Typically, green candles are hollow and red candles are filled. An oxymoronic candle is colored bullishly but filled bearishly (solid green) or vice versa (hollow red).

1) Price gaps up and closes lower...
This inverted hammer indicator has several options that help identify instances with a higher probability of success.
For example, inverted hammers may have a higher success rate when they:

etc.
