Help with Simple Show Me

Recommended Posts

I suggest you take a look at the code for Head & Shoulders ShowMe within TS for example of how to find these patterns. These are not simple one, two or three bar patterns (for example, looking for a doji, which is basically Open=Close for the current bar) and it requires looking at pivots or swing bars over many bars (could be dozens of bars). The code for H&S is about 200 lines. In addition, no two independent implementation of these indicators will look exactly the same because there are too many variables involved.

Even if you don't do Easylanguage, you could start by drawing a few bars of what the rules entailed in the pictures you posted and see if you could have defined them mathmatically (e.g., H[4] < H[3] AND H[3] = H[1] AND C[3] <> H[3] AND C[1] <> H[1] AND C[0] < L[1] in the simplest 5 bar permutation for the Double top reversal bar pattern).

Now I see a sample chart of the bars in question I can see why you say they are simple. In real life, you won't find too many adjacent bar double top or double bottoms like that (I don't think the sample chart is even an actual chart). If you just want to program such a pattern, the logic provided above (or similar logic) will let you program such pattern matching in EL, but you are unlikely to find many matches. There are a lot more practical three bar group patterns you can explore, for example the ones mention in Suri's book

 

{Suri TBG1; Go Long above H[3]}

if H[3] > H[2] and C[2] < C[1] and L[1] > L[2] and H[1] > H[2] and C > H[3] then
TB1Long = true
	else
TB1Long = false ;


{Suri TBG2; Go Long above H[2]}

if H[3] > H[2] and C[2] < C[1] and L[2] < L[3] and O[1] < C[2] and C[1] > C[2] and 
L[1] < L[2] and C > H[2] then
	TB2Long = true
else
	TB2Long = false ;


{Suri TBG3; Go Long above H[1]}

if H[3] > H[2] and C[2] < C[3] and O[1] > C[2] and H[1] > H[3] and
C > H[1] then
TB3Long = true
	else
TB3Long = false ;


{Suri TBG4; Go Long above H[3]}

if H[3] > H[2] and H[2] > H[1] and L[3] < L[2] and L[2] < L[1] and C > H[3] then
TB4Long = true
	else
TB4Long = false ;


{Suri TBG4; Go Short below L[3]}

if L[3] < L[2] and L[2] < L[1] and H[3] > H[2] and H[2] > H[1] and C < L[3] then

TB4Short = true
	else
TB4Short = false ;




 

The first ELD ...SURIBARS below is not an actual indicator, just the functions for matching the three bar groups pattern. The second ELD, ...SURI.CANDLEREADER is an indicator, capable of matching several candle stick patterns, written by Suri. You should be able to use that as an example to explore more simple patterns.

Again Thank You, I hope others will benifit from the code also. I will soon contribute some code and Ideas I came across. Ultimatly what i am looking for is:

Find a confirmed major pivot P1

Confirm a P2 pivot

Get a P3 pivot that dosent exceed the P1 pivot and enter on the reversal bar types above. But rather than just seeing them on the chart I thought getting a plot after the conditions above have occured would be a excellent entry. (providing the trend is in your direction and others). But overall finding major reversals in the market and trading with them would be a low risk place to enter trend changes.

Suri seems to have an auto ABC with Fib projections for the C pivot. This is very similar to what I am looking for. Is this indicator available? Is the code in his book? Thanks to all!

Not that I am aware of. Suri has begun to market quite of few of his indicators, although the prices are not explicitly listed on his website. The closest free indicator is the Suri ZigzagFib from the TS forum.

I can find Pivot A and Pivot B then I want Pivot C to less than Pivot A and enter on the reversal bar.

 

So maybe a showme that plots a dot above or below depaening on direction every reversal bar that happens to see it better so would I need a higher high and a equal or lower close than the previous bar to plot?

 

Maybe something is already offer that will plot this. I know there will be tons of plots but I can filter most out by the C pivot to be equal or less than the A pivot.

 

So A would be confirmed and B would be confirmed then I would look for the c pivot and watch the reversal bars plot from that point on.

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
