[Khanhlinhdang]

In the near future you will have additional recognition chart patterns function, like Head & Shoulders, Tops & Bottoms, Ascending & Descending Triangles, Wedges, Double Top & Bottom...

I have been considering this already and definitely is on the roadmap. However, I cannot give you any day when this get implemented. If more people "upvote" this, then it will help speed it up.

Thank you for answer.

[nardew]

Can you guys describe how the output would look like?

[Khanhlinhdang]

I think it will be nice if it is a list of point, for example: in this picture, a triangle pattern has 5 point. you can open tradingview, and looking for indicator All Chart pattern. it was show very nice figure

I meant what would be the outcome of an indicator. Currently each indicator outputs a value for every input value.

I guess it could be an enum.IntFlag ? Like

class DetectedPattern(IntFlag):
    HeadAndShoulders = auto()
    TopsAndBottoms = auto()
    # [..]

Since it's an IntFlag, in theory multiple patterns could be detected at the same time
