How do I program a pattern recognition algorithmic trading strategy?

I have a strategy based on harmonic patterns like gartleys, crab, and some other customized ones. I am thinking of learning python to hopefully implement my strategy. Would this be possible to program using Python to create an algorithmic trading strategy? Could I also be alerted of when these trade set ups occur so I can use my discretion in entering? It would be much easier for me to implement an algorithm to scan hundreds of securities rather than spending numerous hours looking for them manually. Any advice on the steps I can take would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!!!
