Candlestick patterns are shapes made by one to three daily candles that traders read as signs of a possible turn. The Candlestick Patterns scanner checks every U.S. and Canadian stock after the close for 12 of them: engulfing, piercing, harami, hammer, hanging man, morning star, evening star, shooting star, counter-attack, tweezer bottom, one green soldier and dark cloud cover.
Each pattern is marked bullish or bearish, and the scanner follows what the stock did next, so you can see how often a pattern actually played out.

Engulfing (bullish and bearish), piercing, harami (bullish and bearish), hammer, hanging man, morning star, evening star, shooting star, counter-attack, tweezer bottom, one green soldier and dark cloud cover.
A green candle whose body covers the whole body of the previous red candle. It shows buyers taking over from sellers, often after a decline.
Sometimes. That's why the scanner records how each pattern played out afterwards. On its own, a pattern is one clue among others, such as the trend, the volume and the news.
Every trading day, overnight after the close.
