{quote} Eaglepip ... Hi, all well? the indicator is how I want. I think can have a sign or other to more. I ask you to let me examine the indicator a few days. That I may see how the arrows signs are real-time data on a graph. Thank you very much jvbs
Hi jvbs,
Here is the version with Single Or Multiple Arrow settings.
Set SOMArrows=True for Reversal Arrows only.

{quote} Eaglepip thank you very much. jvbs
Have now added the option to have either Engulfing Arrows or just Consecutive Bullish/Bearish bar signals.
Set one=true and the other=false. For both they should both=true!
Should make it easier to evaluate performance.

hello all,

I downloaded EaglePip's plugin, I believe I know what jvbs wants, and the enguls are wrong.
Like I said on the first page, here is the code:

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


and here are the proper engulf rules:
We get an engulf long when price closes above the last red bar's open.
We get an engulf short when price closes below the last green bar's open.

cheers,
Aristides.

Hi jvbs

Your specifications are a bit vague, to say the least... I will try to help you, but you will have to be more specific in your requirements. For example, does "swallow" mean "engulf"?

Following some suggestions here, and looking at Aristid's pseudo-code, I coded an indicator. Please check it on a BLANK chart - without other lines and indicators - and post a screenshot with errors and explanation of what is wrong.

Regards

Chris

Tidied up the code, and made it to give a warning only on the newest arrow.

I'm very confused about this thread but I am looking for a similar candlestick alert indicator. I would like to be alerted when a engulfing candle is made or an outside bar is made. Just a pop up alert that shows the pair that is being alerted and what candle it is. Is possible someone has already attached but I'm confused as what the OP was actually looking for. What he described is NOT an engulfing candlestick but an outside bar. Here are the pictures attached of what I am looking for. I would greatly appreciate some help. Thank you



1st attachment is for engulfing bar:
For an engulfing bar the open and close have to be higher and lower than the previous bars open and close.

2nd attachment is for an outside bar:
For an outside bar the high and the low have to be higher and lower than the previous high and low but the open and close could be close together.

I think that most MT4 coders are busy trying to adapt to the new MetaEditor. It may be that coders are unwilling to write code that may or may not work in any of the many updates that are happening now.

I know it's been a few years, but I am looking for something similar to the OP. I'm not sure what your indicator is signaling. Kinda looks like engulfing outside bars? But I do like that the arrows usually indicate the type of setup I keep my eyes open for
I'm not sure why the first candle on the left of this pic has an arrow. Doesn't seem to engulf the previous by body or wicks.

Hi Coders,

need your help to create this kind of indicator. the purpose of this indicator is not for entry signal but for snr.
Condition:
1. Bar no 3 engulf bar no 1 & no 2. Bar
2. Bar 1 and 2 is the same color bar ( bull bull or bear bear)
3. Bar 3 is opposite color. If bar 1 and 2 = BEAR, bar no 3 is BULL
4. Bar no 3 engulf previous 2 bars with tail or without tail (body only). Both conditions valid.
5. bar no 3 will be colored (bull or bear)
see pic for more understanding. many thanks

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? {image} 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
Only 1 candle there is engulfing imho.
