Doji Hammer Star Scanner

Doji Hammer Star Scanner by Ats9 is an advanced multi-pattern candlestick detection tool designed to identify four of the most powerful reversal patterns: Doji, Hammer, Inverted Hammer, and Shooting Star. It enhances classical candlestick analysis by automatically plotting horizontal breakout levels, enabling traders to spot actionable opportunities with precision.

This indicator is ideal for both novice and professional traders looking for clean, rule-based entries based on classic price action psychology.



🧠 What It Does

The scanner constantly monitors price to detect:

🔹 Doji – Signals indecision and potential reversal
🔹 Hammer – Bullish reversal pattern after a downtrend
🔹 Inverted Hammer – Bullish pattern showing buyer recovery
🔹 Shooting Star – Bearish reversal pattern after an uptrend

Once a pattern is detected, it highlights the candle with a label and background, and draws two horizontal lines across the high and low of that candle. These levels represent a potential breakout zone.



📈 How to Trade It (Ats9’s Strategy)

This indicator was developed around Ats9’s breakout trading methodology, which focuses on confirmation through price action:
1. Wait for a valid pattern (Doji, Hammer, etc.) to appear.
2. The indicator draws horizontal lines at the high and low of that pattern candle.
3. Monitor for breakouts:
• Bullish breakout: Price closes above the high → Consider long entry.
• Bearish breakout: Price closes below the low → Consider short entry.
4. Once a new pattern forms, the old horizontal lines disappear, and new ones are placed—keeping your chart clean and focused.

This method ensures clarity, patience, and structure—ideal for capturing reliable reversal breakouts.
