can someone look at this filter builder and tell me what i need to change. I got this from the public filter list. it is almost what i am looking for, but the writer of this filter wants the candle to have a very close open and close. I do not want the tight open and close criteria because it seems to limit the results too much. I care about the tail being very long. every time i change something it messes up the entire results so please help:

set{body_bottom,min(open,close)}
set{body_top,max(open,close)}
set{lshadowsize, body_bottom - low}
set{tshadowsize, high - body_top}
set{body_size, body_top - body_bottom}
set{body_size2, body_size * 2}
show stocks where tshadowsize is more than 3
and lshadowsize > body_size2
close above 5

First of all, the above filter seems more like an "inverted hammer" than a true hammer to me. Whatever the case, here's a simpler version:

Fetcher[
set{tail, min(open, close) - low}
set{range, tail / day point range}
range above 0.66
close below low 1 day ago
price above 5
]


I get 59 matches as of today (09/30). Is that too limiting?

...this sounded like a simple request ...until the results don't quite look at what you'd expect. More of a challenge then I expected...before I enter in too many of my biases I thought I'd post it ....not exactly what you are looking for ,,,but perhaps will get some neurons to fire... some interesting results !

Fetcher[
set{body_bottom,min(open,close)}
set{body_top,max(open,close)}
set{body_size,body_top - body_bottom}
set{lshadowsize, body_bottom - low}
/* *********** had a typo here ********* */
set{body_size2, body_size * 2}
set{tshadowsize, high - body_top}
lshadowsize is greater then .2
and lshadowsize is greater then body_size2
and body_size is greater then 0
and price is greater then .5
and open is less then Lower Bollinger Band(20)
and close is greater then open
and offset 0 days ago
