This snapshot shows how easy it is to use cpFinder. It illustrates how, after only 4 simple steps, you can be browsing through the patterns that cpFinder has detected for you in your stockmarket data.

The 4 steps are:

4. Browse detected patterns


Step 1 - Open File

After launching cpFinder select the "Open" option of the File menu item on the menu bar

Step 2 - Select Securities

Pick which ones of your favorite stocks, commodities, currencies, or indexes whose price data you wish to scan for any technical patterns they may contain.

Most of the important chart patterns can be detected by cpFinder.

Any or all of the available patterns in the Select Patterns dialog can be chosen.

1. On the left hand side, a list of securities (Security List) that has been processed for the chosen patterns with the name of the currently displayed security highlighted (by default, initially the first in the list);

2. A bar chart (which also shows volume) on which the patterns found for the currently highlighted security in the list are shown and

3. Below the bar chart, a table of patterns found, by security and pattern type. Note that any patterns found for weekly and monthly are also listed based on computing the weekly and monthly figures from the daily data.

Using the vertical scroll bar on the pattern table, the bar chart and patterns found for BUD- AnBusch are displayed by clicking on one of its pattern rows (the second Tri - Asc, ie Ascending Triangle pattern, in the list.)

Now investigate the patterns that have been detected by simply clicking on the entries in either of the lists. For example, highlight an Ascending Triangle pattern.

· Click on this entry in the pattern table and the pattern on the bar chart is highlighted (it is shown in the highlighted colour) as illustrated in Step 3 above.

· Click again on this highlighted entry and you then zoom in on the pattern as illustrated below:
