dd,
If I understand correctly you're just looking for a daily candle/bar that closes ABOVE yesterday's Close...but closes BELOW it's Opening Price. That shouldn't be that difficult.
For example:
--------------------
That should give you some "red hollow candlestick stocks".

maxreturn,
With all due respect, I don't think your filter will return the type candle (ie. "red hollow candlestick") that dd was looking for.
But, maybe I'm mistaken. I guess dd will have to make that determination. :)

Rey Ralf (astro talk :)....I only submitted my solution after taking a look at a sampling 3-4 of stocks returned by your filter. They were all black filled candlesticks. Mine returned red hollow candlesticks...with a few exceptions where the close was barely above the open.

I can't sit back and watch this.....
There two types of candlesticks filled and hollow.
Filled candlesticks are those in which the closing price of the candle’s period is lower than the opening price (close below open), indicating price weakness during the period.
In contrast, ddfridd is lookign for a hollow candlestick which is one whose closing price is greater than its opening price (close above open). Often, these are graphically represented as black and white, respectively.
Now SF will shade the candle red if today's close is below yesterdays close (close below close 1 day ago)
so as maxreturn says
give "hollow red" candles. Some times on the chart the candle will look solid when it is a narrow trading day. This is a SF resolution problem.
This filter on the other hand should yield black solid candles.
Hope that helps,
Yepher

Sorry, yepher !
With all due respect, and I truly mean that.
You're wrong too !
It IS as I originally stated.
The "red outline" describes a candle that has closed lower than it opened...but, yet closed higher than the previous close.
My charting program (Prophet) does NOT display them that way (as many do not) but some do (SF's Flash). The description I gave and the filter i wrote IS the correct filter as I understood dd to request.
Thanks.
