Hello,

         It is well known that a Bullish candlestick signal above the T line--8 period ema is a strong buy signal.

Accordingly I coded an indicator--'Candlestick Bullish Pattern'

 A:=(Ref( EngulfingBull(),-1)=(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C> EngulfingBull()));
B:=(Ref( EngulfingBull(),-1)>Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1) AND (C> EngulfingBull()));
D:=(Ref( PiercingLine() ,-1)=(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C>PiercingLine()));
Y:=(Ref( PiercingLine() ,-1)>(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C>  PiercingLine()));
F:=(Ref( BullHarami() ,-1)=(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C> BullHarami() ));
G:=(Ref( BullHarami() ,-1)>(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C> BullHarami() ));
Z:=(Ref(  Hammer(),-1)=(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C> Hammer()));
J:=(Ref(  Hammer(),-1)>(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C> Hammer()));
K:=(Ref( InvHammer(),-1)=(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C>  InvHammer()));
M:=(Ref( InvHammer() ,-1)>(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C>  InvHammer())); 
N:=(Ref(  MorningStar(),-1)=(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C>   MorningStar())); 
Y:=(Ref(  MorningStar(),-1)>(Ref(Mov(C,8,E),-1)) AND (C> MorningStar())); 
X:=(A AND B) OR (D AND Y) OR (F AND G) OR (Z AND J) OR (K AND M) OR (N AND Y);
{Plot}
X;

And in the Exploration --Filter tab--I coded

 Fml( "Candlestick Bullish Pattern") =1

Running this exploration across a large number of securities gives no results.

Where am I going wrong?

Can someone help?
