The Patterns section in the Scanner module settings allows users to specify which market patterns the scanner will search for during its analysis. This feature is essential for tailoring the scanner's operation to the specific needs and strategies of the trader.

Available Patterns

The Scanner module supports a variety of patterns, categorized into two main types:

1. Chart Patterns
   
   
2. Candlestick Patterns

Selecting Patterns

Users can choose patterns individually by checking the boxes next to each pattern name, or they can use the toolbar icons to manage pattern selection more efficiently:

• Select All Patterns: This option selects all available patterns in both Chart and Candlestick categories.
  
  
• Select Patterns in Selected Folder: This option selects only the patterns within the currently selected folder (either Chart Patterns or Candlestick Patterns).
  
  
• Deselect All Patterns: This option clears all selected patterns, allowing users to start a new selection from scratch.
