Look for Marubozu Candlestick Patterns in a OHLC price series

1	CSPMarubozu(TS, n=20, ATRFactor=1, maxuppershadowCL=.1, maxlowershadowCL=.1)

`TS`	xts Time Series containing OHLC prices
`n`	number of preceding candles to calculate Average True Range
`ATRFactor`	minimum size of candle body compared to the ATR
`maxuppershadowCL`	maximum tolerated upper shadow to candle length ratio
`maxlowershadowCL`	maximum tolerated lower shadow to candle length ratio

Number of candle lines: 1

White Marubozu:
A long white candle that has no shadows or only small shadows on either end.

Black Marubozu:
A long black candle that has no shadows or only small shadows on either end.

A xts object containing the columns:

`WhiteMarubozu`	TRUE if pattern detected
`BlackMarubozu`	TRUE if pattern detected

In default settings, the candle body length must be greater than the average true range of last n periods. The threshold can be varied by ATRFactor.
