CDLTASUKIGAP

Summary

A three-candle pattern: a real-body-gapping candle followed by an opposite-color candle that opens inside its body and closes back into the gap without filling it. An upside gap is a bullish continuation signal; a downside gap is a bearish continuation signal. Hit signals trend continuation: +100 bullish (in an uptrend), -100 bearish (in a downtrend).

Notes

This continuation pattern does not verify the prior trend it classically assumes; the caller must confirm the trend.
