Here is the definition of a Morning Star:

A three day bullish reversal pattern consisting of three candlesticks. A large black body followed by a small body. The following candlestick is a white body that closes 50% or more into the black body.

Here is the definition of an Evening Star:

A three day bearish reversal pattern consisting of three candlesticks. A large white body followed by a small body. The following candlestick is a black body that closes 50% or less into the white body.

Here are the PCFs you need:

Body as % of avg Range 2days ago

ABS(C2-O2)/(AVGH21.2-AVGL21.2)*100

Body as % of avg Range yesterday

ABS(C1-O1)/(AVGH21.1-AVGL21.1)*100

Close as % of Open 2 days ago
C2/O2*100

Close as % of Open yesterday
C1/O1*100

Close as % of Open
C/O*100

Close as % of Body 2 days ago
C/((C2+O2)/2)*100

Once you create these you can add them all to an EasyScan. Set the values/ranks as follows

For Morning Star for Evening Star :
Body as % of avg Range 2days ago
and (you will have to play with this one to fit your definition of a 'large body' but start with a RANK of 80 to Max)

Body as % of avg Range yesterday
and (same as above. Start with a RANK of MIN to 20)

Close as % of Open 2 days ago
(VALUE MIN to 99.99)
(VALUE 100.01 to MAX)

Close as % of Open yesterday
(VALUE 100.01 to MAX)
(VALUE MIN to 99.99)

Close as % of Open
(VALUE 100.01 to MAX)
(VALUE MIN to 99.99)

Close as % of Body 2 days ago
(VALUE 100.01 to MAX)
(VALUE MIN to 99.99)
