The indicator of the “Absorption” candle pattern displays potential zones for trading. Often used for supply/demand and support/resistance strategies.
Variables
- Max Candles: the number of candles for the indicator to work.
- “0” – all chart candlesticks
- Engulfing Size: the size of the engulfing candle
- Personally, I use the value 2 or 3.
- The parameter is based on the size of the absorbing candle, namely, only the absorption that is X times larger than the smaller candle will be shown (a candle with a smaller body * The value of Engulfing Size)
- This parameter allows you to filter most of the small absorption patterns that occur on the chart
- Pips Approximation: Acceptable deviations for determining the pattern. Use a small value, no more than 1-2 pips
- The software does NOT AUTOMATICALLY determine the number of digits your broker has, so set this value by multiplying or dividing by 10, respectively
