Since my last currency strength candlestick chart post it seemed to make sense to be able to scan said charts for signals, so below is the code for two Octave functions which act as candlestick pattern scanners. The code is fully vectorised and self-contained, and on my machine they can scan more than 300,000 OHLC bars for 27/29 separate patterns in less than 0.5 seconds. Both functions have a self-explanatory help and within the body of the code there are ample comments which describe the patterns. Enjoy!

##
## The HIGH, LOW, CLOSE and OPEN should be vectors of equal length, and are required.
##
## Internally the DOWNTREND is determined as a bar's CLOSE being lower than the CLOSE
## of the bar 5 bars previously. This can be over-ruled by an optional, user supplied
## vector DOWNTREND of zeros and ones, where one(s) represent a bar in a DOWNTREND.
## If a DOWNTREND vector consists solely of ones, this effectively turns off the
## discriminative ability of the DOWNTREND condition as all bars will be considered
## to be DOWNTREND bars. If the DOWNTREND vector consists solely of zeros, no bar
## will be classified as being in a DOWNTREND and those candle patterns that require a
## DOWNTREND as a condition will not be indicated.
##
## The AVGE_HI_LO_RANGE is calculated as a rolling 5 bar simple moving average of
## the HI-LO range of bars. A bar is considered a "long line" if its HI-LO range
## is greater than the AVGE_HI_LO_RANGE. This can also be over-ruled, as above, by
## an optional, user supplied vector AVGE_HI_LO_RANGE, which consists of zeros and
## ones, with ones representing "long line" bars. An AVGE_HI_LO_RANGE vector of all
## ones or zeros will have a similar effect as described for the DOWNTREND vector.
