I'm really not a candlestick guy, so take my definitions with a grain of salt. If we define a doji as a candle where the High is greater than the Low and the body is less than or equal to five percent of the Body:
H > L AND ABS(O - C) <= .05 * (H - L)
And we define a Hammer as a Candle where the High is greater than the Low and the body is entirely within the top 25% of the Candle:
H > L AND O - L >= .75 * (H - L) AND C - L >= .75 * (H - L)
Then you could write your Personal Criteria Formula as:
H > L AND O - L >= .75 * (H - L) AND C - L >= .75 * (H - L) AND H1 > L1 AND ABS(O1 - C1) <= .05 * (H1 - L1)
