The
Doji Pattern Detector EA
is designed to automatically detect the classic
Doji candlestick pattern
on any chart. A Doji pattern occurs when the open and close prices of a candle are very close to each other, signaling market indecision. This EA identifies Doji candles where the open and close prices are within a small range and positioned near the midpoint of the candle's high and low.
Key Features:

The EA checks if the difference between the open and close prices is less than
3 points
.
It also verifies that the open and close are near the midpoint of the candle’s range (with a 10% tolerance).
Chart Marking

When a Doji is detected, a
red arrow
is drawn 5 points below the candle’s low.
A label with the text
"Doji"
is placed 3 points below the arrow for easy identification.
