Hammer Candle Reversal (C#)

Hammer candles often mark an intraday reversal after selling pressure subsides. This strategy looks for a hammer pattern and enters long, anticipating a rebound. The system requires a lower shadow at least twice the body and little upper shadow. Once identified, it buys with volume size and waits for profit or stop-loss.
