Try this, just copy and paste into a new indicator file and then compile.
Edit: I compiled and attached the file.

//****************************
input double Threshold=5; // Wick Percentage of Body
datetime lastBarTime;

int init(){
lastBarTime=iTime(Symbol(),Period(),0);
return(0);}

int start(){
if(lastBarTime!=iTime(Symbol(),Period(),0)){
lastBarTime=iTime(Symbol(),Period(),0);

if(Close[1]<Open[1])
if(((Close[1]-Low[1])/(Open[1]-Close[1]))<=(Threshold/100)){Alert("Wick size smaller than ",Threshold);}

if(Close[1]>Open[1])
if(((High[1]-Close[1])/(Close[1]-Open[1]))<=(Threshold/100)){Alert("Wick size smaller than ",Threshold);}}

return(0);}

I can add a graphic but it is always the most recently closed candle.

I've tested a lot of indicators and in general i dont like them, every now and then ill give another a shot but mostly trade naked now. Power candles can be very good though so im gonna monitor them.

Many indicators are good. We just need to spend some time with them and find the ones we are comfortable with. After which we still continue to spend enough time with ones we choose and see the good and bad side of them

I use this indicator for comparison Indicator (link from this forum). Acording to the developer > This indicator displays each currency power (0-7) on each candle.
Power of the first currency in the symbol name displays above the candle, while Power of the second currency displays below the candle.
A power of 7 means the currency is UP against all other 7 currencies.

Hey beerrun, hope you're well and thanks for this. I was wondering if you could help with modifying this a bit. I want this indi to plot a dot/star on all candles that have body height/candle height ratio greater than 50%.
Doesn't seem very different to what this is. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

guys i am really sorry for this but i cannot post my own thread, can someone tell me where i can get an indicator that does this ( see the picture )
I mean, it should paint de candles in green when histo is green and blue line is above signal line and red when the histo is red and signal is above blue line, the rest should be black.

Tried all the indis i could find on the internet but cant get the hang of this.

Sorry if this is not the right place to post, but im new here.

Thanks guys!
