Let patterns come to you

It’s five minutes to the bell. Semis are gapping, a couple of cloud names are already trending in pre-market, regional banks look heavy, and an industrial darling just broke yesterday’s VWAP. You’ve got a tech watchlist, a banks list, a cyclicals list—dozens of symbols across multiple timeframes—and one pair of eyes. You flip charts, zoom in, zoom out, and by the time you land on the right ticker, the move is half-spent.

What you need in that moment isn’t twelve monitors—it’s a straight answer: which of my symbols are printing my patterns right now, on the timeframes I trade? How can I stop babysitting twenty tabs and start looking at a shortlist that deserves attention.

That’s the job of PatternAction’s Pattern-Based Stock Screener: you pick one or several saved patterns from your library, point them at your tech, banks, energy, or biotech lists—across 5-minute, 15-minute, hourly, whatever you trade—and the system surfaces the symbols currently forming your setups. Instead of hunting chart by chart, you’re triaging a live, focused queue and moving straight to decision mode.

How It Works

Start in your Pattern Library. Tick one or more saved patterns and click Finder. A setup dialog opens: pick the AI model, set Similarity (tighter for cleaner matches, looser to see variations), choose your timeframes, and define the universe—one or many symbols. Confirm, and the job drops into the Finder queue to run across all selected symbol–timeframe combos.

Open Pattern Finder to see results at a glance: it highlights which symbols, on which timeframes, are currently printing your chosen patterns. From there, jump straight to the chart, zoom out for context, sanity-check news or higher-timeframe structure, and decide. The heavy lifting—screening dozens of names across multiple frames—happens in one pass, so your attention goes to the few that deserve it!
