How It Works
The indicator analyzes each candle's open, high, low, and close relationships in real-time. For single-candle patterns, it evaluates body size, wick ratios, and position within the recent range. For multi-candle patterns, it tracks sequences across 2-5 candles looking for specific structural relationships. Each detected pattern is labeled on-chart with an arrow and strength rating.
Best Trading Pairs & Instruments
Price action traders on H1 and H4 timeframes. Excellent confirmation tool when combined with supply/demand zones or order blocks.
This indicator performs exceptionally well when combined with the DarkWolf MT5 EA, which uses similar logic to automatically trade these same instruments 24/5. Whether you prefer manual analysis or fully automated execution, the underlying market principles remain the same.
Recommended Timeframes
M15, M30, H1, H4
