Bullish Abandoned Baby Strategy (C# Version)

The Bullish Abandoned Baby is a rare three-candle pattern featuring a gap down doji followed by a gap up. This formation leaves the middle candle "abandoned" and often precedes a sharp reversal higher.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 76%. It performs best in the forex market.

The strategy buys at the open of the third candle once it gaps above the doji, anticipating strong follow-through as shorts cover.

Stops reside just beneath the doji low, ensuring losses remain small if the reversal fails to hold.
