This indicator marks Engulfing Bars (bars with a higher high and a lower low than the previous bar) on your chart. It will also send alerts when one forms, including via e-mail or push notification to your phone. It's ideal for when you want to be notified of an engulfing/outside bar set-up but don't want to have to sit in front of your chart all day.
You can configure all the settings including:- Whether it should be "range engulfing" (so high is higher than previous bar and low is lower than previous bar), or "body engulfing" (so just the candle body needs to engulf the previous bar's body), or both (so range and body engulfing)
- What symbol (if any) is plotted to highlight an outside bar with different ones for bull and bear engulfing bars
- How far beyond the bar it is plotted
- What alerts to receive out of pop-up desktop, e-mail and push notification to your phone
