How to Print CandleStickPattern

[Kensonprib]

Hello,

I am looking to have NT print to an output some data for an analysis of mine. So far I have that working and it is doing great for a number of indicators I am interested in. Currently, I am attempting to have NT include in this same print something which lets me know if it detects one of the 25 or so candle stick patterns found here https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ickpattern.htm

Is this possible?

Hello Kensonprib,

With how the indicator reports you would have to make individual conditions for the patterns you are interested in. For example:

string pattern; 
if (CandlestickPattern(ChartPattern.BullishEngulfing, 4)[0] == 1)
{
    pattern = "BullishEngulfing";
}
else if (CandlestickPattern(ChartPattern.MorningStart, 4)[0] == 1)
{
    pattern = "MorningStart";
}

// other conditions like the one above

Print(pattern);

On any bar where a pattern is found it would print the name of that pattern. You would have to manually repeat the condition a few times for the ones you wanted but you can simplify it like shown by using a variable for the found pattern name and printing once at the end of all your conditions.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
