any doji bar with long wick/tail is v turn formation, just look up candlestick doji bar.

V's happen almost everyday on the emini, i'm not much of a coder but if i was to code this i would keep with the overall trend and lately we have been making a sharp move down to support then right back up as @cory said you could either code it for a large doji the 5 min charts usually has a few or look for a large obvious bullish engulfing candle and then buy the 50%, the second if what i like to do. Also a lot of the time we have a sharp move down then a correction that doesn't come back more the 25ish% then we have another move down that creates a HL (higher low) this for me is the perfect buying time.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies so far.I trader breakouts mostly and wrote a strategy that trades the breaks of the High/Low of the day(with some filters for entries), but that V`s are spoiling the wgole picture.The V`s just hitting my stops and moving in my direction.

I`m not accounting for individual bars or any bar combinations for that matter, hence ignore all dojis or engulfings.
