• Three White Soldiers – Three consecutive bullish candles closing near their highs, signaling strong bullish continuation.
• Piercing Line – A bullish candle opens below the previous bearish close but closes above its midpoint, indicating reversal.
• Stars – A small candle gaps away from a larger candle, showing hesitation and possible reversal.
• Harami – A small candle contained within the body of a larger candle, suggesting a potential reversal.
• Three Inside/Outside Up & Down – Patterns formed by three consecutive candles closing above or below previous highs/lows, indicating reversals.

How to Use the Patterns Indicator in MT5

1. Identify Reversal Signals – Look for engulfing, piercing line, harami, or star patterns to anticipate reversals.
2. Spot Continuation Signals – Use three black crows or three white soldiers to confirm ongoing trends.
3. Combine with Other Tools – Validate signals with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance analysis.

For example, on the EUR/USD M30 chart, a bullish engulfing pattern may suggest a reversal to the upside, while three black crows indicate bearish continuation.
