Universal Candlestick Trading Framework

Universal template Medium

Creates an objective, context-aware method for analyzing candlestick patterns without memorizing names or treating candles as standalone signals.

ID 181

Act as a price-action analyst. I trade the crypto market on 15-minute data. Build a framework for reversal and continuation candles using objective definitions, trend or range context, levels, volume or liquidity, entry, invalidation, target, costs, and conditions for ignoring the pattern. Finish with trade, wait, and reject outcomes and explain how to validate the rules historically.

Single-Candle Reversals: Hammer and Shooting Star

Beginner

Explains hammer and shooting-star candles through structure, location, prior price action, and confirmation rather than shape alone.

ID 182

Act as a candlestick analyst. Define hammer and shooting-star patterns using body and wick proportions, close location, prior trend, volatility, and market context. Explain where they may be relevant, what confirmation to require, how to set invalidation, and the most common errors. Include conditions in which the candle should be ignored.

Bullish and Bearish Engulfing: Signal or Noise?

Beginner

Distinguishes a meaningful engulfing pattern from an arbitrary large candle through context, range, close, liquidity, and follow-through.

ID 183

Act as a price-action analyst. Define bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with objective rules for body, range, gaps, and sequence. Explain where the pattern may matter, what must be engulfed, how to evaluate close and volume or liquidity, when to enter, and when to reject the signal. Include common failure modes and invalidation.

Doji Candles: Indecision, Reversal, or Noise?

Beginner

Clarifies what a doji can indicate and what it cannot establish without context, location, volatility, and subsequent confirmation.

ID 184

Act as a market-psychology analyst. Explain what a doji candle measures and what it cannot establish by itself. Distinguish indecision, a possible reversal, and ordinary noise using prior trend, key level, volatility, liquidity, and confirmation. Include false-signal examples, invalidation, and conditions for no trade.

Morning Star and Evening Star Patterns

Beginner

Defines morning- and evening-star patterns with testable rules and explains why visually similar three-candle sequences may not qualify.

ID 185

Act as a candlestick analyst. Define morning- and evening-star patterns using prior trend, relationships among all three candles, gaps where relevant to the market, close location, volume or liquidity, confirmation, and invalidation. Compare possible entry timing and explain failed or ambiguous scenarios.

Inside Bars and Pin Bars: Continuation or Reversal?

Beginner

Explains how trend, range, level, volatility, and liquidity determine whether an inside bar or pin bar adds useful information.

ID 186

Act as a price-action educator. Define inside bars and pin bars objectively, explain how their meaning changes across trends, ranges, breakouts, and key levels, and specify entry, confirmation, stop, and invalidation. Include conditions in which the pattern should not be traded and a method for testing its incremental value.

Candlestick Pattern Validity Checklist

Medium

Filters forced candlestick interpretations through six checks for structure, location, context, confirmation, liquidity, and invalidation.

ID 187

Create a strict six-point checklist for deciding whether a candlestick pattern is well defined or merely price noise. Include objective shape, location, market context, confirmation, volume or liquidity, and clear invalidation. Allow an indeterminate outcome when data or confirmation is missing rather than forcing yes or no.

Confirm or Anticipate a Candlestick Signal?

Medium

Makes the trade-off among earlier price, false-signal risk, stop distance, liquidity, and missed-entry risk explicit.

ID 188

Create a rule-based framework for deciding when an anticipatory candlestick entry may be justified and when confirmation is required. Compare entry price, false-signal risk, distance to invalidation, liquidity, gaps, and likelihood of no fill. Include an explicit no-trade option and explain how the rule can be tested.

Failed Candlestick Patterns as a Possible Signal

Medium

Explains how confirmed failure may reveal trapped positioning without treating every failure as a high-probability opposite trade.

ID 189

Act as a price-action analyst. Define evidence that confirms a candlestick pattern has failed, the required context and liquidity, entry timing, and invalidation. Explain when failure may support an opposite trade thesis, when it offers no usable information, and how the hypothesis should be validated without hindsight.

Candlestick Patterns That Require Extra Caution

Pro

Identifies candles and contexts that are often interpreted with excessive confidence and states the missing evidence needed before a trade is considered.

ID 190

List candlestick patterns and situations that require extra caution because of weak context, low liquidity, unsuitable timeframe, subjective definition, late entry, or lack of confirmation. For each, explain the failure mode and the minimum confirmation and invalidation needed before the idea could be reconsidered.

How to use AI prompts to analyze candlestick patterns

Candlestick names are descriptive labels, not standalone forecasts. A useful prompt defines the candle precisely and evaluates it within trend, volatility, liquidity, and nearby price structure.

Specify body and wick relationships, gap rules, timeframe, prior trend, support or resistance, and required confirmation.
Define invalidation, entry timing, stop logic, and alternative explanations such as illiquidity or an event-driven spike.
Measure pattern frequency and net results across regimes before assuming that a recognizable candle has predictive value.
