Good morning Bruce/other gurus,

I need some help with an easy PCF for a scan I'm building. The criteria I'd like to include are:

• Price is greater than the previous 40 periods;
• Current candle and 1 previous candle are white;
• No gap between current candle and 1 previous candle;
• Price is currently in the top 10% of the current candle

You guys are all invaluable assets to the trading community, and I am grateful for any assistance you can give to me here!

Thanks!

The following Condition Formula assumes price needs to be above the highs of the previous 40 periods and that a gap up requires the low to be above the previous high.

C > MAXH40.1 AND C > O AND C1 > O1 AND L <= H1 AND STOC1 >= 90

If price only needs to be above the closing prices of the previous 40 candles.

C > MAXC40.1 AND C > O AND C1 > O1 AND L <= H1 AND STOC1 >= 90

Thank you as always Bruce; you are awesome!

Oh crap; just noticed you missed a few key points. I need:

• Price is greater than the previous 40 periods;
• Current candle and 1 previous candle are white;
• No gap between current candle and 1 previous candle;
• Price is currently in the top 10% of the current candle

All these to be true. So NO gap, prive > than the previous 40 (you've given me that), current and previous are C >O, and current price is within the top 10% of the current candle's body (I saw this one in the webinar from last week).

Really appeaciate the help Bruce!

The formulas should already specify all of these things unless you have a different definition of gap up than a low above the previous high.

First option:

C > MAXH40.1

Second option:

C > MAXC40.1

C > O AND C1 > O1

L <= H1

STOC1 >= 90

SO sorry Bruce; this is what comes from not really being able to read this stuff... Feel free to dunce-hat me.

And again, MANY thanks!

Not a problem. I thought you had tested it and the results did not meet your expectation.
