Candlestick patterns with alerts in Trade Ideas: Hammer, Engulfing, Piercing, Hanging Man, Dark Cloud Cover, Doji, and a candle forming

Candle patterns as they form.

Key point

Searching for a candlestick pattern scanner or a candlestick pattern screener? In Trade Ideas, this is Streaming Alerts: each pattern on each time frame is its own alert, so you turn on only the patterns you trade.

Streaming Alerts push each Candle Pattern alert the moment it fires.

Example

A candlestick pattern is a shape made by one or a few price candles. A doji, for example, is a candle whose open and close are very close or identical, a sign of indecision between buyers and sellers. The Candle Pattern category groups every Trade Ideas alert that watches for one of these shapes; you choose the time frame by choosing the alert (HMR2 is a 2 minute hammer, HMR60 a 60 minute hammer).

How Trade Ideas finds it: 5 Minute Hammer Alert (HMR5): by default, 5 Minute Hammer alert appears when there is a traditional hammer pattern on a standard candlestick 5 minute chart. 5 Minute Bullish Engulfing Alert (NGU5): by default, the 5 minute bullish engulfing alert appears when there is a bullish engulfing pattern on a 5 minute candlestick chart.
