Scan for doji candle x bars back

[ARL]

Greetings! I'd like to have the TOS scan for doji candle that returns results from x bars back. For example, I'd like to see the dojis that printed 2 bars back.
How would the stock script from TOS below look to include this look back function? Thank you for your help.

input length = 20;
input bodyFactor = 0.05;

assert(bodyFactor >= 0, "'body factor' must not be negative: " + bodyFactor);

plot Doji = IsDoji(length, bodyFactor);

Doji.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Doji.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(153, 153, 255));
Doji.SetLineWeight(3);

It will be something like this:

Plot scan = Doji within 3 bars;

Or use the Scan editor and add:

Doji() is true within 3 bars

Hi ARL,

Here is another version of it... the number of days ago is set to 2 by default but can be changed in the inputs.

I did a scan with RecentDoji set to true and minimum price $10 and min volume 100,000 and found 55 stocks with Doji's two bars ago. One of the hits is shown in the chart below.

# Doji_NbarsAgo
# ARL question 4-2-23

input price = close;
input offset = 2;

plot RecentDoji = open[offset] == close[offset];

RecentDoji.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
RecentDoji.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);
RecentDoji.SetLineWeight(4);

Is there a way to add 2 things to the indicator with a watchlist column in mind? Would love for this code to color the doji candlei yellow on the chart AND put up a button that flashes yellow with the word doji if forming in the last candle? And is there any way there can be a watchlist column that flashes yellow when a doji is forming on the last candle?

You can change the color of the doji candle in chart settings.

AND put up a button that flashes yellow with the word doji if forming in the last candle?

For your label on your chart:
You can add this label to the bottom of your script:

AddLabel(open == close, "doji",color.yellow);

And is there any way there can be a watchlist column that flashes yellow when a doji is forming on the last candle?

For your watchlist, add this to the bottom of your watchlist script:

AddLabel(open == close, "doji",color.black);
AssignPriceBackground( if open == close then color.yellow else color.black);
