Candle patterns

I got an interesting idea that I haven't read about anywhere. Everyone knows that candlesticks are just a representation of how the price have moved in a given time period. But normally the candle patterns are stuck on a fixed time start and end.
It really shouldn't matter. I mean, a railroad track (marubozu) pattern could usually also be a gravestone or dragonfly doji if you shift the start and end time.

So I modified an pattern recognition indicator to look for patterns over a X amount of candles.
For example I can on a 1 minute chart every minute look if an engulfing pattern just was created when using the last 60 (for example) bars as a complete candle.

I got to many hits. I tried different patterns and harami seems to be the most consistent over all timeframe and symbols. So I changed it a bit so only the first pattern in one direction shows until a pattern in the other direction shows up.

This is two random timeframes on two random pairs. Looks interesting to me.



This is just something I did this evening. I will trim the code and look it over some more but I really think something interesting can be found here. Maybe post here if anyone is interested?

Just tell me if you want to see a specific symbol on a specific timeframe and on a specific date.
