The Double Top/Double Bottom indicators are designed to identify double tops and bottoms with TradeStation and then to monitor the market as the pattern progresses.
A double top forms over a number of bars when a market makes a new high and is followed by a measured pullback. Subsequently the market rises again close to the same level as the previous high established prior to the pullback before selling off again, forming a kind of 'M' shape. The reverse is true for a double bottom.
Traders can use our indicators to identify double top and bottom setups as soon as the peaks/valleys of the pattern are formed prior to the neckline being breached, or wait until the market has broken through the neckline before taking action.
Our indicators can be used to identify double tops and double bottoms as they form either on a chart or to scan multiple markets simultaneously with the help of TradeStations RadarScreen or scanner. Once identified traders can then watch the pattern unfold and set alerts if they wish to be notified when the market has broken key levels.
The double top/bottom indicators also provide an opportunity for breakout traders seeking to identify areas of short term resistance as established by the twin pattern peaks and looking to take advantage should the pattern fail and the market reverse.
Included within these indicators are multiple settings for customizing the indicators function and appearance including adjusting the strength of the double top/double bottom pattern detected and when to be alerted to potential trading opportunities.
The indicators can also be inserted into a TradeStation RadarScreen to scan the market and identify double top and double bottom patterns as they setup and then monitor the market as the pattern evolves.

Screenshots
The screenshot below shows the double top pattern identified in a TradeStation chart. The yellow dot identifies the first peak of the double top and the red dot identifies the second peak. The white dot highlights the lowest point between the two peaks. The cyan dots are placed at the neckline.
The NOV chart example below shows a longer term double top identified prior to the market selling off.
The screenshot below is taken from the forex GBPUSD market and shows a double top formation being identified within an intraday chart.
This next chart below shows a double top pattern detected in MSFT. In this example the indicator is set to place the neckline halfway between the valley low (where the original neckline would be) and the high peak of the pattern allowing for traders to be alerted earlier to a potential market reversal.
This IFF image below shows two double top patterns detected in close succession. The first potential double top fails to break the neckline and the market moves higher forming a second double top which subsequently does break the neckline and proceeds to sell off.
The double top indicator can also be used as a breakout indicator to identify when markets breakout to new highs through a recent level of resistance. In the DISCK chart below the breakout level is activated as shown by the gray dots and traders can be alerted as the market moves higher through the level of resistance set by the prior peaks of the double top.
Everything said of the double top indicator is also true of the double bottom indicator, just flipped. Below is a screenshot showing a double bottom pattern detected in AVB.
The next example is from CHD and shows the detection of another double bottom pattern.
The chart below shows a longer term double bottom detected in DGX before the market starts making new highs.
