CDLLONGLINE

Summary

A single-candle pattern: a long real body with short upper and short lower shadow. The signal direction follows the candle color (bullish if white, bearish if black). Signals strong directional conviction on the bar: +100 white/bullish, -100 black/bearish. Not intrinsically a reversal or continuation signal.
