Frequently Asked Questions
What does this candlestick patterns directory cover?
Read candle bodies and wicks in trend context, compare similar formations, and define confirmation rules. The directory links to 36 guides. Check each guide for sources, examples, and limitations.
Does a working script prove that a trading rule is reliable?
No. Compilation checks language syntax. You still need to examine signal timing, data availability, order assumptions, costs, and performance outside the period used to choose the rules.
