Candlestick Pattern Reader + Cheat Sheet (Label Mode, Stable)
Candlestick Pattern Reader is a practical tool for traders who want crystal-clear candlestick signals without memorizing mnemonics. It detects popular single-, double- and triple-bar patterns, prints full names directly on the chart, and (optionally) filters signals by trend using an EMA. It also provides a compact on-chart cheat-sheet reminder and alert conditions for every pattern.
What it Detects
Bullish patterns
Bullish Engulfing
Bullish Harami
Hammer (pin bar)
Morning Star (3-bar)
Piercing Line
Three White Soldiers
Bearish patterns
Bearish Engulfing
Bearish Harami
Shooting Star (inverted pin)
Evening Star (3-bar)
Dark Cloud Cover
Three Black Crows
Neutral / structure
Inside Bar
Outside Bar
Doji family: Doji, Dragonfly Doji, Gravestone Doji
Crypto note: Star patterns do not require gaps (they’re rare on 24/7 markets); logic uses body/positioning instead.
Key Features
Full-text labels: Clear, readable names (no abbreviations).
EMA Trend Filter (optional): Only show bullish patterns in uptrends and bearish in downtrends.
Bar-close confirmation (optional): Choose confirmed (stable) or intrabar (faster, can move during the live bar).
Sensitivity controls:
Min body % of range (filters tiny bodies)
Doji body % of range
Star (middle bar) small body %
Long-wick multiple for pins
Short wick % for Three Soldiers/Crows
Alerts: Individual alerts for every pattern plus an “Any Candlestick Pattern” aggregate alert.
Cheat-Sheet label: A small on-chart reference that explains each pattern’s usual meaning.
Inputs (most used)
Use EMA Trend Filter (on/off) and EMA Length
Only mark after bar close (on/off)
Sensitivity: minBodyPct, dojiPct, starSmallPct, wickBodyMult, shortWickPct
Display: toggle labels and the cheat-sheet
How to Use
Timeframe: Works on any TF. Many traders prefer 5–60m for active setups; 4H/D for swing confirmation.
Trend filter: Turn Use EMA Trend Filter = ON, EMA Length = 50 (or 100/200 for higher TFs).
Confirmation: For backtests and cleaner signals, set Only mark after bar close = ON.
Confluence: Pair with support/resistance, volume, or momentum (e.g., RSI/MACD) to avoid low-quality context.
Alerts: Add alerts on the specific patterns you trade most, or use Any Candlestick Pattern for discovery.
Alerts Provided
One alert per pattern (e.g., “Bullish Engulfing”, “Shooting Star”, etc.).
Any Candlestick Pattern — fires when any of the above triggers.
Notes & Limitations
No repaint when “Only mark after bar close” is on. Intrabar mode can shift until the bar closes.
Patterns represent price action context, not guaranteed outcomes. Always add risk management.
On very low timeframes, micro-noise increases false positives; use the trend filter and/or higher TF confluence.
Good Defaults
Use EMA Trend Filter: ON
EMA Length: 50
Only mark after bar close: ON
Wick multiple: 2.0
Doji body ≤: 10% of range

This script is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any recommendation to buy or sell any security, cryptocurrency, or instrument. Trading involves risk. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and the outcomes of those decisions.
No guarantees: Past performance (including backtests) does not guarantee future results. Signals can fail, and losses can exceed initial capital, especially with leverage.
Model limits: Pattern detection is probabilistic and context-dependent. Market regimes, news events, gaps, and liquidity conditions can invalidate historical tendencies.
Repainting: With “Only mark after bar close” = ON, labels are final and do not repaint. In intrabar mode (OFF), labels may move or disappear until the bar closes.
Backtest caveats: Backtests may understate slippage, fees, funding, latency, and execution impact. Results can differ materially in live markets.
Do your own due diligence: Verify settings (timeframe, symbol, broker/venue filters) and test on paper before going live. Use appropriate position sizing, stops, and risk limits.
