Here's a bullish belt hold, which is defined as a white candlestick with no lower shadow and a close near the day’s high.

Fetcher[
set{oplo,open / low}
set{range, opcl / day point range}
range above 0.90
oplo equals 1
sign(opcl) equals 1
sign(opcl) 1 day ago equals -1
]

According to candlestick gurus, however, the Belt Hold isn't very reliable since it occurs fairly often. You also need to note the overall trend, not to mention a confirmation won the following day.

You are above my head on the information you posted. I need examples, then I can change it to what I am looking for. I have downloaded the book and spent a lot of time trying to digest it. I am still very limited on my ability to write a filter. I do have several filters that are working fair.

You might want to take a look here for a better explanation on set statements.

Thanks for the replies I have gotten. I am still confused. If someone would tell me the pages in the book I think it would give me the details I need. I don't know where to start when I see set(oplo,open/low)opci plunge oplo sign (opcl) I am not a programer so I need it spelled out before me. Another thing I am having trouble with is stockfetcher does not tell me if what I am entering is wrong. I have no way of knowing what it is reading and not reading.

Thanks again
