Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Look for long/short candlesticks in a OHLC price series

CSPLongCandle(TS, n=20, threshold=1)
CSPShortCandle(TS, n=20, threshold=1)
CSPLongCandleBody(TS, n=20, threshold=1)
CSPShortCandleBody(TS, n=20, threshold=1)

`TS`	xts Time Series containing OHLC prices
`n`	number of preceding candles to calculate median candle length
`threshold`	minimum/maximum candle length in relation to the median candle length of `n` preceding candles

In order to classify a candle a long candle, the relative length (Hi-Lo)/(Hi+Lo)/2 must be greater or equal threshold times the median of the relative candle length of n preceding candles.
To classify a candle a short candle, the relative length must be smaller than threshold times the median of the relative candle length of n preceding candles.

A xts object containing the columns:
CSPLongCandle:

`LongWhiteCandle`	TRUE if Long White Candle detected
`LongBlackCandle`	TRUE if Long Black Candle detected

CSPShortCandle:

`ShortWhiteCandle`	TRUE if Short White Candle detected
`ShortBlackCandle`	TRUE if Short Black Candle detected

CSPLongCandleBody:

`LongWhiteCandleBody`	TRUE if Long White Candle Body detected
`LongBlackCandleBody`	TRUE if Long Black Candle Body detected

CSPShortCandleBody:

`ShortWhiteCandleBody`	TRUE if Short White Candle Body detected
`ShortBlackCandleBody`	TRUE if Short Black Candle Body detected
