If you don't want to use ACSIL, IMO the Spreadsheet System for Trading study would be best for your automated strategy.

Here are some quick spreadsheet formulas:

Upper wick size:
=C3-MAX(B3,E3)
Lower wick size:
=MIN(B3,E3)-D3
=Candle range:
=C3-D3
Body size:
=ABS(B3-E3)
Upper wick/candle range %:
=(C3-MAX(B3,E3))/(C3-D3)
Lower wick/candle range %:
=(MIN(B3,E3)-D3)/(C3-D3)
-where the OHLC are B3,C3,D3,E3

Enter these formulas in row 3 of a Formula Column to the right of the entry/exit columns (O3 and rightward).

Here are some spreadsheet formula examples:
