Hammer

Hammers take the point when, there is long downtrend and generally, it is a bullish reversal candle but must confirmed with next candlestick pattern.
Yes. The hammer provides the signal to create the swing point. And the role of the hammer in reversal is a lot.
So, I guess that it's a very universal pattern which should be learnt by novices.

Higher timeframe candle 1 Week , 1 Day , 4 HR candle will give u better results ( @ areas of VALUE )
Not all the patterns show u the right pic of market especially in unstabled periods like now. Just always think on the logic of using it. But graphically it really often can be an early sign of reverse.
The Hammer is indeed a powerful reversal pattern, but context is everything. I've found it most reliable when it appears at key support levels, especially after an extended downtrend, and is confirmed by the next candle closing above the hammer's body.
From an algorithmic perspective, combining the Hammer with other filters like RSI oversold conditions or volume spikes significantly improves the win rate. As a cBot developer, I've tested various candlestick patterns extensively, and the Hammer works best when you don't trade it in isolation but as part of a broader confluence strategy.
What filters do you guys use to confirm Hammer entries?
