Bullish Engulfing Bearish Engulfing Bullish Harami Bearish Harami Hammer Shooting Star Morning Star Evening Star

How it works

The indicator analyzes the current chart and checks the last candles for selected candlestick formations.

When a bullish pattern is detected, the indicator can display a green arrow below the candle and a text label with the pattern name.

When a bearish pattern is detected, the indicator can display a red arrow above the candle and a text label with the pattern name.

The Moving Average filter can be enabled to detect patterns only in the selected trend context. You can use SMA or EMA and adjust the MA period according to your trading style.

Who can use this indicator

Price action traders Forex traders Gold traders Crypto traders Stock and index traders Beginners learning Japanese candlestick patterns Traders who want a simple visual candlestick signal tool

Recommended usage

Use this indicator to quickly find potential candlestick setups on the active chart. For better signal quality, combine detected patterns with support and resistance levels, trend direction, market structure, volatility, and proper risk management.

Higher timeframes such as H1, H4, and D1 usually provide cleaner candlestick signals. On lower timeframes, it is recommended to use the Moving Average filter to reduce market noise.

Important

This indicator is not a trading robot and does not open trades automatically. It is a technical analysis tool for visual detection of candlestick patterns.

Candlestick patterns should not be used as standalone trading signals. Always confirm signals with additional analysis and use proper risk management.

Candlestick Pattern Detector for MT4 is a simple and useful tool for traders who want to add automatic Japanese candlestick pattern recognition to their MetaTrader 4 charts.
