LT_Ind_Candles is a technical indicator designed to detect and annotate common candlestick patterns on trading charts. It identifies single-candle patterns such as Doji, Hammer, and Shooting Star; two-candle patterns including Engulf, DarkCloud, Piercing, and Harami; and three-candle patterns like Morning Stars and Evening Stars. Additionally, it can highlight Marubozu candles based on configurable size criteria using ATR or bar body measurements.

The indicator offers customizable settings to adjust pattern detection sensitivity, including maximum Doji size ratio, Marubozu factor, and options to use bar range or body for calculations. Users can specify which patterns to detect by listing them in the settings. A risk control feature plots Fibonacci retracement levels when two consecutive candles form higher highs and higher lows (or lower highs and lower lows), aiding in entry and exit decisions. These Fibonacci levels and minimum price change thresholds are configurable.

LT_Ind_Candles supports multiple markets such as Forex, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and stocks. It is tested on the cTrader Windows platform. Candle annotations are color-customizable for clarity. This tool assists traders in visually recognizing key candlestick formations and managing risk through Fibonacci retracement guidance.
