Wick high average

Hi,

ok here is the latest;

I added few more conditions and I checked it, it seems to work fine.

Condition 1 determines if the range is at least twice the body
Condition 2 determines if the body is located either at top 3rd or bottom 3rd of the range.
condition 3 determines if bar 3 and bar 2(pinbar) are opposite directions(e.g. I want to see a decline of at least 1 bar before a bullish pinbar)
condition 4 determines if bar 2(pinbar) and bar 1(last closed bar) are in the same direction.

}

Never mind,

The first script does not properly determine if the bar is bullish or bearish pinbar.

I wrote the following it is more concise and I think it does the job properly.
I did not add the other conditions yet.
