

    sellshort 1 perpoint at support -x stop

     

    I will change the other conditions after back testing. x=5 and buy condition etc are example only

    after back testing I will post my results

    Leo i tested the first version and i saw that the arrows appears sometimes on the 2-3 previous candle. is this something that you have seen?

    Hi all,

    Madrosat, so far I am developing an algorithm for detecting double top or bottoms. For trading is more or less what Rama says: instead of drawing a triangle, it will be the executing order or a boleean or whatever.

    Rama, right now I do not know how is the executed a trade, the theory is (for long)

    – entry above the resistance

    – stop loss below the support

    – stop profit at a distance of Resistance – support i.e. a trade with profit/risk ratio of one

    … that’s the theory maybe we can entry on the market earlier and take more profit

    Abz, odd that error. What I notice is that some arrows are duplicated ( or repeated), try my last version, please and tell us if it is better.

    Hey,

    I made an algorithm for detecting double top and double bottoms and is working so awesome and I feel so proud of it that I put it in the library as an indicator. Have a look to it when @Nicolas validate it for posting… and please give it a like or comment it, I want to improve my ranking in this forum  🙂

    I think my algo is promising and I hope we work together for make the proper modification for automatic trading.

    Hello Leo, very good algorithm

    Tested today and very efficient for visual technical analyse at different frame; Also coupled with LMA is cool

    Thank you (sorry for my english)

    Hey Leo, you made a great job with your approach on these particular patterns, a big thumb up for you 🙂

    Thanks, those message encourage me for continuing my endeavour.

    Here is my detector:

    https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/double-top-double-bottom-detector/

    Now we have to found a clever way to employ that detector…

    Abz as write : Leo i tested the first version and i saw that the arrows appears sometimes on the 2-3 previous candle. is this something that you have seen?

     

    I think arrows are repainting is true Léo??

    Hi Madrosat,

    around line 20 of the code,  says:

    // the value 0.75 is to ensure that the donchian channel is faster than the curves analysis (this value to be checked)

    I thought this solve the issue, but no…. hope we find another way no repeating the arrows (I.e duplicating the information of a local maximum or minimum)
