CDLCOUNTERATTACK

Summary

A two-candle pattern of two long, opposite-colored real bodies whose closing prices are (nearly) equal. Emits a bullish signal when the second candle is white and a bearish signal when it is black (a reversal signal, though its trend context is not checked). A hit signals a reversal: +100 (white 2nd candle) bullish, -100 (black 2nd candle) bearish; significance depends on a prior trend the code does not check.

Notes

• Does not verify the prior trend the reversal signal classically assumes.
