How to use the Japanese Candlestick Patterns Indicator in MT4
Japanese candlestick means displaying price movement over a predetermined time frame. By showing the price movement precisely, they offer helpful information, such as market sentiment or potential market reversals.
The Japanese Candlestick Patterns will show you all the chart patterns it detects within the past 200 bars. However, it doesn’t filter trend-following signals. So, you may need to add a trend indicator to place the trades within the current market momentum.
In the above daily USD/JPY chart, we’ve added a 10-day simple moving average to assess the market bias. So, once the price exceeds the 10-SMA, we can decide only to pick buy signals in line with the bullish trend. As you can see, each time we activated buy orders based on the bullish candlestick patterns above the moving average made a successful upside run.
Although, there is no concrete rule for not going against the trend. With the Japanese Candlestick Patterns, you can also anticipate counter-trade signals. For instance, the chart prints a bearish engulfing pattern and fails to exceed a significant resistance level. It means the price has lost its bullish momentum, and it’s time to activate sell orders.
