 can someone look at this filter builder and tell me what i need to change.  I got this from the public filter list.  it is almost what i am looking for, but the writer of this filter wants the candle to have a very close open and close.  I do not want the tight open and close criteria  because it seems to limit the results too much.   I care about the tail being very long.  every time i change something it messes up the entire results so please help:
 
 set{body_bottom,min(open,close)}
 set{body_top,max(open,close)}
 set{lshadowsize, body_bottom - low}
 set{tshadowsize, high - body_top}
 set{body_size, body_top - body_bottom}
 set{body_size2, body_size * 2}
 show stocks where tshadowsize is more than 3
 and lshadowsize > body_size2
 close above 5

 First of all, the above filter seems more like an "inverted hammer" than a true hammer to me. Whatever the case, here's a simpler version:
 
 
 
 I get 59 matches as of today (09/30). Is that too limiting?

 ...this sounded like a simple request ...until the results don't quite look at what you'd expect.  More of a challenge then I expected...before I enter in too many of my biases I thought I'd post it ....not exactly what you are looking for ,,,but perhaps will get some neurons to fire... some interesting results !
