CDLTAKURI

Summary

Single-candle pattern: a doji whose open and close sit at the high (no/very short upper shadow) with a very long lower shadow, i.e. a dragonfly doji with an exceptionally long lower shadow. Emitted as a positive signal, but its directional meaning depends on the prevailing trend, which the code does not check. A hit marks a takuri (dragonfly-doji) line; a potential reversal only when read against the trend (typically a bottom/bullish reversal after a downtrend), which the code itself does not verify.

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 takuri pattern is detected, 0 otherwise. Never negative; the positive sign is a convention and does not by itself imply bullishness
