Candlestick charting is a Japanese technique of charting that was first introduced in the 17th century. Steve Nison is known worldwide as the father of modern candlestick charting and has written many books on the candlestick charting technique.

How to Use

Tipu Candle Patterns is a multi time frame pattern recognition indicator. It visually marks patterns for multiple time frames on the chart, and also shows their age on the panel. For example, if a bullish engulfing pattern appears on a H1 chart, Tipu Candle Patterns will create box around the pattern and change the panel representing H1. This visual box will be visible on lower time frame (M5, M15, M30), but will not be visible on higher time frame.
