# CDLEVENINGDOJISTAR

## Summary

A three-candle bearish reversal pattern: a long white candle, a doji that gaps up (the star), then a black candle closing well down into the first candle's body. A stricter Evening Star whose middle candle must be a doji. Hit (-100) signals a bearish top reversal.

## Notes

- Does not verify the preceding uptrend the bearish reversal classically assumes.

## Inputs

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

## Outputs

- `outInteger` — -100 when the pattern is detected, 0 otherwise. Always bearish; never emits +100

## Parameters

- `optInPenetration` — Fraction of the 1st real body the 3rd candle's close must penetrate (default 0.3); larger demands a deeper close into the first body
