I would like to request the addition of a Megaphone Pattern (Broadening Formation) indicator to the platform’s charting tools.
Overview:
The Megaphone Pattern is a technical formation characterized by expanding price swings, where the market forms a sequence of higher highs and lower lows. This results in two diverging trendlines, creating a broadening structure that reflects increasing volatility and market indecision.
Core Functionality Requirements:
Automatically detect and highlight Megaphone patterns on price charts
Identify and validate at least:
Two consecutive higher highs
Two consecutive lower lows
Draw:
An upper resistance trendline connecting highs
A lower support trendline connecting lows
Ensure the trendlines are diverging (broadening formation)
Customization Options:
Pivot/swing sensitivity (to control how highs and lows are detected)
Minimum number of required touchpoints (e.g., 4–6 pivots)
Time range or lookback period
Option to enable/disable real-time pattern detection
Optional Enhancements:
Volume-based confirmation (e.g., increasing volume during expansion)
Breakout alerts when price exits the pattern
Visual highlighting (shaded region within the pattern)
Multi-timeframe detection support
Use Case:
This indicator would help traders identify periods of increasing volatility and potential breakout scenarios, improving both discretionary and systematic trading strategies.
Thank you for considering this feature.
