As you know, the Japanese candles usually form easily recognizable chart patterns which are indicative of possible future price behavior in the form of drops, rises, a continuation of the current trend, and trend changes.

That’s where this indicator is useful because it identifies 10 major candlestick patterns both in bullish and bearish trends and other minor patterns that often occur with some regularity. The result is that the trader can take advantage of any interesting opportunity such as a possible trend change indicated by one of these chart patterns.
