Daily Patterns & Daily Candlesticks

The nightly read, on two pages. Daily Patterns sorts every long chart-pattern setup into one of four lanes by where it sits in a breakout's life-cycle — Setting up → Breaking out → Broke out → Retesting breakout. Daily Candlesticks lists the day's candlestick signals, split Bullish / Bearish. Click any card to load its chart and fundamentals in the detail panel on the right.

The lanes

Setting up

Pattern intact, price within 3% of resistance.

Breaking out

Closed above resistance today on confirming volume.

Broke out

Confirmed breakout, still holding the level.

Retesting breakout

Pulled back to retest old resistance as support.

Live breakout (Pro)

A setup whose 1-minute close crossed its breakout line during the session, stamped with the minute, with the line and price vs the line now. It empties when the next scan publishes.

On watch

A cross in premarket or after hours that the regular session hasn't confirmed yet.

Live breakout bell (Pro)

Alerts on every new cross: bell and popup, an optional email (one per batch of crosses), optional premarket / after-hours watches, and a beep or spoken-ticker sound. Push follows Settings → Notifications.

Risk-off note

Shown when the market regime is risk-off, with breadth %. Breakouts fail more often in a weak tape; the link opens Market timing.

Sort chip

Rank · R:R · % to entry · Day % · $Vol (candles: Rank · Day % · $Vol). It reorders within each lane, after the free top-3 cut.

Controls

Asset class chip (Pro)

All · Stocks · ETFs. Narrows the board by asset class; your choice is remembered. The free board always shows every class.

Show only one pattern family (Triangles, Channels, Wedges, Bases or Momentum) or All.

Type filter (Daily Candlesticks)

Each lane's header has its own checklist of the candlestick types on it (hammer, engulfing, …), with counts — untick a type to hide it from that lane.

One-click price alert at the card's breakout level (3 active on Free, unlimited on Pro). The trade plan under the chart offers the same for the stop and the target.

＋ Add stats

Append per-symbol stats (RSI, volume, RVol, …) as a compact strip on each card.

Arrow keys

The detail panel

Trade plan (Daily Patterns)

Entry, stop, target and reward:risk for the setup, with one-click alerts at each level.

Historical edge

How past signals like this one did 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 month later — the average return, how often they worked, and the sample size. On Daily Patterns it covers the pattern and the lane; on Daily Candlesticks, every candle of that type over the last 150 days (a bearish candle counts as working when price falls). A base rate, not a forecast.

Candle signal (Daily Candlesticks)

What the candle is, what it says and the day it fired. A candle carries no trade plan — treat it as a cue and wait for the next session to confirm it.

Recent candles

The symbol's last 5 candlestick signals and the 1-week move after each (✓ went the candle's way, ✗ didn't) — so you can see what has been working on this name lately.

On the chart

Candle callout (Daily Candlesticks)

The current candle is boxed and labelled with its pattern and an arrow — from above for a bullish candle, from below for a bearish one.

Past candles

Opt-in under Show: also boxes the symbol's last 5 earlier candlestick signals, each with ✓ if the week after went the candle's way and ✗ if it didn't.

Past breakouts

Opt-in under Show: the last few 50-day-high breakouts on the name, each labelled with its return 1 week (1W) and 1 month (1M) after the breakout close — whether the breakout kept working.

Reading the colors

Lane color tells you the status of a chart-pattern setup. Candle chips are different — they show a bullish / bearish / neutral bias and are confirmations, not lanes, so they never carry a lane color. Conviction scores and A+/A/B/C/D grades summarize how clean each setup is.
