Abstract: A method for generating markup information and annotating a time series chart to display recognized pattern formations. Pivot points in the time series are identified and categorized. The pivot points are then analyzed to recognize desired pattern formations. The time series is then graphically displayed with the pivot points marked and labeled. Lines drawn between the pivot points display the recognized pattern to a user. Breakout (trend) lines can also be included. The time series can include time series of financial data, such as stock prices, medical data, such as electrocardiogram results, or any other data that can be presented as a time series, and in which it is desirable to identify turning points, trends, formations or other information.
