Candle Patterns in Forex World

Hello Forex Gods out there,

I have been doing quite some research on Candle Patterns as little programmer idiot inside me itching me to write a reasonable indicator which helps me guiding to take trades. EA is far ahead for now and I am concentrating only on reasonable indicator. BabyPips educational resource is good for providing some patterns atleast but i am trying document all of the available patterns so i can start working on Indicator. I have to admit that i gathered some patterns from current exisiting indicators(mql code base) even though they fail to recognize or irrelevant to forex i guess. I am listing out what i have gathered so far and i request everyone here to add their inputs to those whether they belong to forex world or just stock trading. Please add if anything are missing. I hope this post will act as good resource for newbies.

Thank you for this huge list! It was a great job :o it is really useful for newbie like me)) And how do you think are all of them important or we can allocate the most fundamental and basic among them?

Yes, that is just the point.

Hi,

In charts, we can’t expect which candlestick pattern is going to happen. If you know many of the candles patterns it will be helpful for you. You also need to combine other factors such as support and resistance to identify the trade.

Isn’t it amazing that, as humans, we need to label everything. Sorry to burst your bubble bro but candlestick patterns are pretty easy to code and hold no special powers. And putting bear or bull in front does noting either.

Ok I got most of that list down , now could someone tell me what does the silver dot on the green candlestick in live trading signify.

So can you tell me what the silver dot on the green candlestick in MT4 during active trading signifies
