Indicator: Hammer

The lower wick is at least wick_mult times the body, the upper wick at most opposite_pct percent of the range, the body sits in the top body_zone_pct percent of the range, and the close before the bar is below the close trend_bars bars earlier.

forge.ta.Hammer(**inputs: Any) -> None

A long lower wick after a fall.

Inputs

NameTypeDefaultRange
wick_multfloat20 to 10
opposite_pctfloat250 to 100
body_zone_pctfloat33.31 to 100
trend_barsint31 to 50

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

lower wick >= wick_mult * body, upper wick <= opposite_pct / 100 * range, the body inside the top body_zone_pct of the range, and after a fall: close[i-1] < close[i-1-trend_bars]

Found: 1

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.
