What Is It?
The Candle Pattern Confirmations is an advanced indicator for MetaTrader 5 (MT5) designed to identify and confirm candlestick patterns with high probability of trend reversal or continuation. It visually highlights candles that form Engulfing (Bullish/Bearish) and Inside Bars patterns, assisting traders in making more assertive decisions with real-time confirmation.
Main Features
Automatic Pattern Detection
- Detects Bullish Engulfing and Bearish Engulfing.
- Identifies Inside Bars, a consolidation pattern that may precede significant movements.
Real-Time Confirmation
- Not only marks patterns but waits for confirmation on the next candle, increasing signal reliability.
Intuitive colors
- Green → Confirmed Bullish Engulfing.
- Red → Confirmed Bearish Engulfing.
- Blue → Inside Bar with confirmed breakout.
Trend Filter
- Includes functions to detect uptrend (IsUptrend) and downtrend (IsDowntrend), avoiding false signals in sideways markets.
How to Analyze the Patterns?
1. Bullish Engulfing (Green) What Is It?
A bullish candle completely engulfs the previous bearish candle, indicating strong buying pressure.
How to Trade?
- Wait for confirmation: the next candle must close above the Engulfing candle.
- Ideal in downtrends for potential reversals.
2. Bearish Engulfing (Red) What Is It?
A bearish candle fully covers the previous bullish candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
How to Trade?
- Confirmation: next candle closes below the Engulfing candle.
- Best performance in uptrends, warning of potential reversals.
3. Inside Bar (Blue) What Is It?
A candle with highs and lows contained within the previous candle, indicating indecision before a breakout.
How to Trade?
- Breakout upwards (bullish) → Target above the previous candle's high.
- Breakout downwards (bearish) → Target below the previous candle's low.
- Excellent for breakout traders during consolidation periods.

Conclusion
The Candle Pattern Confirmations is a powerful tool for traders using candlestick analysis.
