That said, I personally do not think complex pattern recognition is practical in TC2000 using formulas and Scans.
They are at the very least beyond my abilities to help you create without a specific unambiguous objective definition of what you are attempting to identify. It can't be an I know it when I see it type of definition or be based entirely on an image.
This is true of pattern recognition in general with the exception of fixed size candlestick patterns, which are fairly straightforward as long as the pattern is well defined. The first topic referenced in the post has formulas for candlestick patterns.
The following topic has has Condition Formulas to identify candlestick patterns in TC2000.
Boolean PCFs for Candlestick Patterns
There really isn't a book of which I am aware on creating PCFs and EasyScans.
The PCF Formula Descriptions topic lists all of the syntax which is valid in the Personal Criteria Formula Language and the Handy PCF example formulas to help you learn the syntax of PCFs! topic has basic examples of this syntax in use.
I'm not quite sure how useful it would be to anybody else, but the Personal Criteria Formulas topic has a list of topics I find useful.
You are generally better off not creating formulas unless absolutely necessary. So I would check out the following videos as well.
