Hi, This formula should be so easy to construct yet after 2 hours I still haven't figured how to do it. All I want is to know whether the close of any of the next 8 bars following a bullish candle is greater than the close of that bullish candle. Simple but I must have a mental block. I tried this formula Ref(C,8) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,7) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,6) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,5) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,4) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,3) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,2) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 OR Ref(C,1) >= ValueWhen(1,Fml("CANDLE ENGULFING BULLISH"),C)*1.02 Doesn't seem to plot properly Cheers Norman

Hi Wabbit, That helps. Thanks for that! Cheers Norman
