Is it possible to create a script based on double topping tails

Solution
As per Oliver Valez video is this possible to create, perhaps a bubble or line

yes

a bubble where? and displays what?
if a line , from where to where?

can find 2 long tail bars. just have to define the limits on the ratios of,
. top wick to bottom wick
..bodyheight to long wick


this could be modified as a starting point... looking at that study, those formulas are too complicated, i will see about making up something

identify pin bars and tail bars

when a pin bar or tail bar is found, a bubble is drawn, with a P or T in it.
if 2 bulls or 2 bears are in a row, then a vertical line is drawn.

i searched a little but didn't find any definite formulas. so i measured a few candles and came up with some ratios.
formulas are based on the ratios of long wick and short wick heights to the body height.

ratios, a wick to body
input pin_shortwick_lower_rng = 0.0;
input pin_shortwick_upper_rng = 1.0;
input pin_longwick_min = 1.9;

if bodyheight is 0, or a wick is 0, then it assigns 0.5 x ticksize as height.

pin bar and tail bars identified
2 in a row has a vertical line

i measured some candles, put the numbers into excel, and came up with the ratios. then guessed at some number ranges.
