Automatic Double Bottom Pattern Detection for cTrader

Few bullish reversal formations are as widely recognized as the double bottom, and few are as tedious to find by hand. The Chart Pattern Double Bottom indicator for cTrader scans your chart for you, marks the pattern when it completes, and alerts you the moment it appears, so you can focus on your trade plan instead of scrolling through candles.

Whether you trade forex, indices, commodities, metals or crypto CFDs, this overlay indicator brings a consistent, rule-based approach to identifying “W”-shaped reversals directly on your price chart.

What Is a Double Bottom Pattern?

A double bottom is a classic bullish reversal pattern. Price falls to a low, rebounds to a resistance level, falls back to test the same area, and then moves back up. Traders watch for a break above the resistance (neckline) as confirmation that sellers are losing control and buyers may be taking over.

Spotting these structures manually takes time and is subjective. This indicator applies the same detection logic to every bar, giving you a more systematic view of the market.

Key Features

Three Pattern Sizes in One Indicator

Match the indicator to your trading style by enabling or disabling each size independently:

• Small patterns for short-term setups and scalping-oriented charts
• Medium patterns for intraday and swing trading
• Large patterns for major structural reversals on higher timeframes

Use one size for a clean chart, or run all three to see reversals at multiple scales at once.

Automatic Pattern Drawing

When a double bottom is identified, the indicator draws the key structure on your chart:

• A connecting line between the two lows, so the “W” shape is easy to see
• A resistance (breakout) line projected across the pattern, showing the level traders watch for confirmation

Both lines can be fully restyled to match your chart theme.

Visual Signal Marker

A clear marker appears on the bar where the pattern is detected. It is easy to spot on a busy chart and easy to review when you scroll back through history.

Built-In Alerts

Never miss a setup. Turn on the alert option and the indicator plays a sound notification when a new double bottom appears on the latest bar. You can choose your own sound file, so the alert fits your workstation and workflow.

Fully Customizable Appearance

Make it yours with simple settings:

• Choose the color of the bottom connecting line
