Source Code
The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.
Overview
A pattern needs the current body to cover a set percentage of the previous body, with options for opposite color, doji handling and a maximum previous body size in ATR. Optional confirmation uses band, momentum and EMA crossover settings, and a trend moving average filter can require price alignment. Stops are ATR or fixed ticks, with targets by risk-reward or ATR. The code describes itself as reconstructed.
- Bullish and bearish engulfing pattern detection
- Optional band, momentum and EMA crossover confirmation

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
