Formula
body = |close - open|, range = high - low, upper wick = high - max(open, close), lower wick = min(open, close) - low
upper wick >= wick_mult * body, lower wick <= opposite_pct / 100 * range, the body inside the bottom body_zone_pct of the range, and after a rise: close[i-1] > close[i-1-trend_bars]

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.
