Source Code

Overview
Algorithm modes range from looser to strict engulfing, with a threshold separating big from small candles. Settings limit how many zones and how much history are kept, with a separate cap for break, retest and choppy zones that use their own fill colours. Bearish and bullish fills are adjustable. It highlights areas only and does not generate entries, exits or stops.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.
