Candlesticks Patterns IdentifiedI was using another script that colored the bars to show the different candle patterns. Thanks to HPotter (www.tradingview.com). Unfortunately, I can't think that fast when looking across a screen of charts with different color bars. Fortunately, Tradingview came up with symbols and names on 2/26/15. I decided to take my favorite symbols and attach them to a name. This makes it easier to see what is going on and where your entry would be if it confirms. Works beautifully for me. Decided to share. I also added the ability to alter what shows up based upon a look back. A bullish engulfing at the top of a trend, or a bearish harami at the bottom of the trend, is nearly useless and clutters the chart. I have the default set for the open of the current bar to be higher or lower than the open from 5 bars back. You can adjust in the settings to what you like. This trend setting is on all the patterns except doji. If you want to see all the candle patterns, set it to "1".
The doji can be adjusted as well. I left some other patterns at the bottom of the script, but they are turned off. They became too much of a clutter for me. I prefer DovCaspi's pattern finder for hammers and stars: I use his due to the clean appearance.
The default script has: Doji, Bearish Harami, Bullish Harami, Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, Piercing Line, Bullish Belt, Bullish Kicker, and Bearish Kicker. You can turn off what you don't like. The Piercing Line, Bullish Belt, and the Kickers will usually show up better in the daily charts.

Bearish Engulfing automatic finding scriptHi
Let me introduce my Bearish Engulfing automatic finding script.
This is a bearish candlestick reversal pattern formed by two candlesticks.
Following an uptrend, the first candlestick is a up candlestick which is
followed by a down candlestick which has a long real body that engulfs or
contains the real body of the prior bar. The Engulfing pattern is the reverse
of the Harami pattern.
Bullish Engulfing automatic finding scriptHi
Let me introduce my Bullish Engulfing automatic finding script.
This is a bullish reversal pattern formed by two candlesticks. Following a downtrend,
the first candlestick is a down candlestick which is followed by an up candlestick
which has a long real body that engulfs or contains the real body of the prior bar.
The Engulfing pattern is the reverse of the Harami pattern.
