Service Cost

The indicator currently costs $50 to purchase outright, you are also able to rent it on a monthly basis and will cost you $10 per month to do that. There is a free demo version available, however, we are not sure what the limitations to this demo account are, but would always suggest downloading and testing it out.

Conclusion

There is just one review available for this indicator, it is a 3/5 star review.

“Would have been a good idea to have provided a visual indication as to whether the recognized candlestick pattern is by convention indicating indecision, bullish/bearish trend reversal or continuation trend in the market. Very good app for associating the name with the visual appearance of the candlestick patterns provided for by the app.”

As there aren’t too many reviews available, we would recommend checking out and using the free demo version just to make sure it has the functions that you need and that you are able to successfully set up the indicator to work as intended.
