CDLTRISTAR: Tristar Pattern Indicator

Description​

The CDLTRISTAR indicator is a technical analysis tool used to identify the Tristar pattern, a rare and significant candlestick formation in financial markets. This indicator is designed to help traders and analysts detect this specific pattern in price charts.

What does this worker do?​

The CDLTRISTAR indicator analyzes a set of financial data, specifically looking for the Tristar pattern, which consists of three consecutive candlesticks with specific characteristics:

  • The first candlestick is a long-bodied candle with a small upper and lower shadow.
  • The second candlestick is a small-bodied candle with a small upper and lower shadow, often referred to as a "star."
  • The third candlestick is a long-bodied candle with a small upper and lower shadow, similar to the first candlestick.

The indicator takes the following parameters:

  • dataExp: The prices data to analyze.
  • open: The column with opening prices.
  • high: The column with highest prices.
  • low: The column with lowest prices.
  • close: The column with closing prices.

How to interpret the results​

When the CDLTRISTAR indicator detects a Tristar pattern, it can be a sign of a potential trend reversal. The Tristar pattern can occur at the top or bottom of a trend, indicating a possible change in direction.

  • A bullish Tristar pattern ( occurring at the bottom of a downtrend) can indicate a potential buy signal.
  • A bearish Tristar pattern (occurring at the top of an uptrend) can indicate a potential sell signal.
