Strategy #0000000128 · Technical analysis and price patterns
Candlestick patterns and OHLC scenarios
Choose a pattern and enter prior open/close, current OHLC, assumed next return and costs.
Candlestick analysis defines one- or multi-bar patterns such as engulfing, hammer and doji from open, high, low and close. Patterns depend on prior trend, timeframe and exact rules; classic research finds no value after costs in Dow stocks. This tool checks manually entered two-bar OHLC values against simplified pattern rules.
No price data or success rate is loaded; pattern detection does not imply an exploitable edge.
Three ways in
Understand the story. Then inspect the risk.
Start with a familiar situation, check the payoff, then test how the numbers change.
The idea · in two minutes
Do supplied OHLC values match engulfing, hammer or doji patterns and directional scenarios?

Engulfing: C_{t-1}<O_{t-1},\ C_t>O_t,\ O_t\leq C_{t-1},\ C_t\geq O_{t-1}
Illustrates bullish/bearish engulfing, hammer and doji only; the hammer rule does not check a prior downtrend.

Practical context · published observations
Candlestick patterns and OHLC scenarios: read the record with its caveats.
The chart uses the published figures or explicitly labelled study inputs below. A historical index or model replay is not the same as an investor’s realised account return.

| Conservative version | Higher cost/loss | Stress higher costs, larger losses or lower liquidity. | May lower scenario returns. |
| Validation version | Data review | Test model inputs with consistent contracts and timestamps. | Needs licensed, representative data. |
