Describe what makes a daily candle a "topping tail" for me.

Over what period of time do you want the stock to be up 8 points?

What Stoc settings are you using?

What are your Stochastic settings on your chart (period, SK, SD)?

I understand where you want the stochastics to be. What I need is WHAT the stochastic settings are for your plotted stochastic indicator on the chart.

I need the values for your PERIOD and the SK PERIOD.

Please watch this short video to see what I mean

Please create the following X PCF formulas:

6-Week Net Move
L-MINL30

Stoc 14 and 3 Today
STOC14.3

Open as % of Range
100*(O-L)/(H-L)

Close as % of Range
100*(C-L)/(H-L)

here is video on how to create a PCF:

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

Once they are created and calculated, please watch this video

Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria

...then build the following EasyScan

WatchList (ALL STOCKS)
Price Per Share (VALUE: 30 to 150)
Volume 90-day (VALUE: 3000 to MAX)
6-Week Net Move (VALUE: 8 to MIN)
Stoc 14 and 3 Today (VALUE: 80 to MAX)
Open as % of Range (VALUE: MIN to 40)
Close as % of Range (VALUE: MIN to 40)

If you create the above PCFs and build the EasyScan as I direct above you will end up with only stocks where the following things are true:

The stock price will be between $30 and $150
The avg volume for the past 90 days will be at least 300,000
The stock will have moved at least 8 dollars in the last 30 trading days
The stochastics of 14 and 3 will be 80 or above
Both the open and the close of today will be in the bottom 40% of todays range (making the "tail" above the body at least 60% of the total range)

Please watch the two videos I linked then make and calculate each of the PCFs. You can then make the EasyScan and you can then check the results.
