Multi Doji Detector v1 [JopAlgo]

Multi Doji Detector v1 [JopAlgo] — fast pattern pings with real filters

What it does (one line):
Marks reversal/indecision candles (Doji family) and impulse candles (Engulfing, Hammer/Inverted Hammer), with optional ATR and volume filters so you don’t chase every wiggle.

Why it’s useful:
Candles tell you when the auction pauses or flips. This tool spots those moments, but only matters at a level. Use it to time entries at Volume Profile edges and AVWAP—not as a standalone signal.

What you’ll see on the chart

Doji family

Standard Doji (▲ blue above bar)

Dragonfly Doji (● green below bar)

Gravestone Doji (● red above bar)

Long-Legged Doji (▲ orange above bar)

Engulfing

Bullish Engulfing (⬆ teal below bar)

Bearish Engulfing (⬇ purple above bar)

Hammer set

Hammer (⬆ lime below bar)

Inverted Hammer (⬆ fuchsia below bar)

Shapes = heads-up. Your trade still needs location, flow, and a risk plan.

How to use it (the simple playbook)

Location first

Work at Volume Profile v3.2 levels (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) or Anchored VWAP.

No level, no trade.

Flow check (optional but strong)

Use CVDv1: take signals only when Alignment = OK and Absorption ≠ red against your idea.

Pattern = timing

At support (VAL/AVWAP): Bullish Engulfing or Hammer, or a Dragonfly/Standard Doji that gets follow-through up.

At resistance (VAH/AVWAP): Bearish Engulfing, Inverted Hammer, or Gravestone/Standard Doji with follow-through down.

Confirm the bar

Let the signal close. If the next bar rejects the idea, stand down.

Timeframe guidance

1–5m (scalps): Many marks. Keep ATR/volume filters ON. Only take signals at VA edges / Session AVWAP.

15m–1H (intraday): Cleanest. Best combo of signal quality and frequency.

2H–4H (swing): Fewer, stronger signals. Ideal for AVWAP/Composite VP reclaims.

1D+ (position): Use as a heads-up at weekly levels; wait for intraday confirmation to enter.

Entries, exits, risk (quick rules)

Entry:

Long: Bullish Engulfing / Hammer / bullish Doji at support, next bar holds above signal’s high or prints follow-through.

Short: Bearish Engulfing / Inverted Hammer / bearish Doji at resistance, next bar holds below signal’s low or follows through.

Stop:

Longs: below signal low or structure under the level.

Shorts: above signal high or structure over the level.

Targets:

Aim for POC/HVNs or obvious swings. Don’t use the symbol alone as a target.

Pass:

Signals mid-range (no level), or against CVDv1 (Absorption), or when ATR is tiny (fake pokes).

Settings that actually matter

Doji mode

Use Percentage-Based: compares body to full candle range (default 5%).

Off = fixed definition (body < 10% of range).

Tip: If you get too many dojis, lower the %; if too few, raise it slightly.

Engulfing filters

ATR Length (default 14) + Min Size (ATR): require real body expansion.

Volume confirmation: ON = demand above-average volume; reduces noise.

Hammer filters

Wick-to-Body Ratio: default 2.5×; increase for stricter hammers.

ATR Filter: minimum candle size; blocks tiny “toy” candles.

Volume confirmation: ON = better reliability.

Alerts

Toggle Doji Alerts on if you want all doji pings; engulfing/hammer alerts are always available.

Pattern cheatsheet (what they mean at a level)

Standard Doji: indecision → wait for directional close next bar.

Dragonfly (at support): buyers rejected lows → look for long on follow-through.

Gravestone (at resistance): sellers rejected highs → look for short on follow-through.

Long-Legged Doji: big fight → only trade it at a level and with the next bar confirming.

Bullish Engulfing: fresh control shift to buyers; best after a drive into support.

Bearish Engulfing: fresh control shift to sellers; best after a pop into resistance.

Hammer: capitulation then rescue; strongest when the low sweeps a level and closes back above.

Inverted Hammer: rejection from above; needs downside follow-through to matter.

Best combos (kept simple)

Volume Profile v3.2 [JopAlgo]: Signals at VAH/VAL/LVNs. Use POC/HVNs for targets.

Anchored VWAP [JopAlgo]: Reclaims/rejections get much better with a matching candle signal.

CVDv1 [JopAlgo]: Take signals with flow (ALIGN OK, no Absorption). If Absorption flashes red against your signal, skip it.

Common mistakes this prevents

Taking a “pretty” candle in the middle of nowhere.

Shorting every Gravestone in a real uptrend (ATR expanding, CVD strong).

Ignoring size: Engulfing/Hammer without ATR/volume often fail.

Entering before close: half of false signals vanish by the close.

Practical defaults to start

Doji: Percentage-based ON, 5%

Engulfing: Min size 1.0 ATR, Volume confirm ON

Hammer: Wick/Body 2.5×, ATR filter 0.5, Volume confirm ON

Timeframes: 15m–1H for most assets; 2H–4H for swing

Educational tool, not financial advice. Patterns are timers, not trades by themselves. Always pair with location, flow, and risk.
