Railroad Track Pattern Screener?

  Is it possible to screen for two candlesticks of near equal size that are either bullish/bearish or bearish bullish that have broken the Bollinger bands? A recent example from the S & P 500 attached. Many thanks.

  Hi,

  Try this…

  You can set the percentage difference in body and price (currently max. 2%)

   

  Railroad Track Pattern

  Once PercBodyDiff=2//Max.2% body difference Once PercPriceDiff=2//Max.2% price difference c1=Open[1]<BollingerUp[20][1] and Close[1]>BollingerUp[20][1]//Bullish c2=Open>BollingerUp[20] and Close<BollingerUp[20]//Bearish c3=Open[1]>BollingerDown[20][1] and Close[1]<BollingerDown[20][1]//Bearish c4=Open<BollingerDown[20] and Close>BollingerDown[20]//Bullish BodySize0=Abs(Close-Open) BodySize1=Abs(Close[1]-Open[1]) c5=Abs((BodySize1-BodySize0)/BodySize1)*100<PercBodyDiff c6=Abs((Open-Close[1])/Close[1])*100<PercPriceDiff Screener[(c1 and c2 and c5 and c6) or (c3 and c4 and c5 and c6)]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  Once PercBodyDiff=2//Max.2% body difference Once PercPriceDiff=2//Max.2% price difference   c1=Open[1]<BollingerUp[20][1] and Close[1]>BollingerUp[20][1]//Bullish c2=Open>BollingerUp[20] and Close<BollingerUp[20]//Bearish c3=Open[1]>BollingerDown[20][1] and Close[1]<BollingerDown[20][1]//Bearish c4=Open<BollingerDown[20] and Close>BollingerDown[20]//Bullish   BodySize0=Abs(Close-Open) BodySize1=Abs(Close[1]-Open[1])   c5=Abs((BodySize1-BodySize0)/BodySize1)*100<PercBodyDiff c6=Abs((Open-Close[1])/Close[1])*100<PercPriceDiff   Screener[(c1 and c2 and c5 and c6) or (c3 and c4 and c5 and c6)]

  Thank you. That’s very helpful and seems to be working well on the S & P 500 right now. How to turn that code into bearish? How to add a gap up or down say in the last 7 days after the pattern appears?

  The screener is for both bullish and bearish…

  Your added question about the “gap” and having the “train track” pattern play in the past will change the whole screener…
