Candle pattern recognition retuning values

[sribna]

Hello
Thanks for your effort writing this package

When I call candlestick pattern recognition functions, they return either false or an array of calculated data. How to interpret the arrays?

For example this

array(1) {
  [11]=>
  float(0)
}

Key is candle index, right? What is 0?

According to your code

phpTraderNative/source/TALib/Core/PatternRecognition.php

Line 682 in e77d8e8

$outInteger[$outIdx++] = ($inClose[$i] >= $inOpen[$i] ? 1 : -1) * 100;

I assume 0 - not found, 100 - bullish candle, -100 - bearish candle. I'm I right?

Hi @sribna ,
Thank you for your question. You are correct.

I understand the confusion. Even though this library provides the same results as the Trader extension, the PHP docs do not say what the results are either.

0 is not found, 100 is bullish, and -100 is bearish. Some candles are only bearish or bullish, and some can be both.

I have no idea of how to use this package, wish me luck 🤞
