Overview

Engulfing One identifies trade signals by comparing the current candle body to the previous one at the start of each new bar. The logic includes dynamic stop loss placement at recent candle extremes and take profit targets based on the current market spread. The repository represents an early-stage development project; it lacks a README and contains hardcoded lot sizes. The provided code requires manual activation of trade execution functions as some order commands are commented out.
