Imagine you're monitoring EUR/USD as it approaches a key resistance level. The price has been consolidating for several sessions, and a breakout could present a strong trading opportunity. At the same time, dozens of other markets are moving, each potentially forming their own high-probability setups. Even with price alerts, it's easy to miss opportunities when monitoring multiple markets.

To help traders spot opportunities more efficiently, Tickmill has rolled out automated Pattern Recognition in the Research Terminal - powered by Acuity’s AnalysisIQ tool.* The new feature continuously scans 128 markets for high-probability chart patterns and automatically converts them into structured trade ideas.

Instead of spending hours searching for potential setups, traders receive recognised patterns complete with visual overlays, suggested entry levels, stop-loss and target prices, allowing them to focus on evaluating opportunities and managing risk with greater confidence.

What is Pattern Recognition?

Pattern Recognition is an advanced technical analysis tool that automatically identifies some of the most popular chart formations.

Instead of manually searching through multiple charts and timeframes, traders see automatically detected patterns, complete with visual overlays and key trading levels.

The tool recognises 24 popular chart patterns, including:

  • Triangles

  • Wedges

  • Rectangles

  • Channels

  • Double Tops and Double Bottoms

  • Head and Shoulders

  • Continuation patterns

  • Reversal patterns

Each confirmed pattern is accompanied by predefined trade parameters, including suggested entry, stop loss and target levels, making it easier to evaluate potential trading opportunities.

Scan more markets in less time

Markets move quickly, and opportunities can appear at any time.

Pattern Recognition continuously monitors 128 instruments across:

  • Forex

  • Indices

  • Stocks

  • Commodities

  • Cryptocurrencies

Rather than spending hours scanning charts, traders can quickly identify emerging technical setups from within the Research Terminal.

This allows more time to focus on analysing market conditions and developing a trading strategy.

Pattern Recognition joins the suite of powerful analytical tools already available within the Tickmill Research Terminal.
