Recognize Break and Retest of price level

[dsmanyp]

Hi fellows,

I wanna build a trading boot which recognize a break and retest pattern of support or resistance line.

The support or resistance level is known by the bot, it will be a parameter given by the user of the bot. The bot DO NOT have to detect this support or resistance level.

See picture...The only thing the bot has to do is to recognize if on this support or resistance  happens a break and retest pattern and send a trade.

How I could develop the logic to recognize such a pattern or are there any article or helper classes which can do that for me? 

Would be glad for any hint or ressource.

Thanks!

Hi yes this can be done possible. However, breakouts work best in trending markets. When its sideways the scenario may be different and very low or no trades may be picked at all. But you can take advantage of OHLC price of previous day candle to determine the Support and Resistance Zones successfully.

You call "retest" the pullback of a wave, its amplitude isn't always enough to "retest" and sometimes it even reverses ...

Maturity teachs to get ready to close some deals in loss, you won't never ever avoid it, you have to accept it : even E.W model is a theory, not a gospel.

Why false breakout? Look at the image (this is Merrill's patterns for downtrend):

 

and look at GBPUSD M1 chart for now:

 

So, the pattern on GBPUSD chart is same as M3 Merrill, right? And the evolution of this M3 pattern was on the following way: M8 - M4 - M3. That is why it was false breakout.

If you are thinking of how to write the code, I would use ihighest of ihigh and ilowest of ilow of xx bars of the near past and find if the support and resistance falls in between these two values.

You can write a boolean function as it can only tells you if it break or retest. Then do your other calculation
