The Engulfing Bars indicator displays the Engulfing Bars, the signal, as well as the proposed stop loss and take profit. Absorbing bars are an important pattern of price action. The price action of the absorbing bar completely overlaps the price action of the previous bar.

Absorbing bars are most often used on higher timeframes.

The default settings of the Engulfing Bars indicator are quite effective most of the time. You can customize them based on your needs.

• Color Palette-select a color palette for a dark or light background.
• Colo (u)rs-color settings.
