See the pattern before it completes.
Pattern Signals watch 12 markets for 26 classic chart patterns, around the clock. You hear about a head and shoulders while the right shoulder is still building, see the trigger, the stop and the target before price gets there, and get the call the moment it fires. Right inside the Terminal, drawn on your chart.
Pattern Signals switch on in the Terminal at launch. The patterns, the rules and the examples are in the library today.
Four alerts. One pattern. No surprises.
Most tools tell you a pattern happened. Pattern Signals follow it from the first sign to the trigger, in one thread, so you can plan the trade instead of chasing it.

Forming
The alert says"A head and shoulders may be forming on gold. A right shoulder near 4163 would complete it."What you doOpen the chart. See the swings so far and what would complete the shape.
- 2
Complete
The alert says"Complete. The trigger is a close through the neckline at 4146."What you doPlan the trade: trigger, textbook stop and textbook target are all known now.

Close to signaling
The alert says"Close to the trigger at 4146."What you doPrice is a fraction of a bar away. Get your order ready, or let it go.
- 4
Time to act
The alert says"Closed through 4146. Entry 4146, stop 4164, target 4121."What you doThe trigger fired. Act on your plan, or skip it. Your call, every time.
Hours of notice, not seconds.
The first alert arrives while the pattern is still taking shape. Here is how long it came before the trigger, measured by the scanner on our own charts.
Head and shoulders, double and triple tops
The first alert comes while the right shoulder or second top is still building.
Triangles, wedges and rectangles
The lines are drawn after four swings; both breaks are watched.
Harmonic patterns
The zone where the last leg should end is on the chart before price arrives.
Opening range
The range is set the moment the first 15 minutes close.

Your signals, next to your chart.
The Signals panel sits on the right of the Terminal. Every pattern is one thread. Tap a thread and the chart shows the pattern, the trigger and the plan.

A feed, not a firehose
Every message about one pattern stays in one thread, from the first sign to the result. You follow a setup, not a stream of pings.
The pattern, drawn for you
Open any message and the chart shows the swings, the neckline or trendlines, the zone, and the textbook entry, stop and target.
Your markets, your timeframe
Choose a watchlist, the 15-minute or 60-minute chart, and the pattern families you care about. Everything else stays quiet.
Learn every pattern
Every signal links to its page in the Chart Pattern Library: what it shows, the exact rule, where it comes from, real examples.
Cancellations you can read
When a pattern fails before it triggers, the thread says why: the wrong side broke, the lines met, or time ran out.
One rule set, every market
Every distance is measured in the market’s own average bar, so the same rules read gold, the Nasdaq and the yen alike.
The patterns traders already know. Found for you.
Head and shoulders, triangles, flags, harmonics, order blocks, the opening range. Easy to name, hard to catch across a dozen markets in real time. The scanner never looks away.

Ninety years of chart reading, turned into rules.
Every pattern comes from the books traders have learned from for generations. The scanner applies their definitions the same way, on every market, every time, with no tired eyes and no wishful drawing.
A signal is information. The decision is yours.
- No win rates and no promises. Patterns fail, and the library shows the ones that did.
- Every alert carries the textbook trigger, stop and target, so you can judge the risk before you act.
- Cancellations are alerts too: you see when a pattern breaks the wrong way or runs out of time.
- Signals do not trade for you and do not change how the Desk backs a trade. You choose, you size, you place it.
Twelve markets. Every session.
Indices, metals, oil, currencies and crypto, on the 15-minute and 60-minute charts. London and New York opens included.
Before you start
Are signals trade recommendations?
No. A signal tells you that a well-known chart pattern is forming or has triggered, with the textbook levels for it. Whether to trade it, and how much to risk, is always your decision. Signals are education, not advice.
Do the patterns work?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Every pattern in the library shows real examples from our charts, including ones that hit the stop. We do not publish win rates or promise results, because no chart pattern can honestly carry one.
How many alerts will I get?
As many as you choose. Across all 12 markets and both timeframes the scanner finds hundreds of patterns a day, so you pick a watchlist, a timeframe and the pattern families you want. The 60-minute chart is much quieter than the 15-minute chart.
Which markets are scanned?
Gold, silver, crude oil, the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500, the Dow 30, the DAX 40, the euro, the pound, the yen, Bitcoin and Ether.
How early is "early"?
It depends on the pattern. In our scan of August to October 2026, the first alert on a head and shoulders or a double top came a median of about two hours before the trigger; on harmonic patterns about 35 minutes; on the opening range about 15 minutes.
Does a signal change how the Desk backs my trade?
No. A trade you open from a signal is a trade like any other: the Desk backs it, sizes it and runs its own stop the usual way. The pattern’s textbook stop is a reference for your plan, not the Desk’s stop.
Spot it early. Plan it calmly. The Desk backs the move.
Trade your way on Trade Syndication: the Desk allocates its own capital behind your trade, small at first and more as the move proves itself, and you keep 90% of what that capital makes. $15 a contract.
Pattern Signals are coming to the Terminal. Signals are education, not advice: a pattern describes what many traders watch for and does not predict what price will do. The examples on this page are real detections on past data and include losses. Trading involves risk.
