Pattern Scanner

Ultimate Pattern Scanner — multi-timeframe candlestick discovery tool (educational use only).

Purpose: This script scans user-selected timeframes for classical candlestick patterns (for example: engulfing, morning/evening stars, hammers, dojis, tasuki gaps, three soldiers/crows, tweezers, marubozu, and others) and reports pattern name, detection price, directional signal (Bull / Bear / Neutral), and a simple volume participation metric. It is intended as an idea-generation and training tool to help traders learn pattern mechanics, not as an automated trading system.

Main modules and rationale: 1) Pattern engine — applies classical candle structure rules to detect formations; 2) SMA trend filter (configurable length) — provides a directional bias to favor trade-with-trend setups; 3) Volume heuristic — approximates participation by separating candles into buy-like and sell-like volume and comparing total volume to a moving average; 4) Multi-timeframe aggregator — collects and presents pattern results from multiple timeframes; 5) Alerts — optional alerts list detected patterns and TFs. Combining these modules is intentional: patterns provide structure, SMA provides context, and volume supplies participation confirmation. Together they improve the educational value and practical relevance of each detected pattern.

How to use: Choose timeframes and SMA length that match your trading horizon. Use the scanner to locate pattern candidates, then confirm with higher-timeframe agreement and volume ratio before considering trade entry. Use structural stops (recent swing highs/lows or ATR-based stops) and define risk:reward rules. For learning, replay alerted bars and record outcomes over fixed horizons to build empirical statistics.

Limitations: Volume classification (close>open) is a heuristic and not a true bid/ask tape. SMA is a lagging trend proxy. Multi-timeframe agreement reduces but does not eliminate false signals, especially around news or in low-liquidity instruments. Use demo accounts and backtesting before live trading.

Inputs you can adjust: timeframe list, SMA length, volume MA length, which patterns to enable/disable, display options.
