Stop missing reversal setups. The Candlestick Reversal Dashboard automatically scans your entire watchlist across every timeframe and alerts you the instant a pattern forms — with signals that never repaint.
What This Indicator Does
Manually scanning 20 currency pairs across multiple timeframes for candlestick reversal patterns takes hours. By the time you spot a setup, the entry is often already gone. The Candlestick Reversal Dashboard solves this completely.
It automatically detects all 14 classic reversal patterns across up to 20 symbols and 9 timeframes simultaneously. Every confirmed signal is displayed in a clean, scrollable dashboard. One click takes you directly to the chart where the pattern formed.
Signals are generated only after the candle closes. Once a pattern appears in the dashboard, it will never change or disappear — making it fully reliable for live trading and backtesting.

Why Candlestick Patterns Work
Candlestick reversal patterns have been used by traders for over 300 years, originally developed by Japanese rice traders. They work because they reveal the psychological battle between buyers and sellers at critical price levels.
A Hammer at support tells you sellers drove price aggressively lower during the session — but buyers stepped in, rejected those lower prices, and pushed price back up before the close. That rejection is visible in the long lower shadow. The same logic applies to every pattern in the opposite direction.
These patterns are most powerful when they form at key support and resistance levels, after extended trends, or at round psychological numbers. When an H4 pattern aligns with a Daily pattern in the same direction, reliability increases significantly. The dashboard makes that kind of multi-timeframe analysis effortless — all timeframes visible in one place at all times.

Who This Dashboard Is For
Active pattern traders — If you already trade candlestick patterns manually, this eliminates the hours of scanning and ensures you never miss a setup while checking other charts.
Multi-pair traders — One dashboard replaces dozens of open charts. Everything is in one place, updated in real time across all your instruments.
Part-time traders — Mobile push alerts catch pattern completions while you are away from the screen. Check your phone during a break and decide whether to act.
Beginners learning candlestick patterns — The indicator labels every pattern directly on the chart with the pattern name and a clear BUY/SELL arrow, making it an excellent visual learning tool alongside live trading.
System developers — Non-repainting signals confirmed on closed candles give you a consistent, objective foundation for building and backtesting a rule-based trading process.
This dashboard is NOT for you if you are looking for a set-and-forget money-making machine or expect 100% winning signals. No candlestick indicator can replace proper risk management and market context. The dashboard is a precision scanning tool — you bring the analysis.
