What Is Pattern Detection?
Pattern Detection is built for traders who want reversal setups at the end of a pullback. Super Greedy requires a qualifying trend leg — lower highs and lows before a long, higher highs and lows before a short — then looks for Tweezer, Engulfing, or Harami confirmation, prepares entry and risk levels, and runs the full trade for you.
Engulfing
The default mode. A bearish trigger bar fully engulfed by a bullish confirmation bar — or the inverse for shorts. Entry sits at the confirmation candle extreme.
Tweezer
Optional two-bar reversal with matching open and close at the handoff. Turn it on when you want a precise equality-based reversal filter.
Harami
Optional inside-bar reversal — a smaller confirmation candle contained within the prior mother bar (C0 body strictly smaller than C1). Engulfing inverse on body containment.

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, and Harami — 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 Engulfing, Tweezer, and Harami?
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 bar contained within the prior mother bar (C0 body strictly smaller than C1). Engulfing is on by default; Tweezer and Harami are optional. When multiple toggles recognize the same bar pair, priority is Tweezer, then Engulfing, then Harami.
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 or bias settings that block the latched direction.
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.
