Formula

RickshawMan(INPUT, CentsDifference=.02)=begin

  retval = NONUM

  targetBar = 0

  rbHigh = RealBodyHigh($1, targetBar)

  tQtr = BodyTopQuarter($1, targetBar)

  bQtr = BodyBottomQuarter($1, targetBar)

 

  if StarForm($1, targetBar) then begin

    if tQtr > rbHigh AND bQtr < rbHigh then retval = 'Rickshaw Man'|clr_gray|below|ftiny|vertical|arrow

  end

  retval

end

 

 

Parameters

INPUT

The INPUT directive makes this formula available as a Formula Overlay. INPUT refers to the instrument in the chart.

 

CentsDifference

Since stocks and many other instruments rarely have identical openings and closings, the CentsDifference parameter provides a way to include candlesticks that are nearly satisfactory.  The default is .02, or two cents.

 

 

Return Value

The string plot for a Rickshaw Man is "Rickshaw Man" rendered in gray below the candlestick.

Comments

This overlay uses a ratio between the high low range and the real body length to determine whether a candlestick is Doji. See LongLeggedDoji  for an alternative method of identifying this pattern.
