Double Bottom Pattern

This pattern-based strategy scans for two consecutive lows at roughly the same price separated by a set distance. After the second bottom forms, a bullish candle confirms the reversal.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 55%. It performs best in the stocks market.

When confirmation occurs, the system buys with a stop below the pattern lows. The setup aims to capture sharp rebounds from exhausted selling.

Exits rely on a predefined stop-loss or manual profit targets.
