Need help working on close strong code :
define close strong as close 30% of the direction ( like green candle close 30% of the top area of the candle High to Low)
I'm looking to scan close green candle.
A = 30% of candle or less, and B is 70% or more.

so maybe some help on continuation of the code to scan out the result

Code:
#close green strong
def US = absvalue(high-close) # upper shadow
def RBLS = absvalue(close-low) #realbody+lowershadow
def candleHL = (high-low) #Highlow

input UStoRBLSratio= 30/70; #CloseGreenRatio


Code:
#close red strong

def candleHL = (high-low) #Highlow
def RBUS = absvalue(high-close) #realbody+uppershadow
def LS = absvalue(close-low) #lowershadow

input LStoRBUSratio = 30/70; #closeRedRatio

this will look for up and down bars that have a close within a % of the height boundry.

Code:
input close_percent = 30;
def ht = high-close;
def up = close > open;
def dwn = close < open;

def up_per = 100 * (high - close)/ht;
def dwn_per = 100 * (close - low)/ht;

def isup = if !up then 0 else (up_per <= close_percent);
def isdwn = if !dwn then 0 else (dwn_per <= close_percent);

plot z = isup or isdwn;
