1	# Double Top & Bottom Patterns
2
3	Reversal patterns that form when price fails to break a level twice.
4
5	## Pattern Structure
6
7	### Double Top (Bearish)
8	1. Rally to resistance (Peak 1) → pullback to neckline → retest the resistance within a predeclared price or ATR tolerance → failure
9
10	### Double Bottom (Bullish)
11	1. Drop to support (Trough 1) → bounce to neckline → retest the support within the same frozen tolerance → failure
12
13	\| Factor \| Strong \| Weak \|
14	\|--------\|--------\|------\|
15	\| Time between tests \| Within a predeclared bar window \| Selected after seeing outcome \|
16	\| Volume \| Declining on 2nd test \| Higher on 2nd test \|
17	\| Peak/trough alignment \| Within a volatility-normalized tolerance \| Arbitrary visual match \|
18
19	## Workflow
20
21	### 1. Get Exact Data
22
23	```
24	get_candles_around_date(symbol=<symbol>, exchange=<exchange>, interval=<interval>, date=<peak_date>)
25	```
26
27	### 2. Mark Peaks/Troughs (2 parallel highlight calls)
28
29	```
30	draw_chart_analysis(action="create", drawing={
31	"type": "highlight",
32	"points": [{"time": <peak1_time>, "price": <peak1_price>}],
33	"options": {"text": "Peak 1"}
34	})
35
36	draw_chart_analysis(action="create", drawing={
37	"type": "highlight",
38	"points": [{"time": <peak2_time>, "price": <peak2_price>}],
39	"options": {"text": "Peak 2"}
40	})
41	```
42
43	### 3. Draw Neckline
44
45	```
46	draw_chart_analysis(action="create", drawing={
47	"type": "support",
48	"points": [
49	{"time": <neckline_start>, "price": <neckline_price>},
50	{"time": <neckline_end>, "price": <neckline_price>}
51	],
52	"options": {"text": "Neckline"}
53	})
54	```
55
56	For double top use `"support"` (neckline is below). For double bottom use `"resistance"` (neckline is above).
57
58	### 4. Enter
59
60	Standard: Enter on neckline break + close with volume. Stop beyond peaks/troughs.
61	Preferred: Wait for break + neckline retest. Enter on rejection.
62	Aggressive: Enter at second peak/trough with LTF reversal confirmation.
63	Target: Neckline ± (Peak - Neckline). Example: Peak $100, Neckline $90 → Target $80.
64
65	## Evidence and Validation
66
67	- Treat the setup as a testable hypothesis, not a prediction. Define thresholds, entry, invalidation, and exit before evaluating outcomes.
68	- Calibrate on the same instrument, venue, session, and timeframe. Use closed candles and a held-out or walk-forward sample; record every variant tried.
69	- Include spread, fees, slippage, borrow or funding, partial fills, and latency. Reject the setup when net expectancy is not positive or depends on one narrow parameter.
70	- Return observed inputs, missing data, cost assumptions, entry, invalidation, exit, and a valid, watch, or no-trade status.
71	- Research basis: [Lo, Mamaysky & Wang](https://www.nber.org/papers/w7613) found incremental information in some algorithmically defined patterns, including double bottoms, but did not establish universal thresholds or profits.
72
73	## Key Rules
74	- NEVER trade before neckline confirmation — pattern incomplete until it breaks
75	- Treat declining activity on the second test as context, not validation by itself
76	- Freeze the peak/trough tolerance and bar window before evaluating returns
77	- Failed double tops/bottoms lead to strong continuation moves
78
79	## Related Skills
80	- head-and-shoulders — Similar reversal family
81	- cup-and-handle — Failed double bottoms can morph into cup patterns
