Thank you in advance.  What would real code be for candestick with shadow more than 1 time(s) the size of body.  Need one for upper shadow and lower shadow.

A RealCode Condition for the upper shadow being larger than the body can be be written as follows.

If Price.High - System.Math.Max(Price.Open, Price.Close) > _
	System.Math.Abs(Price.Open - Price.Close) Then Pass

A RealCode Condition for the lower shadow being larger than the body can be written as follows.

If System.Math.Min(Price.Open, Price.Close) - Price.Low > _
	System.Math.Abs(Price.Open - Price.Close) Then Pass

Thanks Bruce.  Is their a way to make this more adjustable.  For instance, the shadow being two or three times the size of the body.  What I am looking for an indicator to show candles with large shadows either up or down.  I was using the body as a form of reference not a absolute.  I am not looking for a simple "hammer".  I would like to use as a scan or a condition on a watchlist.

Hi Bruce, I asked about creating a search for " Pipe Bottom " patterns @ have not found it anywhere.    I will try and be clear... On weekly charts a stock has a down trend for at least 3 weeks.   Then it has another down week and the trading range is larger than the previous week.  Then, the next weeks trading range is very close to the previous week. Thank You   Arnie

The following RealCode Condition for the upper shadow size being more than a certain multiple of the body size has a MoreThanX user input which can be used to adjust the multiple.
