About This Scan
Three white soldiers is a bullish candlestick pattern made of three consecutive green candles. This scan requires each candle to have a body of at least 1%, each close and each open to be higher than the one before, and each open to be no more than 1% above the previous close. That last rule matters on NSE, where stocks often gap. Turnover must be at least Rs 5 Cr. The list is short because the pattern is strict.

How To Use This Scan
- •Check where the pattern forms. After a long decline it can mark a turn. After a long rally it can mean the move is already stretched.
- •Look at the upper wicks on the three candles. Long wicks show sellers appearing at the highs.
- •Do not chase the third candle. Consider a pullback toward the middle of its body, with a stop below the first candle's open. Its mirror is Three Black Crows.
