Candlestick Patterns for Identifying Potential Trend Entries

Summary

The document describes an indicator intended to flag possible entry points from candlestick formations, with the goal of reducing the attention required during fast, volatile scalping. The user selects either a bullish or bearish trend mode, and the indicator searches for patterns associated with that direction.

For bullish mode, the listed signals include hammer variants, engulfing and harami patterns, a morning star, and building momentum. Bearish mode uses shooting star, hanging man, engulfing and harami patterns, an evening star, and bearish building momentum. The document mentions a live trading session but gives no performance statistics, entry or exit rules, risk controls, or validation of predictive value; these pattern flags therefore indicate potential setups rather than established profitable signals.
