Engulfing Candle
Engulfing Candle with Streaks and CountIdentifies Engulfing Candles + The Number of Consecutive Signals + Identifies 3rd/4th Consecutive Signals + Keeps Count of Most Recent Number of Signals as Decided by User.
- Have coded in the latest version 6
- This script allows the tracking of engulfing candles over a user defined amount of time (candles).
- The script will signal every engulfing candle and its consecutive corresponding number across the entire chart.
- The Engulfing Count box in the bottom right counts how many bullish and bearish engulfing candles have occurred over the number decided by the user.
- The Engulfing Signal that prints is triggered when an opposite next candle prints and the body is over 100% larger than the previous candle. It does not need to "fully engulf" the previous candle, the coding has an allowance for an "equal to and greater/smaller than" the previous close price. This allows for signals were the open of the engulfing candle can be equal to the close of the previous opposite, however the engulfing still must reach an over 100% sizing of the previous to print a signal.
- Where a piercing candle occurs and the open price is within the body of the previous candle, this will void the equation and no matter how big the candle is, it will not trigger an engulfing signal as I was only looking for true engulfing candles.
- The script keeps count of the same consecutive signals no matter the timeframe.
- It will print the consecutive number above or below the signal (depending if bullish or bearish).
- To assist with trend identification the 3rd consecutive signal will print blue, and the 4th consecutive signal will print yellow (or I prefer to use the term "Gold"). This can help filter out the noise on lower timeframes to assist to see where the momentum is going, or if there are signals going against the trend to try trick traders.
- Back testing I found the 3rd and 4th signals are uncommon on higher timeframes and tend to act as fake-outs before the trend reverses.
- Overall a good tool to add to your trend analysis, either for additional confluence or to assist with reversal identification.
- Colors are set as default, but everything can be changed by the user as I didn't want to limit its possibilities.
*** Please note that this script does not take into any consideration candle wicks. Although it can be used with Heikin Ashi it is somewhat unreliable. This indicator is designed to be used with standard candles only ***

Sweep Engulf CHoCH📖 Indicator Overview
The Sweep Engulf CHoCH indicator is designed to detect the Sweep + Engulf + CHoCH (Change of Character) pattern on price charts. This indicator helps traders identify bullish and bearish entry opportunities based on the last three candles forming this pattern.
📊 How the Indicator Works
The indicator analyzes specific conditions in the last three candles:
🔹 Bullish Entry (Buy Signal)
✔️ Candle 1 must be bearish (close < open )
✔️ Candle 2 must sweep the low of candle 1 (low < low )
✔️ Candle 2 must also engulf candle 1 (close > close )
✔️ Candle 3 must break structure (CHoCH) by closing above the open of candle 1 (close > open )
🔻 Bearish Entry (Sell Signal)
✔️ Candle 1 must be bullish (close > open )
✔️ Candle 2 must sweep the high of candle 1 (high > high )
✔️ Candle 2 must also engulf candle 1 (close < open )
✔️ Candle 3 must break structure (CHoCH) by closing below the open of candle 1 (close < open )
Sweep Engulf 2 Candle🔍 Overview:
This script identifies Bullish Engulfing and Bearish Engulfing candlestick patterns on the chart. These formations are widely used in technical analysis to spot potential reversals in price action. The indicator helps traders quickly identify these patterns by marking them directly on the chart with small arrows.

📌 Notes:
This indicator is best used in combination with other technical analysis tools like support & resistance levels, trendlines, or volume analysis.
It works on all timeframes and asset
Engulfing Candles (ATR-Based)This indicator detects Engulfing Patterns with an ATR-based filtering mechanism and trend confirmation. Unlike a basic engulfing pattern indicator that only checks if a current candle engulfs the previous one, this script incorporates trend detection using either the 50-period SMA alone or a combination of 50 and 200-period SMAs to ensure that signals align with the broader trend. The indicator identifies Bullish Engulfing patterns when a strong bullish candle engulfs a smaller bearish candle in a downtrend and Bearish Engulfing patterns when a strong bearish candle engulfs a smaller bullish candle in an uptrend. It also generates alerts and visually marks these patterns with labels ("BU" for bullish and "BE" for bearish) while highlighting the background accordingly.
What sets this indicator apart from a normal engulfing indicator is its ATR-based filtering system, which ensures that only significant engulfing candles are considered. Instead of accepting any engulfing pattern, the script measures candle body size relative to 1.5x ATR (configurable) to filter out weak signals. It also differentiates between long-bodied and small-bodied candles to confirm that the engulfing pattern represents real momentum shifts. This approach reduces false signals caused by small, insignificant candles and ensures that traders focus on high-probability reversal patterns. By integrating trend-based filtering and ATR-based confirmation, this indicator provides more reliable and context-aware engulfing signals than a standard engulfing pattern detector.
CHAKRA RISS ENGULFING CANDLESTICK STRATEGYChakra RISS Engulfing Candlestick Strategy
Type: Technical Indicator & Strategy
Platform: TradingView
Script Version: Pine Script v6
Overview:
The Chakra RISS Engulfing Candlestick Strategy combines a momentum-based approach using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with Engulfing Candlestick Patterns to generate buy and sell signals. The strategy filters trades based on price movement relative to a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), making it a trend-following strategy.
The indicator uses color-coded bars to visually represent market conditions, helping traders easily identify bullish and bearish trends. The strategy is designed to be dynamic, adapting to changing market conditions and filtering out noise using key technical indicators.
How It Works:
RSI-Based Color Conditions:
Green Bars: When the RSI crosses above a specified UpLevel (default: 50), indicating a bullish momentum and signaling potential buy conditions.
Red Bars: When the RSI crosses below a specified DownLevel (default: 50), indicating a bearish momentum and signaling potential sell conditions.
Buy Signal:
Triggered when the following conditions are met:
RSI crosses from below the UpLevel (default: 50) to above it, signaling increasing bullish momentum.
The close price is above the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), confirming an uptrend.
The Buy Signal is plotted below the bar with a green arrow and a "BUY" label.
Sell Signal:
Triggered when the following conditions are met:
RSI crosses from above the DownLevel (default: 50) to below it, signaling increasing bearish momentum.
The close price is below the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), confirming a downtrend.
The Sell Signal is plotted above the bar with a red arrow and a "SELL" label.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
For long trades (buy signals), the stop loss is placed below the previous bar's low, and the take profit is set at 3% above the entry price.
For short trades (sell signals), the stop loss is placed above the previous bar's high, and the take profit is set at 3% below the entry price.
Dynamic Bar Coloring:
The bar colors change dynamically based on RSI levels:
Green Bars: Indicating a potential uptrend (bullish).
Red Bars: Indicating a potential downtrend (bearish).
These visual cues help traders quickly identify market trends and potential reversals.
Trend Filtering:
The 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used to filter trades based on the overall market trend:
Buy signals are only considered when the price is above the moving average, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals are only considered when the price is below the moving average, indicating a downtrend.
Alerting System:
Alerts can be set for both buy and sell signals. These alerts notify traders in real-time when potential trades are generated, allowing them to act promptly.
Alerts can be configured to send notifications through email, SMS, or a webhook for integration with other services like IFTTT or Zapier.
Key Features:
RSI and Moving Average-Based Signals: Combines RSI with a moving average for more accurate trade signals.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: Dynamic risk management with custom stop loss and take profit levels based on previous high and low prices.
Buy and Sell Alerts: Provides real-time alerts when a buy or sell signal is triggered.
Trend Confirmation: Uses the 50-period Simple Moving Average to filter signals and confirm the direction of the trend.
Visual Bar Color Changes: Makes it easy to identify bullish or bearish trends with color-coded bars.
Usage:
This strategy is suitable for traders who prefer a trend-following approach and want to combine momentum indicators (RSI) with price action (Engulfing Candlestick patterns). It is particularly useful in volatile markets where quick identification of trend changes can lead to profitable trades.
Best Used For: Day trading, swing trading, and trend-following strategies.
Timeframes: Works well on various timeframes, from 1-minute charts for scalping to daily charts for swing trading.
Markets: Can be applied to any market with sufficient liquidity (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.).
Settings:
UpLevel: The RSI level above which the market is considered bullish (default: 50).
DownLevel: The RSI level below which the market is considered bearish (default: 50).
SMA Length: The period of the Simple Moving Average used to filter trades (default: 50).
Risk Management: Customizable stop loss and take profit settings based on price action (default: 3% above/below the entry price).

Magic Candles PRO [MW]The Magic Candles indicator provides users with low risk/high reward entries on small candles with big volume. It uses calculations that uniquely define high volume/low price movement (volume hammer) candles and engulfing pattern candles. In theory, measuring a volume hammer candle seems relatively simple, but it is in the definition of high and low with respect to volume and price movement, and with respect to each other that requires a novel method of defining the relationship. The definition that is ultimately used gives users the ability to identify candles that typically precede large price movements, because the volume necessary to drive the price exists by definition even though it is not reflected in the size of the current candle.
Similarly, engulfing candle patterns are useful because they show an acceleration of price movement from the previous candle. The difficulty in calculating engulfing candles, as with volume hammer candles, is in the interpretation of candle size, or “engulfing”. In many cases, engulfing simply means that a candle has reversed direction from the previous candle, and the body of the previous candle sits between the open and close of the new candle. Sometimes wicks are used, sometimes they aren’t. Our differentiation is that we allow the user to change “engulfing” to their preference, so that it can include candle bodies, full candles, dojis, and candle patterns where the body of the previous candle is not necessarily in between the open and close of the new candle. It also uses a double stochastic calculation on ATRs that filter out engulfing candles that may not be as meaningful.
Settings
Volume Hammer Candles
ATR Period: The ATR period that is used to compare the candle size against. (Default: 5)
Candle Portion to Use: The candle size can be defined as just the body, or the entire candle. (Default: Candle Body)
Volume Absorption Threshold: The threshold for the volume ratio relative to the candle size ratio. (Default: 4.5)
Volume ATR Period: The ATR period that is used to compare the volume against. (Default: 3)
3 Consecutive Volume increases and 3 Bullish Candles: (Default: ON)
3 Consecutive Volume Increases and 3 Bearish Candles: (Default: ON)
2 Consecutive Volume increases Prior to Current Candle: (Default: ON)
Engulfing Pattern Candles
Show Engulfing Candles: (Default: ON)
Include Candle Wicks in Calculation: (Default: ON)
Show Bullish Candles: (Default: ON)
Show Bearish Candles: (Default: ON)
Use Dojis for Reversed Candles: Typically engulfing candles are compared against candles that are in the opposite direction of the new candle. However, dojis, or candles with small candle bodies and relatively large wicks, can be optionally used to measure against. (Default: OFF)
ATR Period 1: We use 2 levels of stochastic calculation to compare against in order to determine if an engulfing candle is valid. This is the shorter period ATR. (Default: 14)
ATR Period 2: The 2nd of 2 ATR periods used in a 2-level stochastic calculation that’s used to evaluate valid engulfing candles. (Default: 21)
Stochastic Period: The Stochastic Period used for both levels of ATR calculations. (Default: 14)
Smoothing: The period used to “smooth” the stochastic curves. (Default: 3)
Calculations
This indicator uses a comparison between relative volume (raw volume compared to its average true range) and relative price action as determined by candle size (specifically, candle size compared to the average true range of the candle size). The ratio between the relative volume and relative price action are compared as a ratio. Once that ratio hits a defined threshold a signal is generated in the form of a bright yellow bar, which we refer to as a “volume hammer”, because of the heavy volume acting on an unmoving object (price).
The indicator also identifies engulfing candle patterns by
Determining the candle body size or full candle size.
Checking to see if there was a reversal of direction, or checking to see if the first candle was a doji (small body with relatively large wicks).
Calculating the stochastic ATR patterns across two periods in order to normalize the ATR behavior for comparison.
Calculating the delta between those stochastic ATRs
Calculating the stochastic patterns of the delta between the stochastic ATRs to add further sensitivity to the comparison between candles.
How to Use
Volume Hammer
When a bright yellow bar appears in the lower window it means that the ratio of relative volume to relative price movement is very high, which indicates that a volatile move will occur within the next candle or so. In this scenario using a small risk that is not much larger than the candle itself can be paired with a large reward/risk ratio when setting a take profit target.
For example, if the body of a candle has a range of less than $0.02 and the full candle is less than $0.10 in range, then a $0.10 stop can be used with the expectation that the large volume will generate a volatile move in one direction or the other. The expected move is generally 3x the size of the full candle, but typically more.
Sometimes, however, that 3x move will reverse and turn into even a larger move in the opposite direction if a key support or resistance level is hit. So, it is very useful to use this indicator with a tool that can identify key support/demand zones and resistance/supply zones such as the Magic Order Blocks or QQQ and SPY Price Levels for equities based on the NASDAQ and S&P 500. It can also be combined with indicators that provide upper and lower bounds like Magic Linear Regression Channel , ATR Bands (Keltner Channel) Wick and SRSI Signals , and/or Bollinger Band Wick and SRSI Signals .
Additionally, the bright yellow candles have color-coded indicators that reflect the behavior of preceding volume behavior.
- Orange Dot - 3 consecutive candles of increasing volume
- Green Dot - 3 consecutive candles of increasing volume with a bullish candle pattern
- Red Dot - 3 consecutive candles of increasing volume with a bearish candle pattern
- Blue Dot - 2 consecutive candles of increasing volume followed by a candle with volume that is greater than the starting candle.
These only reflect the volume and candle pattern. They can provide insight, but should not be used as buy or sell signals, especially when encountered at key price levels.
Engulfing Candle Pattern
Frequently, the bright yellow bar in the lower window will be followed by an engulfing candle in the main chart. Engulfing candle patterns can themselves be useful on their own in a market that is not highly volatile. They tend to be indicative of price reversals, or trend continuations following consolidation. Following an engulfing candle, risk can be set at the “far end” of the candle with the expectation that if it does accurately define the direction, then the price will be less likely to go back to the candle’s starting price.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
Occasionally a large gray bar will appear that is above the relative volume to relative candle size threshold. This indicates that although there is little price movement when compared to the volume, the actual volume is trailing off. This could lead to a quick move in a bullish or bearish direction, but it potentially would not be as sustained as in the case where volume has been consistently rising.
There are also faded yellow bars that appear when volume is increasing when the relative price movement is small. However, when the ratio of the relative volume is not large enough when compared to the price movement (i.e. it does not meet the threshold requirement) its color remains a dim yellow color.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.

This script can serve traders on multiple timeframes, from daily to weekly and beyond. The flexible configuration allows for adjustments in VWAP anchoring and pin bar criteria, providing a tailored fit for individual trading strategies.
Engulfing Pattern & Impulse [UAlgo]The Engulfing Pattern & Impulse is a tool designed for technical traders who utilize price action and volume analysis to assess market trends and potential reversals. This indicator identifies two powerful trading signals: Engulfing Patterns and Volume Impulses, which are essential components for evaluating potential bullish or bearish market momentum.
Engulfing Patterns are classic candlestick formations often associated with reversals or trend continuations, depending on the overall trend context. This indicator highlights both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns based on configurable criteria such as trend detection settings, comparison with average body size, and a customizable body multiplier for validation. The Volume Impulse feature signals moments of significant volume compared to historical levels, which often precede substantial price movements. Together, these features provide traders with a versatile tool for better timing entry and exit points.
The indicator also offers an adaptive trend detection system, allowing traders to choose from multiple methods (e.g., SMA50 or SMA50/SMA200 combinations) to assess the trend context, making it ideal for various market conditions.
🔶Key Features
Engulfing Pattern Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with customizable parameters, including body length and average size comparison.
Configurable trend basis: Choose between SMA50 or SMA50 with SMA200 to define trend direction.
Body size multiplier: Adjust the size threshold for valid engulfing patterns, providing flexibility based on market conditions.
Volume Impulse Signal: Highlights volume spikes that meet or exceed a specified multiplier, which can indicate increased buying or selling interest.
Customizable volume period and multiplier: Allows you to tailor the volume impulse detection based on the instrument’s average volume behavior.
Trend Detection Options: Select different trend detection methods to suit various trading styles and instruments.
SMA50-based detection: Classifies the trend based on the position of price relative to the 50-period SMA.
SMA50 and SMA200 combination: Incorporates a dual-moving average approach, classifying trends based on the relationship between price, SMA50, and SMA200.
Enhanced Visualization: Distinguishes bullish and bearish signals with customizable colors, providing clear and immediate visual cues for easy interpretation.
Custom label colors: Allows you to set distinct colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals for quick identification.
Pattern filtering: Enable or disable specific patterns (Bullish, Bearish, or Both) based on your trading preferences.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bullish reversal in a downtrend. This signal occurs when a white candlestick with a body size exceeding a specified multiplier completely engulfs the previous black candlestick. The pattern will display a “BE” label below the candle if it meets the criteria, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bearish reversal in an uptrend. A black candlestick with a body size exceeding the specified multiplier fully engulfs the previous white candlestick, signaling possible downward movement. The “BE” label appears above the candle to denote this pattern.
Volume Impulse Up: Displays a “VI” label below the candle when the volume surpasses the defined multiplier, and the price closes higher than it opened, indicating strong upward buying interest.
Volume Impulse Down: Displays a “VI” label above the candle when the volume meets or exceeds the specified threshold, and the price closes lower than it opened, signaling strong selling pressure.
Indicator uses the SMA50 and SMA200 to determine trend direction due to their popularity in technical analysis as indicators of medium- and long-term trends. The SMA50 reflects the average price over the past 50 periods, providing insight into intermediate trends, while the SMA200 is often used to identify the broader trend direction. These SMAs help traders quickly assess whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation phase, enhancing decision-making for both short-term and long-term strategies.

Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
9. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Only the candlestick pattern that generated the entry signal to triger the trade is identified and labeled on the chart. During the operation, the occurrence of new Doji, Pin Bar, Hammer and Shooting Star patterns will not be demonstrated on the chart, since the exit criteria are based on percentage take profit and stop loss.

[DarkTrader] 3 Candle EG ZoneThe 3 Candle EG Zone indicator identifies engulfing patterns and plots dynamic boxes around these zones. The engulfing patterns are key reversal signals where one candle's body completely engulfs the body of the previous candle, indicating a shift in market sentiment. This indicator identifies both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and draws visual boxes around them, which extend to the right on the chart to show how the zones evolve over time.
EG Calculation by @moamenmostafa Script.
Indicator In Use :
Customization Parameters :
Max EG Box Showing: Defines the maximum number of engulfing (EG) boxes that can be displayed on the chart simultaneously. This helps to limit chart clutter by ensuring that only a specified number of zones are visible.
Pivot EG Box Offset: Sets how far to extend the engulfing box to the right from the current candle. This makes the box continue into future price action, highlighting the significance of the engulfing zone.
Zone Color: Customizes the color and transparency of the engulfing zone box, allowing users to set their preferred color to differentiate bullish and bearish zones.
Bullish Engulfing (Bullish EG):
The code checks if the last three candles have been bearish (open higher than close), and then the current candle is bullish (close higher than open) with a strong upward move. Additionally, the bullish candle must engulf the previous bearish candle, indicating a potential upward reversal. If this condition is true, a box is drawn around the low and high of the last candle.
Bearish Engulfing (Bearish EG):
Similarly, the code checks for three consecutive bullish candles (open lower than close), followed by a bearish candle (open higher than close) that engulfs the previous bullish candle. This signifies a possible downward reversal, and a box is drawn around the last candle's range.
The script continuously checks for bullish or bearish engulfing patterns and dynamically draws boxes around those zones. The boxes remain visible as long as the price stays within the engulfing zone's range. If the price exceeds the zone, the box is deleted, ensuring that only valid and current zones are shown on the chart.

Candlestick Structure [LuxAlgo]The Candlestick Structure indicator detects major market trends and displays various candlestick patterns aligning with the detected trend, filtering out potentially unwanted patterns as a result. Multiple trend detection methods are included and can be selected by the users.
A dashboard showing the alignment percentage of each individual pattern is also provided.
🔶 USAGE
By distinguishing major and minor trend detection, we can still detect patterns based on minor trends, yet filter out the patterns that do not align with the major trend.
By detecting candlestick patterns that align with a major trend, we can effectively detect the ending points of retracements, potentially providing various entry points of interest within a trend.
Users are able to track the alignment of each candlestick pattern in the dashboard to reveal which patterns typically align with the trend and which may not.
Note: Alignment % only checks if the pattern's direction is the same as the current trend direction. These are only raw readings and not any type of confidence score.

CandleStick [TradingFinder] - All Reversal & Trend Patterns🔵 Introduction
"Candlesticks" patterns are used to predict price movements. We have included 5 of the best candlestick patterns that are common and very useful in "technical analysis" in this script to identify them automatically. The most important advantage of this indicator for users is saving time and high precision in identifying patterns.
These patterns are "Pin Bar," "Dark Cloud," "Piercing Line," "3 Inside Bar," and "Engulfing." By using these patterns, you can predict price movements more accurately and therefore make better decisions in your trades.
🔵 How to Use
Pin Bar : This pattern consists of a Candle where "Open Price," "Close Price," "High Price," and "Low Price" form the "Candle Body," and it also has "Long Shadow" and "Short Shadow." In the visual appearance of the Pin Bar pattern, we have a candle body and a pin bar shadow, where the candle body is smaller relative to the shadow.
Just as the candle body plays an important role in analysis, the pin bar shadow can also be influential. The larger the pin bar shadow, the stronger the expectation of a trend reversal.
When a "bearish pin bar" occurs at resistance or the chart ceiling, it can be predicted that the price trend will be downward. Similarly, at support points and the chart floor, a "bullish pin bar" can indicate an upward price movement.
Additionally, patterns like "Hammer," "Shooting Star," "Hanging Man," and "Inverted Hammer" are types of pin bars. Pin bars are formed in two ways: bullish pin bars have a long lower shadow, and bearish pin bars have a long upper shadow. Important: Displaying "Bullish Pin Bar" is labeled "BuPB," and "Bearish Pin Bar" is labeled "BePB."
Dark Cloud : The Dark Cloud pattern is one type of two-candle patterns that occurs at the end of an uptrend. The 2-candle pattern indicates the shape of this pattern, which actually consists of 2 candles, one bullish and one bearish. This pattern indicates a trend reversal and is quite powerful.
The Dark Cloud pattern is seen when, after a bullish candle at the end of an uptrend, a bearish candle opens at a higher level (weakly, equal, or higher) than the closing point of the bullish candle and finally closes at a point approximately in the middle of the previous candle. In this indicator, the Dark Cloud pattern is identified as "Wick" and "Strong" .
The difference between these two lies in the strictness of their conditions. Important: Strong Dark Cloud is labeled "SDC," and Weak Dark Cloud is labeled "WDC."
Piercing Line : The Piercing candlestick pattern consists of 2 candles, the first being bearish and consistent with the previous trend, and the second being bullish. The conditions of the pattern are such that the first candle is bearish and a price gap is created between the two candles upon the opening of the next candle because its opening price is below (weakly equal to or less than) the closing price of the previous candle.
Additionally, its closing price must be at least 50% above the red candle.
This means that the second candle must penetrate at least 50% into the first candle. Important: Strong Piercing Line is labeled "SPL," and Weak Piercing Line is labeled "WPL."
3 Inside Bar (3 Bar Reversal) : The 3 Inside Bar pattern is a reversal pattern. This pattern consists of 3 consecutive candles and can be either bullish or bearish. In the bullish pattern (Inside Up) formed at the end of a downtrend, the last candle must be bullish, and the third candle from the end must be bearish.
Additionally, the close price must be more than 50% of the third candle from the end. In the bearish pattern (Inside Down) formed at the end of an uptrend, the last candle must be bearish, and the third candle from the end must be bullish. Additionally, the close price must be less than 50% of the third candle from the end. Important: Bullish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Bu3IB," and Bearish 3 Inside Bar is labeled "Be3IB."
Engulfing : The Engulfing candlestick pattern is a reversal pattern and consists of at least two candles, where one of them completely engulfs the body of the previous or following candle due to high volatility.
For this reason, the term "engulfing" is used for this pattern. This pattern occurs when the price body of a candle encompasses one or more candles before it. Engulfing candles can be bullish or bearish. Bullish Engulfing forms as a reversal candle at the end of a downtrend.
Bullish Engulfing indicates strong buying power and signals the beginning of an uptrend. This pattern is a bullish candle with a long upward body that completely covers the downward body before it. Bearish Engulfing, as a reversal pattern, is a long bearish candle that engulfs the upward candle before it.
Bearish Engulfing forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates the pressure of new sellers and their strong power. Additionally, forming this pattern at resistance levels and the absence of a lower shadow increases its credibility. Important: Bullish Engulfing is labeled "BuE," and Bearish Engulfing is labeled "BeE."
