Same Color Filter If it is used, both candles must have the same color.
MA Filter If it is used Engulfing must be, above MA for bullish Alert, below MA for bearish Alert.
The indicator was revised and updated

Hi!
I’m new so pardon my inquiry. I downloaded this indicator but nothing’s showing up on my chart. It appears that the indicator loaded but I am not getting the colored arrows.
Thanks for your help! Leftcoaster
leftcoaster · Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:33 am
I just noticed that on a 5 minute chart, I am getting the arrows.
To clarify, this indicator has a strict definition of ‘Engulfing’. The prior candle’s body + wick must be engulfed by the present candle body. Correct?
Thanks!
Apprentice · Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:34 am
Strange, try to change, Complet candle option.
Apprentice · Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:41 am
Yes, By changing these options, the indicator uses a slightly broader definition.
The body of the previous candle is Engulft by Engulfing bar.
leftcoaster · Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:48 am
That did it! I changed ‘Complete Candle’ to False and a ton of signals popped up….too many really, even on the 4 hour chart…thus the need for the 3 candle signal. Nevertheless, this indicator does help and works well! Thanks….

I’m glad I can help

I am getting an error message when I try to download on FXCM. Any suggestions?
Apprentice · Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:46 am
Can you specify the error message. I tried an indicator, it works perfectly.
raulbanda1 · Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:34 am
The error message Im getting reads “Error in File (String Engulfing) Attemp to index global indicator (a nil value)

Modified Engulfing Added. Engulfing bar Indicator updated.

Really helpfull indy. Maybe a color candle option would be nice to reduce clutter on the screen?
speakinmymind · Thu Mar 28, 2013 10:14 am
Can you add the ability to modify size of both the looked at and current candle?
I think this along with a SMA option would allow better strategy optimization.
Apprentice · Fri Mar 29, 2013 2:17 pm
SMA option, can you clarify. Color candle option is on.
speakinmymind · Fri Mar 29, 2013 5:58 pm

I mean if the price is above the selected moving average it will only show bullish signals, if it is below the selected SMA, it will be restricted to bearish signals

Color candle & MA Filter options added.
speakinmymind · Wed Apr 03, 2013 10:03 am
Can the same MA filter be added to the Modified Engulfing indicator? I can’t find the URL to the indicator to post this comment to.
speakinmymind · Wed Apr 03, 2013 8:23 pm
nevermind about the modified, i see thats what the color filter is for… whoops
Apprentice · Thu Apr 04, 2013 5:11 am
Modified engulfing indicator, is no more. I have merged this two versions in one indicator.

Hi can we add an alert to this indicator when an engulfing candle is formed?
DAVIDR · Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:41 pm
Hi, Anyone know if this is yet available as an MT4 indicator????
Apprentice · Wed Apr 01, 2015 3:43 am
Not that I know. Added to development list.
Stance · Thu Jul 23, 2015 3:48 am
Can reverse signal types be added to this indicator to show BUY when price is below MA and SELL when price is above MA?
stainer · Sat May 28, 2016 10:13 pm
Hi just checking up will the alert ever be ready for this indi. It would save me a massive amount of time checking through all the charts every hour if we could have a alert as engulfing candles are a huge part of my strategy. Thanks
Apprentice · Mon May 30, 2016 2:08 pm
Engulfing with Alert.lua Added
stainer · Tue May 31, 2016 9:04 am
Thank you Apprentice
gpfd1985 · Thu Jun 09, 2016 11:29 am
Turn off opposite candle arrow. What I mean by that is if I’m clearly in a trend say, an uptrend and I get a bullish engulfing candle is there a way to turn off the bearish candles so they don’t clutter the chart. And of course bearish candles if in a down trend. Thank you as always for you awesome help

Would you please add a filter to the above so it only alerts on the close of the candle. As always thank you for your hard work
Apprentice · Tue Sep 27, 2016 12:03 pm
Trend Filter added.
Would you please add a filter to the above so it only alerts on the close of the candle.
Please use “End of Turn” parameter.
gpfd1985 · Tue Oct 04, 2016 2:47 pm
Would it be poss to change alert function where it only alerts when the candle has closed.
Avignon · Wed Oct 05, 2016 3:20 am
The answer is above your question.

I love this indicator, would it be possible to have it on mt4? The option to paint the candle helps a lot to identify fast the engulfing. Defining also “complete candle” very important.

Thank you, but the mt4 version only shows the typical arrows, not the options that FXCM’s provides. Thank you

Any possibility to review this link? https://fxcodebase.com/code/download/fi … &mode=view The request is to convert to mt4 the engulfing.lua file as is, to allow the selection of a full engulfing of a candle and the possibility to color the candle instead of using pointing arrows. Thank you.
