    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

I want to build a Harmonic Pattern Scanner that works

Hi FPA,

This is my first post, so be gentle.

My name is Devin, and I'm a student in computational statistics (machine learning). I am OBSESSED with the statistical reliability of harmonic patterns. Sometimes they fail fantastically, sometimes they work equally well.

Me and a small team have built a core engine that "analyzes" harmonic patterns. The engine outputs a confidence percentage alongside harmonic patterns it identifies. For example, the engine might identify a crab and then spit out a "68.3%" confidence prediction. (If you're wondering, the engine relies on a smattering of deep learning techniques, basic trading knowledge, and lots and lots of backtesting...)

Here's where it gets commercial though.

We want to package this engine into a tool that traders will find invaluable. We've looked at the various offerings, free and paid. We like some of it, dislike other parts of it.

We're looking for more specific feedback about where/how these existing tools are deficient.
 
Sive Morton might be a good person to ask. He's got his own folder in Shoulders of Giants under the Education tab. He uses patterns like that, so should be able to give some constructive feedback. He may also know what sort of similar items are on the market and how well they perform.
 
It is an interesting idea.

But have a look at this.

The creator of harmonic trading might be not a genuine trader but sales man only.

So you might save your time.
