Programatically locating chart geometry

    A chart of course has a high and a low but I've been considering tactics to locate extremes in-between. I would need to specify some parameters regarding resolution which I guess would either be minimum required price movement or perhaps minimum time between events would be better, or a bit of both. Moving averages could smooth things out and make things easier in some ways but then precision is lost. This got me thinking about using a moving average to zone in on where extremes should be and then I would just need to iterate small sections of actual data to refine exact locations. This has been on my to-do list for awhile and I figured it was worth an ask vs. potentially going down a path of unnecessary complication or reinventing the wheel. Thank you.

    Look into the ten case price geometry in the archives, it'll get you on a good foundation and the math is provided,...

    Solve for local extrema,critical points. Maybe can look for sign changes on up/down ticks

    You might look fractals and see if you can find out how they are implemented.
