This professional-grade indicator eliminates the need for manual pattern drawing and continuously scans market data to locate expanding price structures as they develop.

Built specifically for Sierra Chart users, this indicator leverages the platform's high-performance charting engine to deliver accurate visual pattern recognition across futures, forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, indices, and CFD markets.

Whether you are a discretionary trader seeking visual chart confirmation or an experienced market technician analyzing price structure, the Broadening Formation Chart Pattern Indicator helps streamline chart analysis and improve pattern recognition efficiency.

What is a Broadening Formation Pattern?

A Broadening Formation, sometimes referred to as a Megaphone Pattern, is characterized by progressively wider price swings that create diverging support and resistance boundaries.

As volatility expands and market participants become increasingly divided, a broadening structure can emerge. These patterns often attract technical traders because they highlight periods of expanding volatility, changing sentiment, and significant market activity.

Identifying Broadening Formations manually can be difficult because every chart contains hundreds or even thousands of potential swing points. The Broadening Formation Chart Pattern Indicator automates this process by continuously analyzing the chart and displaying qualifying formations directly on the screen.
