This Strategy is based on Patterns3 Indicator and Signal
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=903&hilit=pattern&start=10

I wrote this strategy to test candle pattern trading.

We have some interesting results.
For example, the attached chart on M1 using engulfing pattern.

Algorithms should be adjusted in the future.
For example, I adjusted engulfing to the Forex.
The original did not give any signals.

The Strategy was revised and updated on January 21, 2019.

i am testing, can you add an "inverse strategy" parameter,
i know that the engulfing bullish pattern is a bullish signal not a bearish, or can you tell me
were can i find the theory to understand this candle pattern strategy?

Please, see this strategy. I added a parameter [TypeSignal] in the strategy.

Please check if the parameter "Allow Multiple" is set to "Yes".

This seems to only open short positions...

The strategy has the parameter "Allowed side". If it is set to "Sell", the strategy is allowed to open only short positions.

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was a way to get this strategy to trade both ways (long and short) as it only seems to go short?

I know I have set the parameters correctly
Allowed side - Both
Allow Multiple - Yes

Looking at the backtesting I have done, the strategy does not seem to recognise bullish patterns such as morning star and bullish engulfing.

Can anybody help?

What does "Engulfing Bullish Line" and "Engulfing Bearish Line" mean?

It doesn't seem to pickup Bullish Engulfing and Bearish Engulfing candles? Can this be added?
