This indicator helps traders spot certain patterns on a price chart that might indicate a change in price direction. These patterns are known as "engulfing patterns."
How It Works1. Bullish Engulfing Patterns:- The current bar (or candle) closes higher than it opens (it's a green or white candle).- The previous bar closed lower than it opened (it was a red or black candle).- The current bar's high is higher than the previous bar's high, and its low is lower than the previous bar's low.- There's another variation where both the current and previous bars are green, but the current bar is still higher and lower than the previous one.
2. Bearish Engulfing Patterns:- The current bar closes lower than it opens (it's a red or black candle).- The previous bar closed higher than it opened (it was a green or white candle).- The current bar's low is lower than the previous bar's low, and its high is higher than the previous bar's high.- There's another variation where both the current and previous bars are red, but the current bar is still higher and lower than the previous one.
What It Shows-
When the indicator spots one of these patterns, it colors the previous candle:- Yellow for a bullish pattern (price might go up).- Pink for a bearish pattern (price might go down).
Alerts- The indicator can also send an alert to let you know when it finds one of these patterns, so you don't miss it.
