The Quasimodo Pattern Indicator (Quasimodo) is part of a series of TradingView indicators that helps identify the QM pattern, one of the robust and reliable technical analysis patterns in the RTM style.

 Due to its structural resemblance to the character Quasimodo in Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," this pattern is named after him. This specific type of Head and Shoulders (H&SH) pattern assists traders in identifying Trend Reversal points.

Its difference from the Head and Shoulders pattern lies in creating CHOCH (Change of Character), which can increase its performance reliability.

Overview

The Quasimodo Pattern Indicator signals a potential price trend reversal and can be used as confirmation at key chart points where a trend reversal is likely.

By identifying the QM pattern, this indicator specifies entry points and take-profit and stop-loss levels, enabling traders to enter trades accordingly.

QM Pattern in an Uptrend

The following image shows the price chart of USDJPY in a 1-minute timeframe. After a sustained uptrend, the left shoulder forms, and the price creates a new peak (head) higher than the left shoulder's peak. After the price drops toward the previous low, we witness a CHOCH (Change of Character) as it breaks the low, followed by a movement back up to reach a level equal to the left shoulder.

The QM pattern is complete, and a sell trade can be initiated.

Take-Profit and Stop-Loss for the QM Pattern

The indicator sets the area above the head (highest peak) as the stop-loss and the last low where CHOCH occurred as the take-profit.

Thank you for providing excellent trading tools and education on a consistent basis. I have found your site as one of my favourite trading depositories since I discovered it. I was looking for Quasimodo Pattern for MT5 but realised that it's only available for TV. Creating the MT5 version will be truly appreciated. Thank you for your excellent service.
