Candle Stick Data Identifier: Free MT5 Expert Advisor

Overview

Candle Stick Data Identifier functions as an analytical utility rather than an automated trading robot, drawing vertical lines on the chart when specific patterns are detected based on the relative size of the candle body and wicks. The logic calculates the significance of candle components compared to a rolling average of recent price data. It lacks automated trade execution, stop loss controls, or lot sizing features, as it is primarily designed for visual identification and pattern recognition.
