Inefficient Candles

Larger than normal candles, where price has never returned to its 50% position.

The candle immediately before the inefficient candle can square it up, or any candle after it.

If it hasn't been squared up, and it's slightly past your PCL, you can extend the PCL to a little before the 50% mark.

These can act as a magnet to price, and can extend the reach of your trade, and improve your risk to reward ratio.

However if there's a resistance line before it, don't push your luck. Keep the take profit just short of the resistance line. Better to be safe and consistent.
