When you call pattern recognition indicators (e.g., Doji), the response is a numerical value representing the likelihood of that pattern being present in a given candle.
Responses:
100: The pattern is found at this candle.
0: The pattern is NOT found at this candle.
-100: bearish variation of the pattern is found at this candle (note: not all patterns have bearish variations).
80 (or any other value): The pattern is found, but with partial accuracy (e.g., 80% match to the perfect form).
Best practices:
For effective use of pattern recognition indicators, it’s recommended to scan multiple past candles using the results parameter. This allows you to identify where the pattern has appeared in a given timeframe.
Example query
The following example demonstrates how to search for a Doji pattern across the last 20 hourly candles using the results=20 parameter:

Response example
This will return a response like clearly showing when did the doji pattern appear:
Tip: Use the addResultTimestamp=true parameter to include a timestamp with each result, making it easy to identify when the pattern occurred.
