|
| //| Free indicator: 13 classic candlestick patterns on one chart, |
|
| //| marked with an arrow and a short label on the closed bar that |
|
| //| completes them. Patterns that need a prior trend use close vs |
|
| //| EMA(20). Never repaints: closed bars only. Alerts. |
|
| //| Engine: Include/Candles/Cdl.mqh (the same as the scanner). |
