CDLIDENTICAL3CROWS

Summary

A three-candle bearish reversal pattern: three consecutive declining black candles, each with a very short (or no) lower shadow, where each candle after the first opens at or very near the prior candle's close. A hit signals a bearish reversal (pattern is always bearish).

Notes

Does not verify the preceding uptrend that the bearish reversal classically assumes.
Does not require the three bodies to be equal in size; 'identical' refers only to each candle opening at or near the previous candle's close.

inHigh — High price of each bar
inLow — Low price of each bar

Outputs
