Overview​

The CDL Generic worker is an indicator designed for financial markets. It runs generic candlestick patterns using the 'pattern' parameter.

What does this worker do?​

The CDL Generic worker takes in a set of price data (open, high, low, close) and a specified pattern. It then applies the corresponding candlestick pattern recognition function from TA-Lib to the provided data.

How to interpret the results​
