The Hammer Pattern Detector is a specialized technical analysis tool designed to identify high-probability hammer candlestick patterns. This indicator uses precise mathematical calculations to detect hammer patterns that meet specific criteria, helping traders identify potential market reversals.
#### Key Features - Precise detection of hammer patterns based on shadow-to-body ratios - Customizable parameters for fine-tuning pattern recognition - Visual alerts with markers above qualifying candles - Built-in alert functionality for real-time notifications
#### Parameters 1. **Shadow Length Multiplier (min)**: Controls how many times longer the lower shadow must be compared to the candle body (default: 2.0) 2. **Maximum Upper Shadow (%)**: Sets the maximum allowed length for the upper shadow as a percentage of total candle length (default: 10%) 3. **Minimum Body to High Distance (%)**: Defines how close the body must be to the high of the candle (default: 90%)
#### Detection Criteria The indicator identifies hammer patterns based on three main conditions: - Lower shadow must be at least twice the length of the body (adjustable) - Upper shadow must be minimal (max 10% of total candle length by default) - Candle body must be positioned near the high of the candle
#### Use Cases - Identifying potential trend reversals - Finding entry points in oversold conditions - Confirming support levels - Part of a broader reversal strategy
#### Tips for Best Results - Use in conjunction with support/resistance levels - Combine with volume analysis for confirmation - Consider overall market context and trend - Adjust parameters based on your trading timeframe
