Double Top

Install and import

bash

npm install fintech-algorithms

import { double_top } from "fintech-algorithms/geometric-chart-patterns/reversal-structures/double-top";

Signature

double_top()

Worked example

executed This entry is a thin wrapper its test never calls directly, so it was invoked with the arguments its shared implementation received. Real output, not asserted against a published figure.

Input

argument 1

[100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105]

Showing 6 of 72 elements.

Call

double_top()

Returns

object with 7 fields: pattern, state, reason, event, events, pivots, parameters
