Candlestick Body Strength/Height

Focus

Member
Is possible to create an indicator that tells the strength of a candles body with four options to select the strength/height? Wicks can be an option where it can be turned on/off.
Example: There are 10 candlesticks. 2 bullish candles of open and close is 2%, 6%, and two bearish candles open and close is 7% and 9% strength,
or two bullish candle open and close height is 2, 6 , height of two bearish candle open and close is 7, and 9. I saw a code here https://usethinkscript.com/threads/candlestick-wick-quality-for-thinkorswim.7111/#post-68654 which shows the height but there
are no options to choose specific ones that I want. Attached are the images of how it looks on a chart. The first image is how would like it to look on the chart ad the second image is from the code "Candlestick Wick Quality" I saw here.

sorry, i'm confused,

"2 bullish candles of open and close is 2%, 6%, "
2% of what? what are you comparing to what?
open and close ? do you mean candle body height?

do you want to find when the body height is less than 2% of total candle height? that is pretty small.

what do you want to see on the chart?

I used 2% and 6% as an example. I want to find the body height, however, I would like it to have the option where I can changed the number on the body height whenever I want Like in the image attached.
