The Double Top, also known as an M pattern, is a bearish reversal pattern that typically appears after an uptrend. It consists of two successive peaks separated by an intermediate trough that defines the neckline.
The pattern is considered confirmed when the price breaks below the neckline. The theoretical price target is then calculated by projecting the height of the Double Top downward from the neckline. A pullback to the neckline may also occur after the breakout.
The Double Top / M Indicator identifies and displays this pattern directly on your ProRealTime charts.
When a Double Top is detected, several visual elements can be displayed to show the pattern's structure and development:
The different visual elements can be shown or hidden according to your preferences.
Many parameters allow you to adapt the display to your own criteria. All settings can be adjusted directly from the indicator's “Configuration” menu in ProRealTime, without modifying the code.
