I am doing a study on specific candle patterns and plan to include it in a strategy. I searched BM and Ninja forums and found the attached indicator. It's a very good start. It has quite a few patterns that I was looking for but missing just a few. The current display clutters the chart and makes it difficult for reading. I would like the patterns be displayed as options which can be activated or deactivated as necessary. Also instead of using the full name of the pattern, it could use a color marker (arrow, dots, star, etc.) taking less space on the chart. The missing patterns are as follows:
Doji (common, long legged, Dragon fly, Grave stone) Shooting Star, Tweetzer Top, Tweetzer Bottom, High Wave.
I am not a programmer and so I am hoping someone will have the time to code this for us.

This is just a short general list and doesn't cover everything. If you are unsure where to create your new thread, just create it in Traders Hideout and a moderator will move it if necessary.
Im using a black background and the charts dont show a regular doji because the cross is black itself. it only
shows up as a hi-lo bar is there a way to fix this where I dont have to use candle outline.
Thanks
The attached indicator has taken it a step forward and can display all patterns. I am looking for some help with some missing patterns and the way they get displayed.
Hey guys, I thought many of you would enjoy and benefit from this thread. My intention is to have each poster reply and describe in as much detail as possible an indicator they want created for NinjaTrader.
Would be appreciated if you can make sure that the list of candle patterns is complete. There are many important ones missing. I am sure some of the experts on the forum could give the best references for the definitive list.
Japanese Candlestick Charting Explained
is one I have seen - not sure if this is the best list - IIRC there is a definitive book on JCS which covers everyting - maybe someone else can remind us
I uploaded CandleStickDoctor, which should give you a leg up. There is an enum that has all the results for each bar. You should be able to use this in a strategy. PM me if you have difficulty and I can help out.
