SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Candlestick pattern recognition engine identifies 15 classic candle patterns and converts them into actionable trading signals, enabling faster, rule-based decision making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pure pandas vectorized implementation recognizing 15 patterns (5 single-candle, 5 double-candle, 4 triple-candle, plus a trend-confirmation signal) and producing a composite score.
  • Score semantics: bullish patterns +1, bearish patterns -1; total score determines long/short/hold decisions and supports both live and backtesting scenarios.
  • Use cases include automated signal generation for strategy prototyping, backtesting on OHLCV data, and rapid hypothesis testing on historical markets.

Quick Start

Run the candlestick engine on your OHLCV data to produce a composite bullish/neutral/bearish signal.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify candlestick patterns in pandas DataFrames for trading?

To identify candlestick patterns in pandas, you need a DataFrame with open, high, low, and close columns. This engine applies vectorized operations to detect 15 classic patterns and generates a composite buy, sell, or neutral signal for your price series.

What candlestick patterns does this signal engine recognize for backtesting?

The signal engine recognizes 15 candlestick patterns for backtesting, comprising 5 single-candle, 5 double-candle, 4 triple-candle, and a trend-confirmation pattern. It scores bullish patterns as +1 and bearish patterns as -1 to calculate a total composite signal.

Can I use candlestick pattern recognition for real-time trading signals?

Yes, you can use this candlestick pattern recognition for real-time trading signals. The vectorized pandas implementation processes OHLCV data to generate composite bullish, bearish, or neutral scores, supporting both live automated trading decisions and historical strategy prototyping.

How does a composite candlestick signal score translate to buy or sell decisions?

A composite candlestick signal score translates to trading decisions by summing pattern values: bullish patterns add +1 and bearish patterns subtract -1. The resulting total score determines long, short, or hold positions for automated short-term trading and backtesting.

Do I need OHLCV data to run candlestick pattern detection?

Yes, you need OHLCV data to run candlestick pattern detection. The engine requires a pandas DataFrame containing open, high, low, and close columns to accurately identify single, double, and triple candlestick patterns and produce trading signals.

What is the best way to automate short-term trading decisions using technical analysis?

The best way to automate short-term trading decisions using technical analysis is scoring 15 candlestick patterns across OHLCV data. This vectorized pandas approach rapidly generates composite long, short, or hold signals for real-time execution or historical hypothesis testing.
