Have you looked at the Patterns available for Scans...??? Add Filter > Patterns and de-select the ones you don't want to use... Bullish Pennant isn't in the list so you might need to create it using the Pattern Editor... I'll leave it to you to research further in the Learning Center...Any one know how to setup a scanner for Bullish Pennant & Falling Wedge
I have never done it but I know it is covered in the Learning Center, hence my pointing you there... No need in my learning something I'm not interested in just so I can explain it to you...Do you know how to add the pattern ?
