Hi,

Could someome provide me with code that I can use in the ProScreener?

I would like the screener to find all stocks that have between 5 to 10 green candles in a row

Thanks

Topic moved to ProScreener forum section.

This code should do the trick:
```
count = 0
for i = 0 to 9 do 
 if close[i]>open[i] then 
  count=count+1
 endif
 if close[i]<open[i] then 
  count=0
  break
 endif
next

test = count>=5

screener[test] (count as "green candles")
```

```
IF summation[5](close > open) = 5 THEN ...
```
Of course you might want to change the value 5 with one that best suits you.

Also, you my assign the result to a variable.

Should you need to check that the green candles need not be consecutive, i.e. 6 out of the last ten:
```
IF summation[10](close > open) = 6 THEN ...
```
To adapt it to red candles you just need to replace “close > open” with “open > close”.

this my version , first we need the consecutive green counter
```
Increase = (Close > Close[1])
Count = 0
WHILE Increase[Count] DO
Count = Count + 1
WEND
RETURN Count
```
then we need the screener
```
//5 t0 10 green candles



indicator1 = CALL "CC UP"
c1 = (indicator1 >= 5)

indicator2 = CALL "CC UP"
c2 = (indicator2 <= 10)

criteria = CALL "CC UP"

SCREENER[c1 AND c2] (criteria AS "CC UP")
```
you could make the cl and c2 inputs variables to make scan more versatile as well
```
//5 t0 10 green candles variable

a = 5

b = 10


indicator1 = CALL "CC UP"
c1 = (indicator1 >= a)

indicator2 = CALL "CC UP"
c2 = (indicator2 <= b)

criteria = CALL "CC UP"

SCREENER[c1 AND c2] (criteria AS "CC UP")
```

TO go a step further you could scan for ‘x’ greencandles lookbacking back 1 and no green candles current bar to find potential reversals
