Kevin: I have seen hammer and morning star scans, but they were written by others. I'll leave it to them to post them if they want. Brooke

Here ya go!!! .............. output ="hammer.lst"; Float BODY, UPPER, LOWER; Integer X; X := 0; BODY := Abs(Open(X) - Close(X)); if (BODY = 0) then BODY := .01; endif; if Close(X) >= Open(X) then UPPER := High(X) - Close(X); LOWER := Open(X) - Low(X); else UPPER := High(X) - Open(X); LOWER := Close(X) - Low(X); endif; if ((downgap(X) >= .01) & (AvgVol(X,X-29) > 25000) & ((UPPER/BODY) <= .05) & (LOWER >= (BODY*2)) & (MovAvg(X,5,cl) < MovAvg(X-1,5,cl)) & (MovAvg(X-1,5,cl) < MovAvg(X-2,5,cl))) then println symbol,",",Close(X),", ",Vol(X),", ",AvgVol(X,-29); endif; ........... This scan searches for hammer that have a gap down, which limits the number of hits greatly, but makes a better signal. If you take out " (downgap(X) >= .01) & " then the down gap will not be neccesary. Rusty

Kevin, I think Brooke was referring to me. Here you go. INPUT="Your List.lst"; Output="0 Hammer.lst"; ProcessMS = "d:\meta\Hammer\",VMS; set CCI = 13; integer i, bar; bar:= 0; For i = 0 to bar step -1 do If //close(i-1)<open(i-1) and //Black Candle yesterday low(i)<low(i-1) and //1st part of hammer formation open(i)=>low(i)+range(i).50 and //Lower shadow close(i)=>low(i)+range(i).50 and close(i)< close(i-2) //high(i)=open(i) //shaved head - is very restrictive //high(i)=close(i) //will produce white day hammers then println symbol; i:= bar; endif; As you can see from the // I play around with it some. <g> You may want to change it to fit your tastes. One thing is this scan will not necessarily insure that it is produced after a downtrend. Also, sometimes I will require the volume be 1.5 - 2 times the 30 day average volume. One more thing, you can play around with the "range*.50" lines and change the lower shadow and/or real body produced. Monty PS Just send along any improvements. <g>

Kevin , here is my Morning Star Scan. input="Your List.lst"; Output="0 Morning Star.lst"; ProcessMS = "d:\meta\Morning Star\",VMS; integer bar, N, X, MinPr; float Y; //% variable N:= -90; //define N days to look back X:= .25; //define $ amount of gap Y:= .01; //define % of gap For bar = -1 to N step -1 Do If Downgap(bar) > X and Downgap(bar)/Low(bar-1)> Y and Close(bar)> 5 and Upgap(bar+1) > X and Close(bar+1)> Open(bar+1) then println symbol,",",Close(0):0:2,",",High(bar)-Low(bar-1):0:2,",",date(bar),",",Downgap(bar)/Low(bar-1)*100:0:1,",",vol(bar); endif; next bar;
