None of those can be calculated for current bar - since either the right side data of pattern recognition is missing or, as long as the current bar can be changed, like in case of a pinbar, you would get a load of false signals
Also, see these examples :


How many "pinbars" by definition were omitted at the example and why? Ie: you can not do even pinabrs without the knowledge of the "future" bars
