Three White Soldiers

The formation describes three sessions of sustained buying without meaningful intraday give-back, which is a genuine description of persistent demand rather than a single period's shape. The two supplementary conditions — opening inside the previous body and closing near the high — are what distinguish it from three ordinary up days, and omitting them makes the term meaningless. Practitioners note that by the third candle a considerable move has already happened, so entering on completion means buying after the described strength. The entry defines the formation and forecasts nothing.
