IReadOnlyList<CandleResult> results =
  bars.ToDoji(maxPriceChangePercent);

Parameters ​

paramdescription
maxPriceChangePercent
double		Optional. Maximum absolute percent difference in open and close price. Example: 0.3% would be entered as 0.3 (not 0.003). Must be between 0 and 0.5 percent, if specified. Default is 0.1 (0.1%).

Historical price bars requirements ​

You must have at least one historical bar; however, more is typically provided since this is a chartable candlestick pattern.

bars is a collection of generic TBar historical price bars. It should have a consistent frequency (day, hour, minute, etc). See the Guide for more information.

Response ​

csharp
IReadOnlyList<CandleResult>
  • This method returns a time series of all available indicator values for the bars provided.
  • It always returns the same number of elements as there are in the historical price bars.
  • It does not return a single incremental indicator value.
  • The candlestick pattern is indicated on dates where Match is Match.Neutral.
  • Price is Close price; however, all OHLCV elements are included in CandleProperties.
  • There is no intrinsic basis or confirmation signal provided for this pattern.

CandleResult ​

DateTime		Date from evaluated TBar

decimal?		Price of the most relevant OHLC candle element when a signal is present
Match
Match		Indicates a matching signal type for this candlestick pattern

Match ​

When a candlestick pattern is recognized, it produces a matching signal. In some cases, an intrinsic confirmation is also available after the signal. In cases where previous bars were used to identify a pattern, they are indicated as the basis for the signal. This enum can also be referenced as an int value. Documentation for each candlestick pattern will indicate whether confirmation and/or basis information is produced.

enum / valuedescription
Match.BullConfirmed
200		Confirmation of a prior bull signal
Match.BullSignal
100		Bullish signal
Match.BullBasis
10		Bars supporting a bullish signal
Match.Neutral
1		Signal for non-directional patterns
Match.None
0		No match
Match.BearBasis
-10		Bars supporting a bearish signal
Match.BearSignal
-100		Bearish signal
Match.BearConfirmed
-200		Confirmation of a prior bear signal

Streaming ​

Use the buffer-style List<T> when you need incremental calculations without a hub:

csharp
DojiList dojiList = new(maxPriceChangePercent);

// call from your WebSocket or SSE message handler
void OnBarReceived(IBar bar) => dojiList.Add(bar);

// based on `ICollection<CandleResult>`; fills as the handler runs
IReadOnlyList<CandleResult> results = dojiList;

Subscribe to a BarHub for advanced streaming scenarios:

csharp
BarHub barHub = new();
DojiHub observer = barHub.ToDojiHub(maxPriceChangePercent);

// call from your WebSocket or SSE message handler
void OnBarReceived(IBar bar) => barHub.Add(bar);

// results fill as the handler runs
IReadOnlyList<CandleResult> results = observer.Results;

See Buffer lists and Stream hubs for full usage guides.
