How can I find stocks with specific candlestick patterns?

 | 
Stocks forming candlestick patterns can be found on the Predefined Scans page. Over 10 candlestick patterns are scanned every day. The image below shows a snapshot of the candlestick scan page for January 21st. After the sharp decline on the 21st, notice that a number of bearish engulfing patterns formed within the Nasdaq (59) and the NYSE (102). Despite such weakness, there were even a few bullish engulfing patterns registered on the major exchanges. In addition to the NYSE and Nasdaq, users can also see scan retults for the Amex, Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) and Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX).

This list can be sorted by clicking on the headings (open, high, low, close, volume). This list is sorted by volume to show stocks with the highest volume at the top. The icons to the left of the stock symbol can be clicked to show the charts.
