Harami Cross
A harami whose second candle is a doji — so the small inside body is not merely small but effectively absent.
Treated as a stronger version of the harami on the grounds that a doji says less than a small body does. Whether "less information in the second candle" should mean "more signal from the pair" is exactly the kind of claim that only a measurement can settle.
What a harami cross has actually done
Every occurrence we hold, scored on whether price moved more than 0.5% in the pattern’s own direction within three candles.
| Timeframe | Occurrences | Reached target | Baseline | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1H · crypto | 6,610 | 32.7% | 22.1% | +10.6pp |
| 4H · crypto | 1,980 | 36.5% | 33.4% | +3.1pp |
| 1D · crypto | 1,797 | 29.0% | 35.6% | -6.6pp |
Baseline is the share of ordinary candles that passed the same test over the same period, same timeframe and same direction. A rate at or below it means the shape added nothing. Edge is the difference between the two. This is a record of what followed, not a forecast.
