Define a research universe 500, 1000 names... depends on your time dedicated for market research each day & weekend.

Make sure you go through the same list every single day.

What you miss earlier you might capture later.

You see the development of price charts better
Open each chart with the same template. Don't go into style drift by saying: Hmm.. let me see what X indicator is doing or let me go into hourly chart etc.

You have 1hr (or how much it takes to finish the list you have built) to finish the work and move off the screen.
Before you finalize, see if any pattern fit your criteria. Save those to a separate folder and review them the next day first thing after the market close. That's your watchlist.
Remember, chart patterns do not form frequently. It is ok not to find opportunities every other day. Sometimes a good setup might not form for several days. Be patient.
But most important than everything: Have you decided on what you are looking for? What are the few patterns you want to capture and trade on price charts.

Narrow down your focus. Be very specific with the setups you want to take.

Weekends are dedicated for the review of weekly scale price charts.
After the close of each trading day, review the end of day charts.

After the close of each trading week, review the end of week charts.

Repeat this for a month and you will develop a routine to review markets/patterns.
Since 2007, I've been doing this every single day/week/month.

Finding opportunities has become one of the best part of trading business.

(1) Let's study this chart and discuss some of the concepts in classical charting & technical analysis. It is a great chart. Image
(2) Symmetrical triangle formed right below the 200-day average. Breakout took place at the same price level which I call inflection point. When such condition is met, it is a high conviction setup for me.
(3) Breakout took place with a gap opening. This was a clear breakaway gap as explained by Schabacker.

Breakout took place above the 200-day average and it was a change in trend as well. A significant technical development.

I incorporate breakaway gaps into my analysis as I mainly trade breakouts. Breakaway gaps will appear at the time of breakout through the pattern boundary. Image

If after a breakout your position is holding its gains and not turning negative (no challenge of pattern boundary), chances are high the move will extend way beyond the price objective.

In such cases employ a trend following tool to capture more of the uptrend. Image
Few examples below: Image
