maybe it just does reach the criteria, though i would of liked for the third red candle to be closer to 2/3 down the length of the first..would like to know if you would trade that one for real
I screen printed that chart while the internet feed was live and that evening star was not complete yet!!
I do not know what it became in the end.

We use common sense when looking at the pattern.
The deeper into the BB, the better, but with 2 of the wicks touching here, it should be ok.
It is best if the candle bodies pass thro the BB.
