Base Claim:
1. A method of analyzing a waveform of a stock to detect predetermined patterns in said waveform using a computer system comprising: providing a data record array to said computer system that includes price and volume data of said stock; providing constants to said computer system relating to a definition of said specified predetermined patterns; analyzing said data record array in said computer system to determine if a base has formed that has a top of base value and a bottom of base value that are separated by a specified amount and a temporal length greater than a minimum base length; analyzing said data record array in said computer system to determine the existence of specified said predetermined patterns in said base; analyzing said data record array in said computer system to determine the existence of specified said predetermined patterns that are attached to said base; displaying said predetermined patterns in said base and said predetermined patterns attached to said base.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the process of analyzing said data record array in said computer system to determine if a base has formed further comprises: analyzing said data record array in said computer system to determine a magnitude and temporal value for a top of base; analyzing said data record array in said computer system to determine a magnitude and temporal value for a bottom of base; comparing said magnitude of said top of base and said magnitude of said bottom of base in said computer system to generate a magnitude difference value between said magnitude of said top of base and said magnitude of said bottom of base; comparing said temporal value for said top of base with said temporal value for said bottom of base in said computer system to generate a temporal difference value: obtaining constants comprising a minimum base length and a maximum percentage base correction; determining that a base exists whenever said magnitude difference value is less than said maximum percentage base correction and said temporal difference value is greater than said minimum base length.
