Plain-language meaning
Morning- and evening-star candidates compare three completed candles using disclosed body, gap and third-candle penetration rules.
Why it is useful
Morning and evening star patterns is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.
Where it appears in XMarketRadar
Look for Morning and evening star patterns in Advanced Chart settings, indicator panels, screeners and technical research for the selected listing and bar interval.
How it is calculated or sourced
Use three completed candles with disclosed first-body, middle-body, optional-gap and third-candle penetration thresholds. The pattern is unavailable until the third bar closes and preceding-trend context is valid.
Inputs, period and unit
Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.
Worked example
Illustrative only: A large down body, a small second body and a third up candle closing well into the first body can satisfy one morning-star rule only after all three bars are complete.
What high and low mean
A higher or lower Morning and evening star patterns value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.
Positive, negative and genuine zero
Positive and negative Morning and evening star patterns values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.
Limitations and common mistakes
Morning and evening star patterns may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.
Market-specific differences
The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
