Hi Guys, I want to create a hammer exploration, but I dont want to use the defualt one in metastock as I cannot change the parameters. I get too few candidates so I want to create my own. I basically want an exploration that will give me results which show that the upper body of the candle is at most half the length of the candle or higher, regardless if it closed up or down for the day. can anyone help? thanks in advance

You haven't posted any of your own attempt, so it's hard for members here to provide any assistance to correct your errors.

If you haven't even made an attempt to do this yourself, then I suggest you start by reading the MS User Manual, downloading the free Equis Formula Primer and working through the exercises contained therein; if you get stuck with your own code, then post it here where someone will offer their time to assist you.

You need to trap the occasions when H=L to avoid divide by zero errors. The code may work, but is it what was originally requested? I was thinking something more along the lines of:
Code:
{modified hammer}
H=Max(O,C) AND
Min(O,C) >= (H+L)/2;
