I'm not a candlestick expert by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know if a Wide Range Candle means a Large Body compared to the total Range for the day. Say greater than 80%:

ABS(O - C) > .8 * (H - L)

Or if it means the total Range for the day is large compared to the average Daily Range. Say more than twice as large as the 90-Period Simple Moving Average of Range:

H - L > 2 * (AVGH90 - AVGL90)

I also can't define what constitutes a huge volume spike.

Volume is three times the 50-Period Simple Moving Average of Volume would be:

V > 2 * AVGV50

Volume is ten times the 30-Period Exponential Moving Average of Volume would be:

V > 10 * XAVGV30
