Overview

For a bullish final candle it checks that the three candles before it are bearish and sit within the range of the first candle, and for a bearish final candle it does the reverse. When the pattern is found the bar background turns blue and an alert condition fires. It has no inputs and gives no stop or target. The final candle must close before the signal is valid.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
