  Greetings,
 I am trying to come up with a scan of the 3BP, attributed to Jared Wesley at Livetraders dot com.
 I could not find anything on the various fora, so please allow me to provide the parameters here.  Any assistance would be much appreciated:
 
 (1)  Day #1:  A large candlestick/bar which should be twice the size of a stock's average daily bar and ideally close at the high of the day (little to no wick/tail)
 
 (2)  Increased volume desired but not required.
 
 (3)  Day #2:  The entire bar (high & low included) must be within the top 40% of Day 1's bar and have a relatively equal high as Day 1's bar.
 
 The inverse will also work for short positions, and it is valid on all time frames.
 
 Thanks!

  This might be close to what you want as I did not know how long the average should run.
 I did nothing with volume.

  Thanks, Ed.  It might be tough to get any hits on the long side in light of the current market action.  
 
 I suppose the average trading range would ideally be for the life of the stock, but I should think going back 6-12 months would suffice.
 
 Just so I don't get some stock that has little volume, I arbitrarily thought volume over 500000 shares and a price range of $5-15 would suffice.
 
 I am thinking that finding exact matches of Day #1's and 2's equal closes might be unrealistic, even if it's a penny or two off.  Maybe something like Day 2's close is within 98-102% of Day 1's close. 
 
 The Day #2 low may not exceed 40% of Day #1's candle.  Should the line "high 1 day ago is above Day Position(.60) 2 days ago" need to say "low 1 day ago is...."
 
 Definitely a start....appreciate the help!

  @ mahkoh  - Just a note that in first line of code, "position" is misspelled...fixed on my end.  Thanks again...very helpful!
