CHARTAISCAN 
AI that reads candlesticks like a seasoned trader.
Candlestick patterns are one of the oldest and most reliable forms of technical analysis — but spotting them manually across dozens of charts is tedious and error-prone. ChartAIScan's AI scans every candlestick on your chart, identifying single-candle patterns (doji, hammer, shooting star, spinning top, marubozu), two-candle patterns (engulfing, harami, piercing, dark cloud cover), and three-candle formations (morning star, evening star, three white soldiers, three black crows). No pattern goes undetected.
Context-aware candlestick scanning — not just pattern matching.
A hammer at the bottom of a downtrend means something very different from a hammer in the middle of a sideways range. ChartAIScan's AI doesn't just match candle shapes — it evaluates each pattern in the context of the surrounding trend, nearby support and resistance, and preceding price action. The result is candlestick analysis that reflects how patterns actually work in real trading, not just textbook definitions.
From single candles to complex multi-candle formations.
The AI detects the full spectrum of candlestick patterns. Single-candle patterns: doji (standard, long-legged, gravestone, dragonfly), hammer, hanging man, shooting star, inverted hammer, spinning top, marubozu. Two-candle patterns: bullish/bearish engulfing, harami, piercing line, dark cloud cover, tweezer tops and bottoms. Three-candle patterns: morning star, evening star, three white soldiers, three black crows, abandoned baby, and more. Every detection is annotated on your chart with entry and stop levels.
Candlestick scanning across every timeframe.
Candlestick patterns carry different weight at different timeframes. A doji on a daily chart signals indecision that could resolve into a significant move; a doji on a 1-minute chart is noise. ChartAIScan's AI adapts its confidence scoring by timeframe — patterns on higher timeframes (daily, weekly, 4-hour) receive higher reliability scores, while intraday patterns are flagged with appropriate context about their typical reliability.
Common questions answered.
How many candlestick patterns can the AI detect?
ChartAIScan's AI detects over 30 candlestick patterns spanning single-candle, two-candle, and three-candle formations. This includes all major reversal and continuation patterns — doji variations, hammers, engulfing patterns, harami, morning/evening stars, soldiers/crows, and more niche formations like abandoned baby and tweezer patterns.
Is AI candlestick scanning more accurate than manual?
AI candlestick scanning is more consistent than manual scanning — it never gets tired, never overlooks a pattern, and evaluates every candle against objective criteria. Human traders can miss patterns, especially on cluttered charts or during long scanning sessions. The AI provides a reliable second set of eyes on every chart.
Does the scanner work with Heikin-Ashi candles?
ChartAIScan's AI is optimised for standard Japanese candlestick charts, which are the foundation of candlestick pattern analysis. Heikin-Ashi charts use modified candle calculations that can alter or obscure traditional patterns. For best results, use standard candlestick charts. The AI can still process Heikin-Ashi charts but pattern detection accuracy may vary.
Can the AI detect candlestick patterns in real time?
Yes. ChartAIScan processes uploaded charts in seconds, making it suitable for near-real-time candlestick pattern scanning during live market sessions. Screenshot a chart, upload it, and the AI identifies all candlestick patterns within seconds.
Is the candlestick pattern scanner free?
Yes. ChartAIScan's free tier includes full AI candlestick pattern scanning with all 30+ patterns detected. No credit card required. Premium plans unlock higher daily scan limits for traders who scan many charts per session.
