Automated
What Is Pattern Detection?
Pattern Detection finds candlestick trade setups for you. Super Greedy first checks for a valid trend. It then looks for enabled candlestick patterns to confirm the setup, sets your entry and stop-loss levels, and runs the full trade automatically.
Engulfing
Two candles where the second candle's body is bigger than the first.
Harami
Two candles where the second candle's body is smaller than the first.
Tweezer
Two candles where candle one close equals candle two open, with opposing biases.
Outside Bar
Two candles where the second candle's high is higher and low is lower than the first.
Inside Bar
Two candles where the second candle's high is lower and low is higher than the first.

Pattern Detection Questions
Quick answers about automated pattern trading with Super Greedy.
What is Super Greedy Pattern Detection?
Super Greedy Pattern Detection is automated futures trading software that finds reversal candle setups — Tweezer, Engulfing, Harami, Outside Bar, and Inside Bar — after a qualifying pullback. It detects the opportunity, places the order, sets stop loss and take profit levels, and manages the trade from entry through exit.
What is the difference between the pattern toggles?
Engulfing looks for a confirmation candle body that strictly wraps the prior bar body (C0 body strictly larger than C1). Tweezer looks for a handoff where the trigger close equals the confirmation open, with opposing candle biases. Harami looks for a smaller inside body contained within the prior mother bar (C0 body strictly smaller than C1). Outside Bar looks for a confirmation range that strictly wraps the prior bar (C0 high above C1 high and C0 low below C1 low). Inside Bar looks for a confirmation range strictly inside the prior bar (C0 high below C1 high and C0 low above C1 low). Engulfing is on by default; all other patterns are optional. When multiple toggles recognize the same bar pair, priority is Tweezer, then Engulfing, then Harami, then Outside Bar, then Inside Bar.
How does Super Greedy set entry and stop loss for pattern trades?
Entry is placed at the confirmation candle extreme — the high for long setups, the low for shorts. Stop loss sits at the closest prior three-bar swing on the opposite side, offset by one tick. If no valid swing exists, the setup is rejected.
What invalidates a detected pattern setup?
A latched pattern clears when a newer pattern supersedes it, when optional Stop Loss Cancels Order is enabled and live price breaches the stop, or when lifecycle conditions change — such as turning the bot off, switching contracts, or session settings that block the latched direction. Bias is evaluated only when a setup first becomes Detected; changing bias while a pattern is already latched does not clear it.
Which futures markets does pattern detection support?
Pattern Detection works on major US futures markets Super Greedy supports, including ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, and other index, metals, and energy contracts. It runs on single-chart, multi-timeframe, and multi-contract layouts.
Does Super Greedy manage risk automatically on pattern trades?
Yes. Super Greedy connects to TopstepX and Tradovate, places bracket orders with stop loss and take profit levels, manages open positions automatically, and can cancel or exit trades when a detected pattern is superseded or invalidated.
