Hi guys, I need an engulfing indicator with alert signal

Hi guys ..., I need an indicator with sound signal and arrows to indicate when one happens engolf but the indicator engolf I want is that the signal is given on the closing price of the candle, with the option to choose the timeframme we want to analyze. thank you to whom I can help to make this indicator or find one like this.
Wanted a simple indicator to use, not complicated to use.
thank you in advance
jvbs

I have this in MQL4, but not places or give sound signal in the right place, does anyone know this change for what I need.
This is like in the picture below

thank you in advance

Hi amigo,

See if this helps: http://codebase.mql4.com/ru/source/3243

pipcorn ... good, you have this indicator in EX4 format? Shows a picture of how the indicator is in the graph.

Cumprimentos,
jvbs

186 views and still no one to help me with this indicator?
Por favor alguém pode me ajudar?

Hi,

Try this one call Price Action AHA....it has more than you want and you can select what candle pattern you want alert in different timeframes.

Have fun.

Emmanuel thanks for the indicator that you put yourself here, but does not do what I want this indicator, I could not see him engolf indicate to me as I will, but if there is someone who can altered the indicator for what I want as I have in post # 1.
Thank you very much.
jvbs

jvbs-
here is the .mq4 file drop in your indicators folder and restart.

If that does not do what you want can post a screenshot of what you want. The ones you posted are not clear. Show where the arrows are that are wrong then also show where they should be.

Hi Cyber1 this thy indicator is still not what I want, what I want is like this picture below is showing the engolf in first or at most the second candle with sound signal and arrows, green and red signal.
That's all I want, a simple indicator to use, do not want complicated to use.
I will use the indicator in windows 7
Cyber ​​thank you in advance if you help me.

jvbs-
What are the conditions that will trigger a signal?

You have to realise that you post example charts and point at patterns that are not engulfing candles.
I doubt that anyone understands what you want.
Explain clearly what you want and maybe somebody can help you.

Ie
High of the last closed candle is higher than the previous candle's high and the low of the last closed candle is below the previous candle's low

I hope I can make you understand what I want this time, I want the signal to be given on the closing price of the candle, or do not need that engolf swallow entire previous candle, I just want that counts the body if swallowed it of the candle previous (only swallow the body of the candle above, not the maximum and minimum of the previous candle).
I ask too that someone can help me and if not understood yet what I need to gave it one more chance to try to explain.
thank you very much
jvbs

PS: No need swallowing all candle to give the signal. Can you only swallow the body of the previous candle. have to give the signal to swallow the candle fully and also give the signal you only swallow the body of the previous candle.
You have to give the sound signal and signal arrows you only in these two situations
and must give the signal correctly without flaws
jvbs

Are you using Google translate by any chance?
If I understand you correctly, the shadows of the candle only have to overlap the body of the previous candle
So here, every candle except the first one is engulfing?

But the first candle that you identify as an engulfing in your chart does not appear to have a lower shadow and does not engulf the previous bar by any definition. That is why I am confused about what you need

Hopefully I can make you understand what I want this time

I also ask that someone can help me and if not understand yet I need one more chance to try to explain again.
thank you very much
jvbs

Candle 1 - consider the first candle
Candle 2 - yes at the closing of this candle to give the sound signal and the arrow, 2 candle swallowed the body of candle 1
Candle 3 - here not to give any sign, because the market changes direction but there is no candle body swallowing 2
Candle 4 - Yes the close of this candle to give the sound signal and arrow, 4 candle swallowed the body of the candle 3
Candle 5 - here not to give any sign, the market does not change direction
Candle 6 - Yes the close of this candle to give the sound signal and the arrow, 6 candle swallowed the body of the candle 5
Candle 7 - here not to give any sign, because the market changes direction but there is no candle body swallowing 6
Candle 8 - here not to give any sign, because the market changes direction but there is no candle body swallowing 7
Candle 9 - Yes the close of this candle to give the sound signal and the arrow, 9 candle swallowed the body of candle 8
Candle 10 - Yes the close of this candle to give the sound signal and the arrow, candle 10 swallowed the body of 9
Candle 11 - here not to give any sign, because the market changes direction but there is no candle body swallowing 10
Candle 12 - Yes the close of this candle to give the sound signal and the arrow, candle 9 swallowed the candle body 11

Note: The indicator have to have the option to choose what time we want to analyze and be compatible with windows 7

Hallo,


How do I know that the job is done?
Where are others completed jobs. We could try that.

Kind regards,

Mizan Sharif

I still have no idea what you mean, you seem to contradict yourself
You need to explain precisely what you mean by swallowing/engulfing.
In that diagram, the range of every single candle covered the body of the previous candle.

Examples are no good on their own, you need to give a full specification, why is 7 a different case to 10 ? your examples don't tell me this . . . where is your full specification that does tell me ?

Maybe if you could describe in terms of OPEN, Close, High, Low, it would be easier to explain.
For example:
UP Arrow if:
1. Close2-Open2 >(greater than) Close1-Open1 OR
2. High2-Low2 > Close1-Open 1
3. Close2-Open2 >Close1-Open1 AND Close2 > Close1 etc.
Note: Close1 being previous candle, Close2 being most recent candle.

Hello all,

I think I know what jvbs wants, I have it working on tradestation but I dont know mql4 (yet).

this pseudocode should be good for a programmer:

If c[1]>o[1] then prev_up_o=o[1];
If c[1]<o[1] then prev_d_o=o[1];
if c>prev_d_o then bearish;
if c<prev_up_o then bullish;

c[1] is previous bar close
c is current bar close

cheers,
Aristides.

Hi JVBS, please I am a novice fx trader..I have tried to add alerts to the indicator attached below but I can't..
The indicator displays a green arrow for buy signal after the closing of a bar and a red arrow for sell signal after the closing of a bar..
Please can you help me add an audio alert whenever a new signal is generated.... and will it be possible to choose a particular audio file on my pc for the alert ??? THANKSSS !!!!
