A bit belated on this thread, but I thought I would give those looking
for something interesting on a Sunday a possibility. Here is a link to
some code for pattern recognition of a head and shoulders top.

Not the be-all and end-all in pattern detection. But a valid
starting point for developing a pattern detection algorithm. Certainly
picked up the head and shoulders top in IBM very nicely.
I'm not going to repeat all that was in my prior plugs, but here's the
website again (free 30 day no-strings no-personal-information trial --
complete system editing-testing capability).

PS we do want to hear from potential realtime beta testers.
