Conditional Chart Pattern Signals: ABC Top/Bottom

CCPS ABC is a set of top/bottom patterns based on three points.

Pattern Variants/Subvariants:
• UHV (Uphill Middle): The price retreats slightly and reverses to climb higher with V-shape. A downward signal of this variant points out the candle where the price might retreat again. Nonetheless, as it has been a strong uptrend with higher velocity and higher wave, the probability of a huge decrease is small. Thus, it is classified as a weak bearish signal and we should only use it as a warning, i.e., we will enter a sell position when there is another high with another bearish signal. Subvariant: UHV3.
• UHL (Uphill Top Left): When the price crawls near the top of a hill, it is higher and higher but the velocity and the wave decrease. Subvariants: UHL1 (only velocity decreases), UHL2 (only wave decreases), UHL3 (both velocity and wave decrease).
• DHC (Downhill Top Center): An increase followed by a decrease in price with higher velocity and higher wave represents the start of falling from the top of a hill. Subvariants: DHC1 (only velocity increases), DHC2 (only wave increases), DHC3 (both velocity and wave increase).
• DHR (Downhill Top Right): A small decrease followed by a larger decrease in price with higher velocity and higher wave represents the confirmation of falling from the top of a hill. Subvariants: DHR1 (only velocity increases), DHR2 (only wave increases), DHR3 (both velocity and wave increase).
• DHV (Downhill Middle): A large decrease followed by a small increase in price to form a V-shape with lower velocity yet higher wave represents the continuation of falling in the downside of a hill. Subvariant: DHV3.
• DVA (Downvalley Middle): The price gains slightly and reverses to plunge lower with A-shape. An upward signal of this variant points out the candle where the price might bounce again. Nonetheless, as it has been a strong downtrend with higher velocity and higher wave, the probability of a huge increase is small. Thus, it is classified as a weak bullish signal and we should only use it as a warning, i.e., we will enter a buy position when there is another low with another bullish signal. Subvariant: DVA3.
• DVL (Downvalley Bottom Left): When the price arrives near the bottom of a valley, it is lower and lower but the velocity and the wave decrease. Subvariants: DVL1 (only velocity decreases), DVL2 (only wave decreases), DVL3 (both velocity and wave decrease).
• UVC (Upvalley Bottom Center): A decrease followed by an increase in price with higher velocity and higher wave represents the start of rising from the bottom of a valley. Subvariants: UVC1 (only velocity increases), UVC2 (only wave increases), UVC3 (both velocity and wave increase).
• UVR (Upvalley Bottom Right): A small increase followed by a larger increase in price with higher velocity and higher wave represents the confirmation of rising from the bottom of a valley. Subvariants: UVR1 (only velocity increases), UVR2 (only wave increases), UVR3 (both velocity and wave increase).
• UVA (Upvalley Middle): A large increase followed by a small decrease in price to form an A-shape with lower velocity yet higher wave represents the continuation of rising in the upside of a valley. Subvariant: UVA3.

Wave Calculation:
• Full: Waves are calculated at middle and two edges. Forward: Waves are calculated at middle and right edge.
• Average: Waves are measured by average heights. Max: Waves are measured by max heights.

Bullish/Bearish Signal Candle Check: None/Standard/TL.
• None: Not check signal candle if it is bullish or bearish.
• Standard: Bullish candle if close is higher than open or close is higher than previous close.
• TL(c): Bullish/bearish candles follow the proprietary standard. It has more conditions than Standard.

Exit: Choose an exit mode to calculate historical performance.
• Next Occurrence: Exit of an occurrence stands at the next occurrence.
• Near Fixed Length: Exit of an occurrence stands at either a specified fixed length or the next occurrence depending on which one happens first.

Signal Label Text: Subvariant name/abbreviation.

Signal Label Tooltip:
• Total: Number of occurrences of the subvariant, including the current one.
• Entry Price ($): Close price of the signal.
• Max Profit ($): Max profit of an occurrence is calculated from after the signal until the next occurrence of the same subvariant.
• Min/Max/Average Max Profit ($): Min/max/average profit of a subvariant is calculated by getting min/max/average of max profit of all occurrences of that subvariant.
• Max Loss ($): Max loss of an occurrence is calculated from after the signal until the next occurrence of the same subvariant.
• Min/Max/Average Max Loss ($): Min/max/average loss of a subvariant is calculated by getting max/min/average of max loss of all occurrences of that subvariant.
• Win: Number of historical winning occurrences of the subvariant. An occurrence of a subvariant is defined as winning when the max profit is larger than the absolute value of the max loss.
• Min Length: Min time between occurrences of the subvariant in terms of candles.
• Max Length: Max time between occurrences of the subvariant in terms of candles.
• Average Length: Average time between occurrences of the subvariant in terms of candles.

Current Label Text: Shows information of the latest occurrence of each subvariant next to the current candle.
• Last Occurrence: Date/time in exchange timezone of the latest occurrence.
