A Candlestick Pattern Scanner for the Whole US Market
36 candlestick patterns, checked on every US stock after the close — with the trend gate applied and the candle drawn on the chart.
Candlestick patterns are easy to learn and tedious to find: you have to page through hundreds of charts to catch the few engulfing candles, hammers or morning stars that formed today. StockSetups checks the last daily bar of ~12,300 US stocks and ETFs for 36 patterns after every US close and lists every match on the Daily Candlesticks board.
It applies the rule most screeners skip: a bullish reversal is only flagged after a decline and a bearish one only after an advance (continuations, the other way round), so a hammer in the middle of a rally doesn't clutter the list. And because a candle is a clue rather than a trade, every match comes with the chart, the trend context and the full dossier — and we publish how each pattern has actually played out.
36 patterns, every night
Bullish, bearish and indecision candles — engulfing, hammer, inverted hammer, harami, piercing line, morning/evening star, three white soldiers, kicker, belt hold, marubozu, tweezers, doji family and more — on the last daily bar of every US stock and ETF.
Trend-checked, not just shape-matched
Reversal candles only fire against the prior trend and continuation patterns only with it, so the same long-shadow bar is labeled a hammer after a decline and a hanging man after an advance.
Drawn on the chart, with context
Each match opens on its chart with every bar of the pattern outlined, plus 30+ indicators, relative strength, fundamentals and how that candle's earlier signals on the same stock played out.
Confirmation for chart patterns
On the main board, candles confirm chart-pattern setups as bullish, bearish or neutral — a breakout with a bullish engulfing at the level reads differently from one without.
Intraday candles too (Pro)
The real-time engine fires multi-timeframe candlestick alerts during the session, and custom alert rules can trigger on candle conditions.
Free to start
The free plan shows the strongest example of each candle type every night with the full dossier; Pro lists every match and unlocks real-time alerts. $29/mo after a 14-day free trial.
Measured, not promised
We track how every candle the scanner posts actually played out — how often price moved its way 1 week and 1 month later, versus an ordinary day for the same stocks. Most edges are small, which is exactly why the context matters.

Frequently asked
What is a candlestick pattern scanner?
A tool that checks many stocks at once for candlestick formations — engulfing candles, hammers, stars, dojis — so you don't have to page through charts. StockSetups checks ~12,300 US stocks and ETFs for 36 patterns after every close.
Which candlestick patterns does it detect?
36: morning star, three white soldiers, bullish engulfing, piercing line, hammer, inverted hammer, bullish harami, bullish marubozu, three inside/outside up, tweezer bottom, bullish kicker, dragonfly doji, rising three methods, mat hold and bullish belt hold; their bearish mirrors (evening star, three black crows, bearish engulfing, dark cloud cover, hanging man, shooting star and more); and the indecision candles — doji, long-legged doji, spinning top, inside bar and outside bar.
Is the candlestick scanner free?
The free plan shows one example of each candle type every night with the full chart and dossier, plus the free end-of-day scanner. Pro ($29/mo, 14-day free trial) lists every match, adds real-time intraday candlestick alerts and the email digest.
Do candlestick patterns work on their own?
Rarely by much. Our own measurements show most candles move price their way only a few percentage points more often than an ordinary day — see /candlestick-patterns. They work best as confirmation at a meaningful level, which is how the scanner uses them.
