Yes, it is possible to create signals using Range Bars to identify candlestick patterns such as Hammer Patterns. However, ProRealTime’s ProScreener and ProBuilder are generally based on fixed time frames (e.g., 1 minute, hourly, daily, etc.). The ProScreener allows you to identify patterns on these predefined time frames, as mentioned in the manual, but it does not natively support Range Bars directly.
You can still implement your logic for Hammer Patterns using ProBuilder by simulating Range Bars. This involves coding the logic to identify the open, high, low, and close within your desired range criteria. Here’s how you might approach coding a Hammer Pattern in ProBuilder for a simulated Range Bar:

// Variables for defining the hammer pattern
Body=ABS(Close-Open)// The length of the body
UpperShadow=High-MAX(Open,Close)// The length of the upper shadow
LowerShadow=MIN(Open,Close)-Low// The length of the lower shadow
