Similar Patterns

Similar Patterns compares the last candles of the active pair with your imported history and shows what happened after similar shapes.

It needs at least 300 candles of one timeframe (M15, M30, H1, H4 or D1). Greyed-out timeframes don't have enough yet — import them in Market Data.

Search settings

• Window — how many recent candles make up the current pattern: 20, 30 or 50.
• Look ahead — how many candles after each match are measured: 6, 12 or 24.
• Min. similarity — 70% to 90%.
• History — All, Last year or Last 6 months.
• Search from — the window ends at this candle. Pick a past time to test how the search would have read it, or Use latest candle.

Shape matching combines the normalized close-price path with candle bodies and upper/lower wicks, measured relative to the window’s average range. Recent candles carry slightly more weight in the body/wick comparison. Trend slope and volatility also contribute. Similarity is a heuristic score, not the probability of a profitable trade. A historical match and its measured outcome must finish before the current window starts.

Results

• Matches found — how many past windows reached your minimum similarity.
• Continued / Reversed / Sideways — a move of 0.5 ATR or more in the window's direction counts as continued; against it, reversed.
• Avg. move after — over the look-ahead candles, in ATR (the average candle range of 14 candles at the match), so different years and pairs compare fairly.
• What happened next and Top matches — open a match to see Now and Then side by side, the move after it, the best point reached, the max drawdown, Why it matches (shape, trend slope, volatility, session) and your journal that day.

Explain with AI writes a neutral, plain-language summary from the search statistics only — no screenshots are sent. It describes how past windows turned out; it doesn't call a direction.

These are statistics of past windows in your own data, not a forecast or a recommendation — past patterns do not predict future results.
