After building the pattern, traders can name it. When satisfied, select Save, then OK. Just as any existing candlestick pattern works, an icon is placed above or below the final candle in the pattern to display which candle makes the pattern complete. This icon is chosen with the drop-down list at the top of the Candlestick Pattern Editor.
The pattern is also transferred to the thinkScript Editor on the adjacent tab. Just like all the existing thinkorswim patterns, this editor allows traders to copy the source code and use it when running a scan, setting an alert, or employing many of the platform's other trigger functions.
