Closed-Candle Scanner for Structure, Liquidity, and Reversal Patterns

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a chart scanner that labels several price-action features: liquidity sweeps, structure breaks, fair value gaps, reversal patterns, and inside bars. It presents the scanner as a way to review multiple candle patterns directly on a chart and inspect a configurable number of recent bars.

Its stated design analyzes only completed candles, excluding the candle still forming. This avoids signals changing as the current candle develops. The description gives no testing results, detailed pattern definitions, or evidence about signal accuracy, so it does not establish whether the labels predict future price movement or suit any particular market or timeframe.

Key ideas

  • The scanner identifies several price-action patterns and structure events on a chart.
  • It analyzes completed candles and omits the currently forming candle.
  • A multi-candle view lets users inspect patterns across a chosen span of recent bars.
  • The document does not provide performance evidence or explain how the patterns are defined.
