Base Finder
New Free Indicator
This one’s taken some time but it’s finally ready! I introduce you to Base Finder for TradingView.
The Base Finder for TradingView is a powerful tool to identify consolidation periods in a stock's advance. With this indicator, traders can effortlessly spot consolidation patterns on their charts providing them with a deeper understanding of the stock's price action.
Base Finder goes beyond identifying consolidation patterns, as it also offers key information about the consolidation such as the depth, length, pivot point, and the number of accumulation or distribution weeks throughout the pattern. This information allows traders to compare and analyze the best basing patterns quickly and easily.
With Base Finder, traders can differentiate between a Flat Base, a High Tight Flag, or a consolidation, such as a cup with handle or double bottom base.
This tool helps traders of all levels train their eye to identify potential trading opportunities that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Base Finder is a must-have tool for any trader, especially those that have studied the work of William O’Neil and stacks up base for base with MarketSmith.
Easily customize the settings, from the look to the intricacies of a consolidation.
