well perfect W for me is when the second leg is a retrace of about 70 percent... so a W with the right bottom higher than the left bottom ...

So that rules out a true double bottom.....I have tried the DB filter and frankly I didnt care for it....plus W patterns occur all the time IE: uptrending and downtrending .......

if I were to add anything else, it would be the length of time between the bottom points, like for example 15 days...something like that...

I guess another way to think of the W is a simple ABC pattern, with the 'C' identified at a preset level of retracement like
50% or .618 or .707

That would be a really cool way to locate potential W's and then do a visual scan of the list.

The whole concept has been done in other charting program indicators , like Presavento Gartley patterns ect.

I just have not found a way to scan for them.

So, right bottom higher than left bottom narrows it down a bit...

W4 & W5 are equivalent to narrowing triangles.
W9 & W10 (as well as W13 and W15) are all H&S variations
W14 and W16 are basically uptrends with higher highs.

I think eyeballs might still be the best filtering mechanic for finding Ms and Ws...then again, I'm not one of the coding wizards here.
