The filter checks: close[0] < close[1] < close[2] — three successive bars where each close is below the previous. on the Monthly timeframe, this represents three straight months of declining closes, which is a notable deterioration signal for a universe dominated by large-cap US equities — stocks that typically maintain long-term upward bias. No volume, EMA, or level conditions are added.
Three consecutive lower monthly closes can signal the onset of a meaningful intermediate downtrend, particularly if they follow a failed breakout attempt or occur while price is below a key moving average. The key failure mode is treating this as a shorting trigger in the middle of a long-term bull trend: three lower closes after a long advance is often a normal pause or base-building phase, not a distribution top. A second failure mode is reverting to the mean — stocks that have declined for three straight months are statistically more likely to see a fourth or fifth month of decline than a sudden reversal, but the reversal risk is real if prior support levels are near. Combine with Sustained Selling Pressure for additional candle-composition confirmation. Compare to Five Lower Closes for a stricter version, and Three Higher Closes for the bull-side mirror.
