# CDLSHOOTINGSTAR

## Summary

Single-candle pattern: a small real body with a long upper shadow and little-to-no lower shadow that gaps up from the prior candle's real body. Bearish reversal signal. A hit (-100) flags a bearish reversal at the top of an uptrend.

## Notes

- A preceding uptrend is not verified.

## Inputs

- `inPriceOHLC` — Open, High, Low, Close price series

## Outputs

- `outInteger` — -100 when the shooting star is detected, 0 otherwise. Only ever emits negative (bearish); never +100
