when I create a new easy scan, just with this pcf, it still comes back as true? It does not give me a value

What happens when you sort a WatchList by the PCF?
What happens if you delete and recreate the PCF?

It still gives me a true value instead of a range. When I change the watchlist to say flagged items, and short by body as % of shadow, it does not show a value in the sort colum.

When you tested your PCF, you posted back that it gave you a result of 31.52. That exact PCF could not possibly return a TRUE or FALSE result in an EasyScan if it returned a value when you tested it.
It think we're having a bit of a communication problem here, and that your dilemna could be easily solved if you were to have someone talk you through this on the phone. Unfortunately, we trainers are not equipped to handle phone support, so you will need to contact the support staff at (919) 408-0542.
If the problem is not one of communication, then it is a technical problem, and you'll need to talk to support for that, anyway. I really think that a quick phone call will get this problem solved for you. I believe they have access to this site, so you might want to direct them to this video thread, so they can see what you're trying to do.

Hi
I would like to use the 2 formulas you posted under the video on the first page to find monthly hammers. How would I do this? Thanks.

markd859123,
Please try the following formula variations:
Monthly Body as % of Shadow
ABS(C - O20) / (MAXH21 - MINL21) * 100
Monthly Body Center as % of Shadow
(((C + O20) / 2) - MINL21) / (MAXH21 - MINL21) * 100

I'm sure these candlestick PCF'S are saved in a library somewhere online for your users ... how do I access them (vs having to rewrite them) ???
thanks ... gz

All PCFs have to be created by the user. Here is a video on how to create PCFs: How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

Bruce..
I have the two main pcfs in a scan adn they are ranked.
Then I went to add your :
Body Bottom as % of Shadow:
(O+C-2*L-ABS(O-C))/(H-L)*50
Am I correct in adding that or is that just another way of finding out where the bottom is on the candle?
When I add it to the scan it doesnt change the number of stocks that i end up with compared to not adding it..
Thanks

Yes. It should return the position of the Bottom of the Candle versus the entire Range (from 0 to 100).

It's not a Boolean Formula. Have you adjusted the Rangefinder?

This PCF returns where the bottom of the body is as a percent of the whole channel. Values of 0 put the body at the bottom of the shodow (no bottom wick)

Hey Craig,
I am new here so I have been reviewing your video about the hammer and the hangman cnadlestick patterns. I copied and psted your formulas but when I run a test it says the number of days is required. How do I set the number of days to 5? I like wroking with weekly charts, they tend to iron out fluctuations

That number means the number of days of data the PCF needs to calculate its numbers, not the number of days/bar on the chart.
Check out this video: How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)
Try this PCF to find weekly hammer:
((((C<O4)*C)+ ((C>O4)*O4))*(-1))-MINL5>=(MAXH5-MINL5)*0.75 AND
(MAXH5-MINL5)>(AVGH100-AVGL100)
Try this PCF to find weekly hangman:
(((C<=O4)*O4)+ ((C>O4)*C))>(MAXH5*0.95) AND
((((C<=O4)*C)+ ((C>O4)*O4)) – MINL5) > (MAXH5-MINL5)*0.75
