# CDLSTALLEDPATTERN

## Summary

A three-candle pattern of three white candles with consecutively higher closes where the third loses momentum (a small body riding on the shoulder of the second's long body). It is a bearish reversal signal of a stalling advance. A hit (-100) is bearish: the uptrend is stalling and may reverse.

## Notes

- The pattern classically appears in an uptrend, but this function does not verify a prior uptrend; the caller must confirm it.

## Inputs

- `inPriceOHLC` — OHLC price series (open, high, low, close)

## Outputs

- `outInteger` — -100 when the pattern is detected (always bearish), 0 otherwise. Never emits +100
