CDLMORNINGDOJISTAR

Summary

A three-candle bullish reversal pattern: a long black candle, then a doji that gaps down, then a white candle closing well up into the first candle's body. It is the doji-star variant of the morning star. A hit (+100) signals a bullish reversal; most meaningful after a downtrend, which this function does not verify.

Notes

The gap-down is measured between the candles' real bodies, not between their high/low ranges.
A prior downtrend is not verified.

Inputs

inPriceOHLC — Open, High, Low, Close price series

Outputs

outInteger — +100 when the pattern is detected, 0 otherwise. Always bullish; never emits -100

Parameters

optInPenetration — Fraction (default 0.3) of the 1^st candle's real body the 3^rd close must exceed above close[i-2]; larger values demand deeper penetration into the black body
