The Edit Pattern Settings dialog box contains the following options:

A medium-term pattern falls between 17-32 bars, and a long-term pattern occurs at 33 bars or greater. For Support & Resistance and Trendlines, the term is determined by the pivot points that the pattern uses.
  • None or All—Specifies whether VisualTrader will display Candle patterns.
  • Focus List & Charts Display Tolerance—Specifies the number of bars tolerance to use when displaying forming patterns.
  • Display Forming Patterns—Displays patterns that are beginning to form at the right edge of the chart.
  • Assistant Display Settings—Specifies whether VisualTrader will display Assistant Tags. The Assistant Text Color option determines the color of the tag text. When you mouse over a tag in a chart, the Pattern Recognition Module displays the name of the pattern in the color you specify.
  • Pivot Points—Specifies whether to find pivot points that reinforce the short, medium, or long-terms used in VisualTrader.
  • Fibonacci Indicators—Specifies whether to display Short, Medium, or Long-term retracements on the right side of the chart. Fibonacci Retracements indicate reversal points on a price chart using ratios computed from Fibonacci numbers.
