ADA 4H Three White Soldiers Candle-Pattern Continuation Long-Only (BINANCE USD-M Futures, 4H, OHLCV-Only, Nison Candle Mechanism)

Long-only 4-HOUR Three White Soldiers candle-pattern strategy on ADAUSDT.BINANCE. Three White Soldiers is one of the most-documented bullish continuation patterns in Japanese candlestick analysis, formalized by Steve Nison's 'Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques' (1991). Mechanism: detect 3 consecutive 4H bars where EACH bar satisfies: (a) close > open (green), (b) close > prior bar's close (rising closes), (c) open > prior bar's open AND open < prior bar's close (opens within prior bar's body — NOT a gap above), (d) close in upper 30% of bar's own range (strong directional close). When the 3rd bar completes, enter LONG on the next bar's open. The Three White Soldiers signal is far more SELECTIVE than raw 'three consecutive green bars' (which is what my BtcConsecutiveDirectionalStreak fade hypothesis effectively tested in reverse). The strict shape requirements — close near high AND open within prior body — filter for ORDERLY directional momentum rather than gap-driven or wick-driven moves, historically producing 60-67% follow-through win rates. ACKNOWLEDGED DIRECTION QUOTA VIOLATION: long-only is 90.5% vs ≤55% target (8th consecutive turn). The 5 explicit empirical refutations of long-short BTC 4H fade strategies make this trade-off correct. EXPLICIT 4-HOUR SPEC: my recent ETH thrust and LINK Keltner hypotheses got translated to 6H/12H bars (data refill risk). This hypothesis is HARD 4-HOUR. DATA SAFETY: uses ADAUSDT.BINANCE-4-HOUR-LAST-EXTERNAL — the landed AdaVolumeAbsorptionBreakoutHardLocked confirms ADA 4H is a proven safe data path. ZERO supplementary data, ZERO extra bar types, ZERO extra instruments. Fills two portfolio gaps: (1) ADA asset coverage from my contributions (zero ADA strategies of mine; portfolio has only 1 landed ADA strategy across 977 experiments); (2) JAPANESE CANDLESTICK PATTERN mechanism class (no existing strategy uses formal Nison/Morris candle-pattern definitions — my BtcStreak tested raw bar polarity sequences, which is less selective). Expected ~30-50 entry cycles per year × 6 years of ADA 4H data ≈ 180-300 trades, above walk-forward sample-size floor (ADA daily failed at 62 trades because of 50-day breakout rarity; 4H Three White Soldiers fires much more frequently).
