CDLRISEFALL3METHODS

Summary

A five-candle continuation pattern: a long candle, three small counter-color candles that stay partly within the first candle's high-low range, then a long same-color candle that resumes the trend. Bullish (rising) or bearish (falling) continuation signal. A hit signals trend continuation: +100 = bullish (rising three methods), -100 = bearish (falling three methods).

Notes

Only the three-small-candle variant is detected; the classic pattern allowing two or more small candles is not supported.
The middle candles need only partially overlap the first candle's range, not be fully contained within it.
The prior trend the continuation reading assumes is not verified.

Inputs

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

Outputs

outInteger — +100 when candle 1 is white (rising/bullish continuation), -100 when candle 1 is black (falling/bearish continuation), 0 otherwise. Sign = 100 * color of candle 1
