Candle Pattern Winrate Stats ## 📊 Candle Pattern Winrate Stats
This indicator is designed to transform candlestick patterns from subjective, belief-based signals into objective, data-driven statistics.
It automatically evaluates the historical performance (winrate) of multiple candlestick patterns directly on your chart.

## 🔍 Core Concept
Instead of assuming that a pattern works, this script answers a more important question:
"Does this pattern actually have a statistical edge?"
The indicator:
- Detects predefined candlestick patterns (e.g., Hammer, Doji, Engulfing)
- Records each occurrence as a discrete event
- Evaluates price movement after a fixed number of candles (lookforward window)
- Classifies outcomes as Win or Loss
- Aggregates results into a measurable winrate
This allows traders to move from visual interpretation → to empirical validation.

## ⚙️ How It Works
### 1. Pattern Detection
Supports multiple pattern categories:
- Bullish Reversal (1 / 2 / 3 candles)
- Bearish Reversal
- Shadow-based patterns (Hammer, Shooting Star)
- Neutral patterns (Doji, Spinning Top)
Each pattern can be enabled or disabled independently.
---
### 2. Winrate Calculation Logic
For every detected pattern:
- A forward window (X candles) is defined
- Price movement is evaluated after that window
- If price moves in the expected direction → Win
- Otherwise → Loss
All results are stored and continuously updated to reflect real historical performance.

### 3. Filtering (Noise Reduction)
Optional filters improve signal quality:
- EMA Trend Filter
Restricts signals based on trend direction (e.g., bullish patterns only above EMA)
- Volume Filter
Filters out low-volume conditions using a moving average of volume
These filters help isolate higher-quality statistical samples.

### 4. Statistical Controls
- Min Samples
Displays only patterns with sufficient sample size to avoid unreliable conclusions
- Percentile Lookback
Normalizes performance relative to recent market conditions
- Tolerance (%)
Defines acceptable similarity between price values (e.g., open ≈ close)

## 🔬 Methodology & Statistical Framework
This script treats each candlestick pattern as a discrete statistical event rather than a visual signal.
For every detected pattern:
- A fixed forward return horizon is applied (lookforward window)
- Outcomes are simplified into binary classification (win / loss)
- Empirical probabilities are derived from aggregated historical samples
Unlike traditional candlestick indicators, this approach enables:
- Objective measurement of pattern performance
- Direct comparison across different pattern types
- Reduction of subjective bias in decision-making

## 📋 Output
- Winrate (%) for each pattern
- Number of samples (data reliability)
- On-chart summary table (customizable position)
---
## 🧠 Professional Usage
❌ Avoid:
- Using patterns as direct entry signals
✅ Recommended:
- Use winrate as a filtering tool
- Focus on statistically significant patterns
- Combine with:
- Market Structure
- Supply / Demand
- Trend context

## 📊 Example Interpretation
Pattern | Winrate | Sample | Insight
---|---|---|---
Hammer | 62% | 120 | Usable
Doji | 48% | 300 | No statistical edge
Engulfing | 68% | 80 | Strong signal
---
## ⚠️ Important Notes
- Winrate ≠ Profit (risk/reward must be considered)
- Market conditions evolve → statistics may change over time
- Results vary across different timeframes and assets
- Be cautious of overfitting when sample size is small

## 🎯 Who Is This For
- System traders
- Quantitative / data-driven traders
- Developers building trading bots (MQL5, Pine Script, Python)
- Traders seeking objective validation over subjective analysis
