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.
