In the book bollinger on bollinger bands, the classification of M & W patterns is mentioned as per the work of Arthur Merrill & Robert Levey.

I was wondering if there is any way to code these patterns into pcf / scan format?

Can you elaborate on what these patterns are?

You posted this question in the Comments and Suggestions forum, when it really should have been posted in either the Ask a Trainer forum or the PCF' and EasyScans forum. I'll move the topic to Ask a Trainer for now.

basicly they are classifications of zig zag patterns - 16 M types & 16 W types' JB has them on P92 of his book also quotes `M&W wave patterns' - by Arthur Merril

We don't have his book here.

What makes something an M type or a W type? Is this of price?

Describe the pattern and we can try and go from there.

M & W patterns are based on the 5-point pricing patterns that shape like M (for top) and W (for bottom). The relative positions of these 5 points (highs and lows)result in various M and W classifications.

Looking these over, over what time period are you hoping to capture one of these patterns to form?

For M13 and W4 look to this post:

PCF's for Triangles

For W6-9, W11, W13 and W15 look to this post:

is this possible w/telechart

For the others I only need a time frame.

Craig, for the reply Thank you. I have no fixed ideas regarding timeframes, perhaps you can shed some examples that could be adjusted?

=================================================

On another matter;


Why have the links ben killed / censored? (there was no weird code or anything, just a normal url - [perfectly safe)

My understanding is that this forum is supposed to practice free speech for the education of fellow traders - that's bit dificult if the owners of the site want to pretend that there are no other resources out there or want to make it dificult for people to reach them. imho

Outside URLs or direct references to other company's sites cannot be published in these forums. Giving outside companies free promotional opportunities with our customer base is prohibited.

I need you to decide over how many days should we look to find your patterns.

Do you want to see these forming over the last week? Month? Three weeks?

We have to define the time period. Look at the other links I gave you on triangles and H&S patterns to see what I mean.

There is a difference (that seems to have been missed) between promoting other company's (which I was not & have no incentive to do) & providing usefull information for the benefit of fellow users (who may even find more uses for your product).

I understand the difference in intent but we still don't allow links to outside sites. It is the policy.

I have everything I need to help you find these patterns except what time frame you want them forming in.
