CDLRICKSHAWMAN

Summary

Single-candle doji with two long shadows whose body sits near the midpoint of the high-low range. It is a neutral indecision signal, not a directional (bullish/bearish) reversal. A hit marks market indecision/uncertainty; neutral, neither bullish nor bearish.

Inputs

inOpen — Open price of each bar
inHigh — High price of each bar
inLow — Low price of each bar
