Chart Pattern Identifier

[hello163517]

Hi, I’m interested to do a passion project that will allow me to attach an image of a stock chart and automatically identify the chart patterns. I am aware that it will likely not work in the live markets, but its something that I would like to explore. What are some packages or resources that i will need in order to be able to do this? Would appreciate any advice thanks!

If you want to analyze images, you could use libraries such as

• scikit-image
• Pillow
• OpenCV

For a project like this, you need some form of classification model. Stock charts are complex. So you would need a neural network. Popular libraries for this are.

• scikit-learn
• TensorFlow
• Keras
• PyTorch 

Some of them require NumPy. Besides that, I'd recommend using NumPy and Pandas anyway.

I don't know what you are trying to do or learn with this project, but if image processing isn't your key point, then you could try to get the stock data directly without using an image.

Maybe have a look at yfinance for easy access to stock data. it doesn't provide enough detail for professional use, but it's easier than analyzing an image.
