In this video, we automate the ascending triangle pattern detection in Python and turn it into a complete trading strategy. We then run a backtest on Gold prices (5-minute timeframe, 57 trading days) with results reaching 383% returns and an 86% win rate using leverage.
You’ll learn step by step how to:
- Detect pivot points (swing highs and lows)
- Build the ascending triangle pattern algorithm in Python
- Avoid look-ahead bias in your backtests
- Run a full automated trading strategy backtest
- Experiment with parameters for different assets
