Candlestick Patterns
Marubozu
Introduction
Create a new Marubozu candlestick pattern indicator to indicate the pattern's presence.
To view the implementation of this candlestick pattern, see the LEAN GitHub repository.
Using Marubozu Indicator
To create an automatic indicators for Marubozu
, call the Marubozu
helper method from the QCAlgorithm
class. The Marubozu
method creates a Marubozu
object, hooks it up for automatic updates, and returns it so you can used it in your algorithm. In most cases, you should call the helper method in the Initialize
method.
public class MarubozuAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; private Marubozu _marubozu; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; _marubozu = CandlestickPatterns.Marubozu(_symbol); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { if (_marubozu.IsReady) { // The current value of _marubozu is represented by itself (_marubozu) // or _marubozu.Current.Value Plot("Marubozu", "marubozu", _marubozu); } } }
class MarubozuAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self) -> None: self.symbol = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol self.marubozu = self.CandlestickPatterns.Marubozu(self.symbol) def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None: if self.marubozu.IsReady: # The current value of self.marubozu is represented by self.marubozu.Current.Value self.Plot("Marubozu", "marubozu", self.marubozu.Current.Value)
The following reference table describes the Marubozu
method:
Marubozu()1/1
Marubozu QuantConnect.Algorithm.CandlestickPatterns.Marubozu (Symbol
symbol,*Nullable<Resolution>
resolution,*Func<IBaseData, TradeBar>
selector )
Creates a new Marubozu
pattern indicator. The indicator will be automatically updated on the given resolution.
If you don't provide a resolution, it defaults to the security resolution. If you provide a resolution, it must be greater than or equal to the resolution of the security. For instance, if you subscribe to hourly data for a security, you should update its indicator with data that spans 1 hour or longer.
For more information about the selector argument, see Alternative Price Fields.
For more information about plotting indicators, see Plotting Indicators.
You can manually create a Marubozu
indicator, so it doesn't automatically update. Manual indicators let you update their values with any data you choose.
Updating your indicator manually enables you to control when the indicator is updated and what data you use to update it. To manually update the indicator, call the Update
method with a TradeBar
. The indicator will only be ready after you prime it with enough data.
public class MarubozuAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; private Marubozu _marubozu; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; _marubozu = new Marubozu(); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { if (data.Bars.TryGeValue(_symbol, out var bar)) { _marubozu.Update(bar); } if (_marubozu.IsReady) { // The current value of _marubozu is represented by itself (_marubozu) // or _marubozu.Current.Value Plot("Marubozu", "marubozu", _marubozu); } } }
class MarubozuAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self) -> None: self.symbol = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol self.marubozu = Marubozu() def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None: bar = slice.Bars.get(self.symbol) if bar: self.marubozu.Update(bar) if self.marubozu.IsReady: # The current value of self.marubozu is represented by self.marubozu.Current.Value self.Plot("Marubozu", "marubozu", self.marubozu.Current.Value)
To register a manual indicator for automatic updates with the security data, call the RegisterIndicator
method.
public class MarubozuAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; private Marubozu _marubozu; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; _marubozu = new Marubozu(); RegisterIndicator(_symbol, _marubozu, Resolution.Daily); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { if (_marubozu.IsReady) { // The current value of _marubozu is represented by itself (_marubozu) // or _marubozu.Current.Value Plot("Marubozu", "marubozu", _marubozu); } } }
class MarubozuAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self) -> None: self.symbol = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol self.marubozu = Marubozu() self.RegisterIndicator(self.symbol, self.marubozu, Resolution.Daily) def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None: if self.marubozu.IsReady: # The current value of self.marubozu is represented by self.marubozu.Current.Value self.Plot("Marubozu", "marubozu", self.marubozu.Current.Value)
The following reference table describes the Marubozu

class using the specified name.
Marubozu()2/2
Marubozu QuantConnect.Indicators.CandlestickPatterns.Marubozu ( )
