Autochartist is a powerful pattern-recognition tool available to all IG Markets clients. It takes the hard work out of monitoring and analysing markets, automatically identifying signs of emerging trends and alerting you to potential dealing opportunities.

Chart pattern recognition theory has been widely used since the 1930s, and is regarded by many traders as a benchmark to gauge oversold or overbought levels in terms of market psychology.
