Indicator: Three outside

body = |close - open|, range = high - low, upper wick = high - max(open, close), lower wick = min(open, close) - low

up: the first two bars are a bullish engulfing and the third closes above the second close

down: the first two bars are a bearish engulfing and the third closes below the second close

Found: 1 up, -1 down

A bar whose high equals its low, or that has a missing price, is never part of a pattern. Computed on the prices the bars are drawn with: on Heikin-Ashi or Renko bars those are the built candles.
