CDL2CROWS

Summary

Three-candle bearish reversal pattern: a long white candle, then a black candle gapping up, then a black candle that opens inside the second body and closes down inside the first white body. A hit (-100) signals a bearish reversal; significant in an uptrend, which this function does not verify.

Notes

Does not verify the prior uptrend the pattern classically assumes for significance.
