Hi, this looks like a great library! I can't seem to get it to work though. Below you can see my folder structure, config, and a few lines of data. I've downloaded AAPL from Yahoo Finance. Any help would be much appreciated!

Your configuration looks fine and the script has not thrown any errors.

The script only detects ongoing patterns which are yet to fully complete. Past patterns which either completed with a breakout or failed, will not show up. Its not necessary every stock will turn up a pattern.

Also every pivot requires 6 bar before and after. If the pivot high or low is violated it wont be considered. You can use --left and --right to increase / decrease the number of bars required to confirm the pivot.

# Use 4 bars on left and right of pivot
py init.py -p all -r 4 -l 4

You might want to add more stocks to scan to increase chances of detection.

If you're still convinced there is a pattern in the making, send me the CSV file and I will have a look.

Also i suggest you provide the full path to prices folder in DATA_PATH. If you execute this from outside the project root, it will raise a File Not Found error.

Thanks for these suggestions @BennyThadikaran I will try them out. Appreciate you getting back me so quickly and thoroughly.

I got a head a shoulders pattern detected for GLW, so everything seems to be working. Thanks again.
