Double Top Pattern (Python Version)

Double Top identifies two peaks separated by a number of bars with similar prices. After the second peak forms, a bearish candle confirms the reversal.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 58%. It performs best in the stocks market.

The strategy sells short upon confirmation with a stop above the pattern highs, aiming to profit from a trend change after buyers are exhausted.

Positions are closed via stop-loss or discretionary targets.
