OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Tweezer Scanner v1
Some code for detecting tweezer candles, which are reversal patterns. You'll need to tweak the settings to be either less strict (more detections) or more strict (less detections). I found that if you follow the documentation for tweezers exactly, you will get very few detections. It is possible that this candlestick has become overused, so the original pattern itself has been lost to the noise of the market.
Settings:
1. Tweezer Max Body Height (Pips) - How tall can the body of the tweezer be, in pips (increase this pips to increase detections)
2. Tweezer Body Similarity (>%) - How similar should the body heights be, higher percentage is more similar (reduce this % to increase detections)
3. Tweezer Tail Similarity (>%) - How similar should the tail heights be, higher percentage is more similar (reduce this % to increase detections)
4. Tweezer Tail Proportion (<%) - How short should the opposite tail heights be, lower percentage is shorter and more similar to the documentation (increase this % to increase detections)
