I'm still new to all this, and the "forum" system here is pretty hard to navigate.
If you look at this site on Bollinger Bands:
http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:bollinger_bands
And go down to the section "Signal: W-Bottoms" you'll see a classic W bottom. Does anyone have an Algo they can share that shows how to place an order just after the breakout is signaled?
You're delving into pattern matching algorithms, neural net stuff I'm guessin'. No doubt there are some here who have implemented NN's to get their algos running. But identifying specific patterns... Not sure about that.
I found only one pattern where someone mentioned "neural net": Link here to NN post And their not using the NN code (if it in fact is NN code) to find specific patterns.
Other than that, you'd have to create a type of ZigZag indicator and program it with specific patterns that would follow a double bottom "dub-ya" pattern.
