Program 44 is designed to look for ‘ghost’ patterns in the Commodity Channel Index (CCI). Some view ghost patterns as a sign of a potential reversal. The program defines a bearish ‘ghost’ pattern as one where there are 3 high pivots and the middle pivot is higher then the ones on either side.
Similarly, a bullish ‘ghost’ pattern is one where there are 3 low pivots and the middle pivot is lower then the ones on either side.
The program is user configurable and the user may look for ghost patterns on regular CCI, Fast CCI, Markplex smoothed CCI or Markplex fast smoothed CCI. The user may select the CCI using the WhichCCI user input. A setting of 1 is for regular CCI, 2 is for fast CCI, 3 is for Markplex smoothed CCI and 4 is for Markplex smoothed fast CCI.
The CCI itself is configured by the following inputs: CCILength, FastLength, SmoothLength and FastSmoothLength.
The CCI pivots are configured using LeftStrength and RightStrength. So, for example is LeftStrength were set 3 and RightStrength to 2, for high CCI pivot there would have to be 3 bars to the left of the pivot where the CCI value was less than the pivot CCI value and 2 bars to the right of the pivot where the CCI value was less than the pivot CCI value.
In the video example below I demonstrate a workspace where the indicator prints the words: ‘Ghost’ or ‘Bullghost’ on the price action shown on subgraph one when a pattern is confirmed. On subgraph 2 the various CCIs are plotted together with patterns highlighted and lines drawn across the ‘shoulders’ of the patterns. In order to achieve this configuration DrawText must be set to TRUE for the indicator applied to sub graph 1 and DrawText must be set to FALSE for the indicator applied to sub graph 2. A listing of the complete list of inputs may be found below.
Provided user input: DrawText is set to false for bearish ghost patterns if low pivots are found between the high pivots, a line is drawn connecting these low pivots. Similarly for bullish ghost patterns if high pivots are found between the low pivots, a line is drawn connecting these high pivots.

The program works by storing newly found CCI pivots in 2 arrays, a low pivot array and a high pivot array. Each time a new pivot is found it is compared with previously found pivots to see if a ghost pattern has occurred.
