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
An algorithm mode setting switches between looser and strict engulfing definitions, and a threshold separates big from small candles. Other settings set the maximum number of engulfing zones (automatic for futures and forex), maximum bars back, line width, and fill and border colours with transparency. It highlights areas only and does not generate entries, exits or stops.
