From what I gather, using Vectorize method (very time efficient) for charting Bullish/Bearish candles and using shift method scanning method you can pretty much scan any pattern of your choice, rows or columns. This particular code looks very compact and efficient.

In Line 6 (timestamp 2:22) why are the "open" & "close" not the same value from one line to the next? The close from one candle should be exactly the same to the next candle open I believe

Each trading pair should have its own deviation, this will increase the chances of winning ))

Hello,
How to backtest in Metatrader5 with Python?

[vikrant]

at the line:
df['candle_type'] = np.vectorize(specify_candle_type(df['open'], df['close']))
&
if close_price > open_price:

I got this ValueError:
The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all()"

can you help me on this?
