Bullish & Bearish Engulfing Finder [Crypto Varthagam]

Overview

This script is designed to automatically detect Bullish and Bearish Engulfing Candlestick Patterns directly on your TradingView chart. Engulfing patterns are widely used in price action trading as potential reversal signals.

Features
- Detects both Bullish Engulfing and Bearish Engulfing patterns.
- Option to require a prior trend filter (configurable consecutive bars)

Flexible engulfing detection:

- Strict mode (body must fully cover the previous candle’s body).
- Ratio mode (current body must be at least X times larger).
- Optional volume confirmation (engulfing candle volume > SMA × multiplier).
- Clear chart labels and optional background highlights.
- Built-in alert conditions for automated notifications.
- Lightweight, clean, and open-source for the community.

Why It’s Unique

- Unlike many engulfing detectors, this script gives you full control over detection rules. You can fine-tune strictness, require prior trends, or add volume conditions to filter out weak signals. Both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns are supported in one script, keeping your chart clean.
