What this market video covers
Passing one test does not complete a morning star screen. This historical McDonald’s replay uses completed five minute IEX bars from October eighth, twenty twenty six. The middle body is three and a half cents, one sixth of the first body. Its body gaps below the first, and the third close exceeds the first body midpoint. Those geometry checks pass. But we also declared a first body at least three times the median of the preceding ten bodies, plus three declining prior closes. The first body is twenty one cents. The prior median is twenty seven point seven five cents, so the ratio is only about zero point seven five seven. The prior closes also do not decline consecutively. This candidate fails both chosen filters. These are explicit teaching thresholds, not universal rules. A checklist needs every required condition; a passing midpoint alone neither completes this screen nor guarantees a reversal. Historical observed market-data replay.
