Candlestick Patterns

Is there a way to view and/or modify Candlestick Patterns criteria? I am not seeing what I expect to see and I would like to see the definitions of the patterns in order to understand them. It would be great if I was able to modify the parameters so that the chosen pattern would match my expected criteria. Thanks

If you are referring to the "Candlestick Patterns Finder" study, then refer to the following:
CandleStick Patterns Finder

Admittedly, there is not specific information for each particular pattern, but if you do an Internet search for a particular pattern, you should find the general infomration on how it is calculated.

The source code for the "Candlestick Patterns Finder" is in the "Studies4.cpp" file located in the "ACS_Source" folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder. The function calls to each of the actual patterns is within the same file, so you can get the actual calculations from the source code, if you are adept at reading code.

You can also modify the code to your needs. Refer to the following:
