So, I created an indicator that shows the upper and lower wick size as a percentage of the bar's range. So, now, if I want to specify a wick that's greater than 50% of the bar's range, I can just look for instances where the indicator values are UpperWick > 50 or LowerWick < -50.
If you find looking for negative numbers cumbersome, edit the indicator and reverse the LowerWick calculations, from either (Low[0] - Open[0]) or (Low[0] - Close[0]) to (Open[0] - Low[0]) or (Close[0] - Low[0]), respectively. Then, all the histogram bars will point upwards and you can make your code always look for positive values.
I hope some of you find this indicator handy.
I neglected to account for instances where Range() is zero, so the original indicator sometimes stops working. This newer version corrects that problem.
