Patterns

It is possible to make candles pattern recognition through the CandleHelper class by the following methods:

IsWhiteOrBlack(Candle) - Is it white or black candle.
IsMarubozu(Candle) - Is it a shadowless candle.
IsSpinningTop(Candle) - Is it a neutral candle by trades.
IsHammer(Candle) - Is it a hammer candle.
IsDragonflyOrGravestone(Candle) - Is it a dragonfly or gravestone candle.
IsBullishOrBearish(Candle) - Is it a bull or bear candle.

Common methods of work with candles

CandleHelper also provides a variety of algorithms for candles to simplify writing of code:

The candle time range getting through the GetCandleBounds method. For example, you want to find out exactly when the current 10.5-minute candle ends:
C#
Copy
```
var candleTimeFrame = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10.5);

Console.WriteLine(candleTimeFrame.GetCandleBounds(DateTime.Now).Max);
```

To get the candle length, its body, its shadows through GetLength(Candle), GetBody(Candle), GetTopShadow(Candle) and GetBottomShadow(Candle):

Copy

// sample candle
var candle = ...

Console.WriteLine(candle.GetCandleLength());
Console.WriteLine(candle.GetCandleBody());
Console.WriteLine(candle.GetCandleTopShadow());
Console.WriteLine(candle.GetCandleBottomShadow());
