This indicator lets you define your own custom pattern instead of other common candlestick patterns which everyone knows about like the Doji pattern. once the indicator knows the pattern you want it to look for then it will go through past and future bars on the chart, make them visible to you, and gather statistics. These statistics include the percentage of bullish and bearish candles that immediately followed the pattern. So the user will have a statistical advantage in knowing what type the next candle will be and can trade accordingly.

Possible Uses:

• As a supplement to an existing trading system. For example, only placing a buy trade if the bullish percentage is above 50%.
• It can be used in binary options trading since the outcome of the candle is known in advance.
• For your own statistical analysis or record keeping. For example, if you want to make your own EA using a certain reliable pattern.

Settings:

• Shift - This input is used to make the indicator recognize where on the chart it needs to look for a pattern. This is the shift relative to the current open candle that the pattern ended on. Or in other words, how many candles ago that the pattern starts going from right to left.
• Date_Time - This does the same as the 'Shift' input except that you can define the pattern by MT4 date/time instead of a shift. For example, if you plot a vertical line on the chart, you will see that the line has a date and time on the bottom. This is the same format that this input will use. So as an example, you could input '2014.04.22 08:30' or something like this. Just keep the format the same with no extra characters or spaces.
  
  Note: You must either use 'Shift' or 'Date_Time'. There is no other option for telling the indicator where to start on the chart. There is no need to use both. Just use one method.
