Warm-up: 2 bars (2 at the defaults).

Repaints: No.

## Formula

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

three rising bars with each close above the one before; each of the second and third opens within the body of the bar before; each upper wick <= wick_pct / 100 * its bar's range

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.
