I'm not a candlestick guy. The following Personal Criteria Formulas are taken from Boolean PCFs for Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing:
ABS(C1 - O1) > (H1 - L1) * .5 AND C1 < O1 AND C > O1 AND O < C1
Bearish Engulfing:
C1 > O1 AND C1 < O AND O1 > C
These could be written as the following RealCode Conditions:
'Bullish Engulfing
If System.Math.Abs(Price.Last(1) - Price.Open(1)) > _
(Price.High(1) - Price.Low(1)) * .5 And _
Price.Last(1) < Price.Open(1) And _
Price.Last > Price.Open(1) And _
Price.Open < Price.Last(1) Then Pass
'Bearish Engulfing
If Price.Last(1) > Price.Open(1) And _
Price.Last(1) < Price.Open And _
Price.Open(1) > Price.Last Then Pass

They are RealCode Conditions. So you would select RealCode Editor | Condition to enter them into Blocks. Just copy and paste the code and select Apply.
Once you have the Conditions in the Condition Palette, you can Drag and Drop them to Filter, Watchlist, Chart or BackScanner to use them.

The Bullish Engulfing RealCode Condition starts with 'Bullish Engulfing and the Bearish Engulfing RealCode Condition starts with 'Bearish Engulfing, but you can skip the first line of either RealCode Condition if desired (these lines are just commented out titles).
They do not produce any errors when used as RealCode Conditions on my computer. What error messages are you receiving?

The Condition will work with StockFinder RT the same way it works with U.S. Stocks Charts & Scans except that it will use the Real Time data.

StockFinder RT is one of the Products & Services powered by Blocks. It provides Real Time streaming data. The Condition will be calculated using the most recent data available, so if you are using StockFinder RT, you could certainly use the Condition an hour before the Market Close if desired.

The easiest way would be to right-click on your Price and Volume Indicators and select Create Condition (or Dragging and Dragging Price and Volume to the Condition Palette). That said, you could create a RealCode Condition that could be Dragged and Dropped onto the Filter as well:
If Volume >= 1000 And _
Price.Last >= 20 Then Pass

Click on the Share icon and then on the layout tab. Julia has a layout for candlestick formations.

golfermarc,
You can adjust the Volume by adjusting the number used in the following line (Volume is reported in blocks of 100 shares):
If Volume >= 1000 And _
anauel63,
Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:
If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!
Media General was acquired by Hemscott which was acquired by Morningstar. The current name of the Industry Groups is Morningstar Industry Groups.

Do you anticipate them changing the name of Blocks to StockFinder eventually?
