CDLXSIDEGAP3METHODS

Summary

A three-candle continuation pattern: two same-color candles separated by a real-body gap, followed by an opposite-color candle that fills into the gap. Bullish (upside) when the first two candles are white, bearish (downside) when they are black. A hit signals trend continuation: +100 bullish (uptrend resumes), -100 bearish (downtrend resumes).

Notes

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