In TC2000 version 12.2, it would depend on your settings when you click on Price History and select Edit. If Plot Style is set to CandleStick, you can have Color Based On set to One Color, Net Change or Open vs Close and Fill Based On set to Net Change or Open vs Close with options to fill Up Bars and/or Down Bars being fully selectable.

If you have Color Based On set to Net Change and Fill Based On set to Open vs Close with Up Bars checked and Down Bars unchecked, you probably want to use following Condition Formula to detect Solid Green Candles:

C > O AND C >= C1

Thanks for your reply.  The settings are as you described but I am getting red and green candles and ones that are not filled in the condition. 

 

Help!

We need to know exactly what settings you have.  My candles are colored based on Net change and filled based on  Open vs Close (hollow if C > O and filled if O > C).  The formula Bruce gave you returns True if the Close is above the Open AND the Close is above the previous Close.  Depending on your color and fill settings you may or may not get the results you're looking for.

Here are my settings:

My settings are exactly the same as your pic shows.  The problem is that the condition is not showing just filled in green candles.

 

Thanks.

Please try the following Condition Formula instead:

C <= O AND C >= C1

No, I cannot remotely access your computer. Can you provide some specific examples where the results do not match the chart?

There does not seem to be any trend with this.  I get just about every candle eg, red, green, filled in and not.

Thanks

I just logged into your account and did a scan of the SP-500 using your "Filled Green Candles" condition. It returned 64 stocks.  All were filled green candles or green dojis (crosses). If you remove the = from C <= O you won't get the dojis. 

The condition is set to a time frame of Daily. Is your chart set to Daily as well?
