Many of the identified candle patterns are only valid in a certain trend direction, e.g. a �Shooting star� may only appear in an up-trend. The indicator provides several techniques which can be used to determine the local trend. This is using the �Trend filter� option.
Currently the following �trend filters� are supported:
- MVA
- Simple moving average. If the current price is above the moving average line then it is an up-trend; if the current price is below the moving average line then it is a down-trend.
- DMI
- Directional Movement Index. The DMI indicator provides 2 outputs: DI+ and DI-. If DI+ is greater than DI- then it is an up-trend; if DI+ is less than DI- then it is a down-trend.
- RSI
- Relative Strength Index. This oscillator is often used for over-bought / over-sold detection. However, because it is essentially counting the ratio of up-moves to down-moves, it is also quite good at determining local trend. If the RSI level is greater than 60 then it is an up-trend; if the RSI level is less than 40 then it is a down-trend.
The �trend filter� can also be turned off (which means patterns can be detected regardless of trend direction).
The indicator provides several options for displaying the identified candle patterns, including labels, tool-tips, shaded rectangle, etc.
A separate �scanner� is also available, which can simultaneously analyse multiple instruments at 3 different time-frames.
