Candlestick Patterns
Candlestick patterns are visual representations of price action formed by one or more candlesticks. Common patterns like doji, hammer, engulfing, and pin bar signal potential reversals or continuations and are used by traders as entry or exit triggers.
Why it matters for traders
Candlestick patterns provide entry triggers that can be objectively defined and tracked. When combined with context (key levels, trend direction, volume), specific patterns can have statistically significant win rates — which can be measured in a trading journal.

Do candlestick patterns actually work?
Candlestick patterns work when used with context. A hammer at a key support level has statistically higher predictive value than a hammer in the middle of a trend. Tracking your pattern performance in Tradapt will show you which patterns work in your specific markets and setups.
