CDLMATCHINGLOW

Summary

A two-candle pattern of two consecutive black (bearish) candles with equal closes (within a tolerance). Treated as a bullish reversal signal. A hit signals a potential bullish reversal (shared support close after two down candles).

Formula

Two candles i-1, i. Candle i-1: black (close<open). Candle i: black (close<open). Equal closes: close[i-1]-E <= close[i] <= close[i-1]+E, where E = the Equal average. No shadow, body-size, or gap conditions are checked.

Notes

• The bullish-reversal reading assumes a prior downtrend, which is not verified.

Inputs

• inOpen — Open price of each bar
• inHigh — High price of each bar
• inLow — Low price of each bar
• inClose — Close price of each bar

Outputs

• outInteger — +100 when the pattern is present, 0 otherwise. Only +100 is ever emitted (matching low is always bullish); never -100
