1. A method for market pattern recognition, the method comprising:
- displaying market data for a tradeable object traded at an electronic exchange via an output associated with a trading device;
selecting a portion of the market data via the trading device;
monitoring market information for the tradeable object received from the electronic exchange for at least one chart pattern match similar to the selected portion of the market data; and

Abstract
A system and method are provided for chart pattern recognition and analysis. In one embodiment, a graphical interface is provided to enable a trader to select a portion of a chart to be used in the chart pattern analysis. The pattern of the selected portion of the chart could then be used to find one or more similar chart patterns in a user-defined timeframe, such as any future time period or a time period in the past. When a reoccurring chart pattern is found in any future time period, an alert signal can be generated to alert a user of a possibility of the chart pattern reoccurrence. Alternatively, chart pattern matches can be found in a time period in the past, and a set of studies can be applied to the found matches to generate a set of reoccurring indicator values. The reoccurring indicator values can be used in combination with the chart pattern to detect any similar chart patterns in the future.
