CDLLONGLEGGEDDOJI

Summary

Single-candle doji (open ~ close) with at least one long shadow. Signals market indecision, not a directional bias. Marks indecision/uncertainty; not inherently bullish or bearish despite the positive sign.

Formula

One candle. Hit when: real body <= BodyDoji average (doji body) AND (lower shadow > ShadowLong average OR upper shadow > ShadowLong average), i.e. at least one long shadow.

Notes

Only one long shadow (upper or lower) is required, whereas the classic pattern shows both long upper and lower shadows.

Inputs

inPriceOHLC — OHLC price series (open, high, low, close)

Outputs

outInteger — +100 when the pattern is present, 0 otherwise. Only +100 is emitted; the code never emits -100, and the positive sign does NOT mean bullish
