Signal Logic

DirectionCondition
LongClose == High and lower wick (Open − Low) >= MinWickTicks ticks
ShortClose == Low and upper wick (High − Open) >= MinWickTicks ticks

A Long signal indicates a bullish rejection bar (pin bar) where price closed at the high with a long lower shadow. A Short signal indicates the opposite.

Example

var signal = new BarWickSignal(strategy);
signal.MinWickTicks = 8;

pattern.Signals.Root.Add(signal);
