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

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
