Hi Support
I am trying to create a scan as follows.

Doji yesterday
Bull kicker today

Created 2 pcf's

Doji yesterday
(O1 = C1 )  

Bull Kicker today
(O1 > C1) AND (O >= O1) AND (C > O)

When I create a scan and use this combination it comes up with no results.

When I use them separatly they work fine.
Doji Yesterday gave 765 results (today)

Bull kicker today gave 116 results. (today)

Could you put me on the right track and possible the correct formula

Thank you.

You cannot have a bull kicker today and a doji yesterday as your  PCFs above define them.

Look at your logic.

Your doji requires that
O1=C1

Your Bull Kicker requires that
O1>C1

Both of these cannot happen at the same time.  Either O1 is equal to C1 or it is greater than it.  It cannot be both.

Please try the following:

O1 = C1 AND C > H1
