Hey r/algotrading,
Been following the threads on pattern recognition libraries (like ABCD, head & shoulders, candlesticks) and custom scanners great stuff, especially the TTM Squeeze examples and Python advice.
For quick scans on crypto pairs (Binance/Bybit etc.), I wanted something lightweight that flags basic swing/day patterns (flags, wedges, channels, double tops/bottoms) without heavy coding or backtesting overhead.
Stumbled on this web tool called ChartScout pulls live data fast, highlights common setups across multiple tickers, and keeps it minimal (no fancy ML, just reliable price action detection). It's free for core use and cuts time compared to manual checks or overloaded platforms like TradingView.
Right now it's helping spot consolidations in BTC/ETH ranges without constant monitoring.
Anyone else using (or building) quick pattern detectors for crypto? What libraries do you prefer for detection (e.g., TA-Lib, custom OpenCV)? Or do you skip scanners altogether for pure algo edge? Curious happy to discuss!
