CDLINVERTEDHAMMER

Summary

Single-candle pattern: a small real body with a long upper shadow and little-to-no lower shadow that gaps down from the prior candle. Bullish reversal signal. A hit (+100) flags a potential bullish reversal.

Notes

  • Does not verify the preceding downtrend that the pattern classically assumes; it only checks the gap down from the immediately preceding candle.

Inputs

  • inPriceOHLC — Open, High, Low, Close price series

Outputs

  • outInteger — +100 when the inverted hammer is detected, 0 otherwise. Never emits -100; the pattern is always bullish
