Alternative Shark Harmonic Pattern Indicator on TradingView - free - [TFlab]

The Pattern Alternative Shark Harmonic Indicator is one of the efficient tools in TradingView Indicators. This indicator allows traders to automatically identify harmonic patterns and the well-known Shark pattern on the price chart.

Due to the complexity of the Shark harmonic patterns and the difficulty of manually identifying them precisely, this indicator serves as a valuable tool for both professional and beginner traders. Focusing on the Shark Pattern, this indicator uses key Fibonacci ratios, including 0.886, 1.13, and 1.618, to precisely identify patterns.
