This section contains examples which show how to work with Candlestick pattern indicators - how to:

• Find a pattern by shift and by candlestick bar interval.
• Find the latest occurrence of the pattern.
• Plot patterns on chart - both single and multiple.
• Use designated set of candlestick patterns in the same strategy.
• Use all 61 candlestick patterns in the same strategy.

• On every candlestick (i.e. in the onBar method) it checks if it is of hammer pattern.

Also the strategy plots the indicator on chart:
