What is an abandoned baby?

The Abandoned Baby is the Gap version of the Morning Star and is one of the rarest and most powerful reversal signals among the three-rod patterns.

Unlike the regular Morningstar, the 2nd candle (Doji) is completely separated from the 1st and 3rd candles by a gap (price gap). Like a baby left alone by its parents.

Difference from regular Morningstar:
