Head and Shoulders pattern

This ProRealTime indicator identifies the famous “head and shoulders” price pattern.

It works on all markets, with any timeframe and for any type of chart: candlesticks, bar chart, Heikin ashi, Kagi, Renko, tick charts, etc.

HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS:

The “Head and Shoulder” pattern is formed by 5 consecutive waves. The development of the pattern takes origin at point n °1, the succession of waves generates new maximums and new minimums ordered in the points n.2, n. 3, n.4 and n.5, forming three triangular figures with a vertex in common, the point n.1 corresponds to the first left shoulder, the point n. 2 at the base of the neck, point n. 3 to the head, the point n. 4 at the base of the neck, the point n.5 at the right shoulder.

The figure is confirmed when point n.3 is clearly higher or lower than point n.1 and point n.5, there is an alignment between the various points as in the images below, and finally the price crosses the “neck line“, formed by an imaginary segment from point n.2 to n.4.
