Hello pals,
I have attached an indicator that I've found here.It does a great job but not as i want.I am talking about engulfing pattern.It recognizes the standard engulfing pattern,but i want it more simple,i want a modification of the current engulfing alert or add on if you can that will alert when the current candle closes above/below the previous up/down candle.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hello,
Maybe I can help, please check attachment, compiled modified version of your previous indicator above.
I have modiy the Bearish/Bullish engulfing to alert only whenever the close candle is Lower/Higher than the Low/High of previous candle.

I guess that arofat would like you to email and send some money . . . or . . . you could just wait a few mins, I'm almost finished testing
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

Hi,

please try the attached, there is a new set of parameters at the bottom of the list for engulfing (regardless of bull or bear), let me know if it's what you expected, my definition of engulfing bars is a little different, I have tried to make it fit what I think timos was looking for.

Thanks. My definition of engulfing bars is based on open-close which should engulf the open-close of the previous bar.
Using high-low instead makes it outside bars, that is how I define it. Very few ( hardly any) engulfing bar signals from the indi tho!

The code makes decisions based on the 4th digit and rounds the values to the 4th digit, so even if a bar is engulfing based on the 5th digits it may not be marked . . . not how I would have done it but thats how it is coded in all the rest of the code so I continued the same philosophy with my mod.
