CDLCLOSINGMARUBOZU

Summary

Single-candle pattern: a long real body whose closing end has no or very short shadow, so the close sits at the candle's extreme. Non-directional strong bar that emits +100 for a white body and -100 for a black body. White (+100) is bullish, black (-100) is bearish; a strong directional bar, not a defined reversal/continuation signal.

Formula

One candle. Requires: (1) long real body: real body > the BodyLong average; AND (2) very short shadow at the closing end: if white (close>=open) upper shadow < the ShadowVeryShort average [close at/near high]; if black (close<open) lower shadow < the ShadowVeryShort average [close at/near low].
