Good afternoon,

How would I create a PCF to scan for stocks that show an engulfing line (bullish)?

Thank you

I'm not a candlestick guy (at all), but the formula given in Boolean PCFs for Candlestick Patterns for a Bullish Engulfing Pattern is:

ABS(C1 - O1) > (H1 - L1) * .5 AND C1 < O1 AND C > O1 AND O < C1
