Three Outside Up/Down

Description

The CDL3OUTSIDE worker is an indicator used in financial markets to identify specific candlestick patterns. It is part of a broader category of candlestick pattern recognition tools used in technical analysis.

What does this worker do?

This worker identifies the Three Outside Up and Three Outside Down candlestick patterns.

• The Three Outside Up pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that occurs during a downtrend. It consists of three consecutive candles:
  1. A long bearish candle,
  2. A bullish candle that completely engulfs the previous candle (high > previous high and low < previous low), and
  3. A bullish candle that closes above the second candle's close.
• The Three Outside Down pattern is a bearish reversal pattern that occurs during an uptrend. It consists of three consecutive candles:
  1. A long bullish candle,
  2. A bearish candle that completely engulfs the previous candle (high > previous high and low < previous low), and
  3. A bearish candle that closes below the second candle's close.

How to Interpret the Results

The worker returns a value indicating the presence and type of the pattern:

• Bullish (1): Indicates the Three Outside Up pattern was identified, suggesting a potential bullish reversal.
• Bearish (-1): Indicates the Three Outside Down pattern was identified, suggesting a potential bearish reversal.
• Neutral (0): Indicates no pattern was identified.
