Japanese Candlestick Recognition Indicator

New comment
 

Attached is the Pattern Alert indicator, which I believe was developed for MT4 by Jason Robinson in 2005.

Sorry if it has been posted before. Just want to say that this is a good indicator.

As most of us know, Steve Nilson is credited with bringing Japanese Candlestick Charting to the West. His book, Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques, is one of the great reads in financial trading. There has been a subsequent 2nd edition.

Also attached is a EUR/USD 1-Hour chart with the indicator working and labels triggered on the chart. The Japanese candlestick patterns are not meant to be a stand-alone system, so we must use other tools to verify.

Other tools/indicators may include a cross-over, oversold-overbought, and S/R such as fibs.

Almost all of the patterns are to identify potential reversals. 2 of the most popular are the "Engulfing" and the "Doji".

Perhaps a thread in the tutorial section is prudent.

Cheers

 

Thanks for sharing. Candlestick patterns are an old, reliable and basic way to trade.

 

thanks for sharing,, this is a good indicator

 

A wonderful collection no doubt. A must for beginners. Must have it. Thanks

 

Here's another one, sorry if it's been posted before. More comprehensive group of patterns. I've been familiar with with candlestick patterns since the mid-1990's but having it automated with alert is very convenient.

 

Thanks for this on too.
