CDL3STARSINSOUTH
Summary
A three-candle bullish reversal pattern of three consecutive black candles that progressively shrink and stabilize: a long black candle with a long lower shadow, a smaller black candle probing lower, then a small black marubozu contained within the second candle's range. A hit (+100) signals a bullish reversal; per the code comment it is meaningful in a downtrend, but the function does not verify prior trend.
Notes
- Does not verify the prior downtrend the pattern classically assumes for significance.
