Candlestick Patterns With EMA and Stochastic
6/11/15, Corrected barcolor errors.
Candlestick patterns identified and color coded according to position above or below 8EMA(TLine).
Special thanks to repo32, DavidR, and Chris Moody for coding ideas.
Bullish candlestick buy signals have a greater probability of success when Stochastics are oversold. Bearish ones have a
greater probability of success when overbought. Stack as many factors in your favor as possible. A candlestick signal by itself is of little value unless you apply additional information with it. An 8 EMA is coded also to help with buy/sell signals. Some of the videos by Steven Bigalow are on the Web to see how he uses it.

Regardless of systems and strategies used, make your second trade first: Know when you're going to exit. Risk management rules. Good luck and good trading.
