The Engulfing Bar Indicator recognizes the “Takeover” pattern when trading currencies and binary options.
The indicator is an improved version of this candlestick pattern.
The strategy is based solely on price action.
- Distance: the distance from the top or bottom of the candle to display the arrow, in pixels
- UseAlerts (true/false): enable alerts

- EmailAlerts (true/false): email alert
- PushAlers (true/false): push notifications

- To buy: wait for the bullish pattern in the support area after the
bearish trend. Wait until the price breaks the maximum of the pattern (5
pips above the maximum for H1 and larger timeframes, 1 pips for
M5). As soon as the maximum is broken, enter the deal. You can also
use a BUY STOP order set at 5 pips above the maximum of the
candle (plus the spread). Set the stop loss below the minimum of the pattern. If the
order is not activated on the next candle, the trade is canceled. - For selling: wait for a bearish pattern in the resistance zone
after the bullish trend. Wait until the price breaks the minimum of the pattern (5
pips below the minimum for H1 and larger timeframes, 1 pips for
M5). As soon as the minimum is broken, enter the deal. You can also
use a SELL STOP order set at 5 pips below
the candle minimum. Set the stop loss above the maximum of the pattern. If the order is not
activated on the next candle, the trade is canceled.
