Filters
- Filters hide patterns based on certain conditions
- Filters for Chart and Monitor Views are set independently of each other
- Wings Proportions is the maximum ratio of time between XA-BC and AB-CD. In other words it's a measure of how balanced, timewise, the pattern is. Keep in mind that this setting is highly subjective.
- Hide Premature - when marked, hides the patterns where price did not move beyond point B (or X) yet, during it's way from point C to D.
Monitor (Views, Alerts)
- Monitor let's you search through any instruments and timeframes all at once
- You can divide your searches into Views (watchlists) that save between your sessions, e.g. you can have a "Gartley's" view that only monitors Gartley patterns on USD pairs and timeframes above M15
- Two Views are already there: SINGLES and DEFAULT. SINGLES is where patterns appear after you click the watch button in either Charts or Monitor
- Each Monitor View has it's own corresponding Filters and can have E-Mail alerts setup
- After you setup email alerts the View is locked. Editing the selection of instruments and timeframes is disabled until you unlock it by clicking on the padlock icon
- Alerts can be setup to notify you of different stages of pattern completion (C, D, Tbar)
Charts
- Each pattern can be viewed in detail by clicking the solo button in the left sidebar or double clicking the pattern
- Stop-Loss zone is calculated after Terminal Bar is found
- Watch button saves the pattern to the SINGLES Monitor View
- Premium users can contribute to the discussion in the Chat
- Patterns don't repaint but they disappear after a while so the chart remains uncluttered. Completed patterns stay for 200 candles while invalid ones are removed after 2 - 100 based on timeframe.
- FormationSeeker can be opened in as many windows as you like to simulate multi-chart experience
-
The T letter in the sidebar next to the pattern name means there's a Terminal Bar
The H means the HSI is in the extreme. For Bearish patterns the extreme registers above 88.6, for Bullish below 11.3. We try to limit these indications to conceivably still valid patterns so no 'H' before D, above max SL or after TP2.
