I am looking for a three day candlestick pattern. Yesterdays close is less than the close two days ago. And today's open is equal/greater than yesterdays open. And today's close is greater than today's open.

Pretty basic:

C1<C2 AND O=>O1 and C>O

check out this post so you can see how easy the language is to learn:

I had tried that criteria and the candle pattern did not look right. I am looking for a Kicking Bullish Signal. Where the last two days, closed lower than the day before. And todays open was equal to/ greater than yesterdays open and todays close is greater than todays open. Thanks

The formula reflects exactly what you asked for in the first post. This one reflects what you asked for in your post just above (which is different).

C<C1 AND C1<C2 AND O=>O1 AND C>O

If this does not work, please isolate why and add it to your request. Be sure to tell me what, specifically, looks wrong so we can isolate it.

As of scan Market Closing(6-23). The following symbols appeared after EasY Scan, using above PCF. BMET,MCHP,ERICY,DISH,LFUS,TIWI, AND DHC. The PCF, I am looking for is Steve Bigalow (Bullish Kicker) from Futures Magazine (Page 37) in the June issue. A Bullish Kicker is formed when a downtrend alters its direction.Price opens at the same level or higher than the previous day and proceeds to close in the opposite direction of the previous day.

moekan,

I need you to detail what is or is not working for this PCF. If these tickers are not meeting your requirements I need you to specifically explain why in terms of the price information why they fail to meet your requirements.

I am not familiar with Mr. Bigalow's article so I need your help so we can try and get this right for you.

Based on the new information you have above, try this:

C>C1 AND C2<C3 AND C1<C2 AND O=>O1 AND C>O

Again, if the stocks this finds are not what you want, please explain, in detail, why so I can make adjustments. I can only work from the information you provide me.

Craig wrote the formula for what you asked for in your second post yesterday. However, if I read your request correcctly, the O1 at the end of should simply be an O. The formula should read:

C<C1 AND C1<C2 AND O=>O1 AND C>O

As for the bullish kicker, I don't have access to the article you're referring to. If you can clearly state how the O, H, L, and C relate to each other for the past three days, we can write the formula. For instance, I don't know what you mean when you say proceeds to close in the opposite direction of the previous day. We have to know waht the stock did on the day previous to the start of the pattern.
