Capital Synergy - Candle Stick Patterns

Swordfish Indicators
Candle Stick Patterns

Updated: 2014/12/13

This indicator attempts to tag some of the commonly used candle stick patterns on a Swordfish chart. The following single, double, triple and other candle stick formations are currently approximated:

Single Candle
Spinning Tops
Marobozus
Dojis
Hammers
Hangman and Shooting Star

Double Candle
Engulfing Candles
Tweezers

Triple Candle
Morning and Evening Stars

Other
Gaps

A no parameter version of this indicator is also available. CS_CSPAll sets all the candlestick patterns to On and sets the label distance to 200. This version is much easier to install.

The Swordfish indicator to can be downloaded here.

Version with parameters - CS_CSP

Version without parameters - CS_CSPAll

Create Candle Stick Patterns on your Swordfish by following the instructions below:
Follow the detailed instructions for the Custom Indicator Installation Example if you are unsure of how to add an indicator or watch our YouTube video.

Create a new custom FML script like the one shown below. Mine is named: CS_CSP
Remember that Swordfish FML does not allow spaces or many other characters in the name. Only use alphanumerics and underscores.

Candle Stick Patterns Indicator Manager

The Candle Stick Patterns indicator uses 10 parameters that have to be added manually when you create the script.
 The first 9 parameters are used to switch formations on or off. Use 1 if you what to see a pattern and 0 if not.
Switching all patterns on can clutter the chart screen.
The last parameter LabelGap specifies the distance between the candles and the labels. Use a smaller number for shorter periodicity charts and larger for EOD and longer.
