DS Candlestick Patterns on a white NinjaTrader one-minute chart: a Shooting Star and a Bearish Engulfing framed by corner brackets at two highs and a Tweezer Bottom framed at the low, each named beside its frame, and the Forming Board underneath with a slot for 1m, 5m, 15m and 1h: each timeframe's last candles, the candle still forming with the time it has left, its last pattern (Tweezer Bottom, Piercing Line, Hammer Confirmed) and the next pattern in reach with the closes that would complete it.

Chart pictures are illustrations of the software, not a performance record. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading.

What it is for

Most pattern tools mark every textbook shape they find, and on a one-minute futures chart that is noise: a standard detector marks engulfings all day long. DS Candlestick Patterns asks two more questions of every pattern before it shows it — is it at a real extreme, after a real move, and is it big enough to matter — and reads the canon the way futures trade, through the night and without gaps. A 15-minute Morning Star is built from real 15-minute candles, framed around the one-minute bars it came from, and tagged with the close that confirms it and the close that fails it, so a pattern becomes two prices you can trade against. In its own panel the Forming Board shows each timeframe's candle still forming, the time it has left, and the exact closes that would complete a pattern right now.

What it reads from your chart

Price only: the chart's own bars (open, high, low and close); the higher-timeframe candles are built from them on NinjaTrader's trading hours. No volume and no tick data.
