Candlestick Structures

Highlight key candle formations only after body, wick, trend, ATR, and volume filters agree.

Indicator overview

Use this indicator to pick out meaningful reversal and continuation patterns without inspecting every candle manually. Green labels mark bullish structures and red labels mark bearish ones, including engulfing candles, hammers, morning or evening stars, soldiers, and crows.

The label is a prompt, not a complete trade signal. Reversal patterns matter most near support or resistance, while continuation patterns matter most when they align with the existing trend. Labels appear only after the full pattern is complete, making them useful for confirmation rather than prediction.
