Is it possible for SF or TC to scan for Chart Patterns, i.e., double bottoms, cup and handle, head and shoulders, etc?

Craig has been experimenting with a Double Bottom Rule for StockFinder that can be accessed by selecting Add Rule | Select... Double Bottom.

Double Bottom rule

You may wish to review the following for information on pattern recognition in TeleChart:

Falling wedge
Cup with a handle formation
PCF for cup with a handle
Scanning for Chart Patterns
Scanning for Stocks Printing a Double or Triple Bottom
PCFs for pennants and flags
PCF's for Triangles
Does TeleChart support Elliott Wave indicators?
Double top/bottom trend
Finding Double Tops and Double Bottoms
CUP AND HANDLE AGAIN
Finding Continuation Triangles And Wedges With Telechart

That said, I personally do not think there is a practical way to definitively identify Double Bottoms using EasyScans and TeleChart's Personal Criteria Formula Language. This is true of pattern recognition in general with the exception of candlestick patterns:

Boolean PCFs for Candlestick Patterns
