Not sure what you mean here. Do you want me to put the code up I have or examples of some of the stocks it finds?
It generally finds larger scale ascending, descending or symmetrical triangles, but has trouble finding the smaller congestion patterns.

Jack Schwager's book Getting Started In Technical Analysis has a lot of useful info on how to identify and trade Continuation Patterns. One of the imprtant things he says which most other authors fail to mention is that about 'counter-to-anticipated' breakouts. For example, if a Bullish Flag (or an Up Flag) breaks down instead of up, it can be a particularly strong signal to go short. Seen a bit of this in the current market.

The market seems to be at a turning point.
Forward and up, or a retreat to the big correction.
Anyone notice any significant breakouts?

I've been avoiding congestion patterns for a over a year now. Now that the overall market is trending congestion patterns are back in play. I'll post a few later today.
BSL was a missed one for me unfortunately.

RIO appears to have broken out.
Next Resistance is $75.
I may consider a buy if it retreats to previous resistance at $60.
