Candlestick Pattern EveningStar Incorrect.

[snub-fighter]

Looking at evening star and it appears to be incorrect. Is this actually considered an evening star because this is engulfing the previous bar.

Here is the full code to reproduce

    exchange = 'binance'

The pattern you describe is an evening star as per the link above since the 3rd candle should close below the midpoint of the 1st candle

Hey thanks. That does clear it up. I was considering the middle elevated candlestick from your link as the evening star. My misunderstanding. Thank you.
