CDLEVENINGDOJISTAR

Summary

A three-candle bearish reversal pattern: a long white candle, a doji that gaps up (the star), then a black candle closing well down into the first candle's body. A stricter Evening Star whose middle candle must be a doji. Hit (-100) signals a bearish top reversal.

Notes

Does not verify the preceding uptrend the bearish reversal classically assumes.
