Ruby:
# "Takuri Line"  (2) prior DOWN candles Then a Takuri Candle. A small bodied candle with a lower shadow that is at least 3x the height of the body and little or no upper shadow.

# Chat Room Discussion 07.10.2018
# Name the Study "Takuri_Line"
# The Scan Code is:  close crosses Takuri_Line()

input TrendLength = 2;

def o = open;
def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
def x = barNumber();
def nan = double.nan;
def TakuriTrendDn = IsDescending(c, TrendLength)[1];
def BodyHeight = AbsValue(c - o);
def CandleRange = h - l;
def Shadow = Min(c, o) - l;
def Wick = h - Max(c, o);
def TakuriDn = if TakuriTrendDn and
                  BodyHeight / CandleRange <= .033 and
                  Shadow / CandleRange >= .7 and
                  Wick / CandleRange <= .25
               then h
               else TakuriDn[1];
def TakuriDnX = if h == TakuriDn
                then x
                else nan;
plot TakuriLine = if x >= HighestAll(TakuriDnX)
                  then HighestAll(if isNaN(c[-1])
                                  then TakuriDn
                                  else nan)

# End Code

Is there a way to scan for just the candle? I have tried deleting parts of the code and cant get it to work.... I know it needs the trend and confluence- but I'd like to scan for the candle as described in this code.
