This cBot is an example, made for demonstration purposes using AlgoBuilderX and works only on demo accounts.
Strategy: This example illustrates the potential of AlgoBuilderX in creating custom candlestick patterns for trading automation. With the recent platform upgrade and the introduction of the new 'Candle pattern' block, users can now take advantage of a wide range of predefined candle patterns or create their own custom patterns.
Users can use well-known patterns such as engulfing, harami, marubozu, 'three with soldier,' 'three black crow,' 'shooting star,' and others. They also have the ability to create fully customized patterns by changing parameters such as the size of the candle body, the length of the upper and lower shadows, the total number of candles involved in the pattern, and so on.
The proposed example is intuitive and understandable: to trigger a buy signal, the cBot requires the presence of two customizable bullish candles in the pattern. Conversely, to trigger a sell signal, two bearish candles customizable in the pattern are required.
Candle ID1 represents the candle just closed, preceding the candle being formed.
Candle ID 2 is the candle prior to candle ID 1, thus the second closed candle.

Important Note:
This cBot is a demonstration example created with AlgoBuilderX and is not optimized for live use. It is designed to illustrate the functionality of AlgoBuilderX and serve as a starting point for creating custom strategies. It is recommended that you carefully test and optimize any strategy before implementing it on a real trading account.
Summary
The example strategy triggers buy signals when two customizable bullish candles appear in the pattern and sell signals when two bearish candles are detected. Candle ID1 refers to the most recently closed candle before the current one, and Candle ID2 is the candle closed before Candle ID1.
This cBot operates on demo accounts only and serves to illustrate AlgoBuilderX’s capabilities. It provides a starting point for users to develop, test, and deploy their own cBots with ease. Users are advised to thoroughly test and optimize any strategy before applying it to live trading.
