The Three White Soldiers pattern is a classic bullish reversal consisting of three consecutive strong up candles.
After a downtrend, this sequence often marks the start of a sustained move higher as buying pressure overwhelms sellers.
The strategy enters long once the third soldier forms, expecting follow-through from the surge in momentum.
Short trades are not taken because the setup is purely bullish, but the system does allow exiting short positions initiated by other methods.
Stops are placed a short distance below the pattern to guard against false signals and positions exit if price closes back below that level.
