Library "BjCandlePatterns"

Patterns is a Japanese candlestick pattern recognition Library for developers. Functions here within detect viable setups in a variety of popular patterns. Please note some patterns are without filters such as comparisons to average candle sizing, or trend detection to allow the author more freedom.



doji(dojiSize, dojiWickSize) Detects "Doji" candle patterns
