Engulfing Candles Screener

  Sup all.

  I have been looking around for what im after but nothing close.

  Wondering if someone could help me figure out a little something please –

   

  Im trying to make a ProScreener which shows me in the timeframe i chose (D,1hr,15m and so on)

  if my indicator has printed a signal…

   

  Basically, i have cobbled together an indicator to show on the charts when an “Engulfing” candle shows up.

  I am now looking to have a screener which then shows me which markets it has shown up on..

   

  However, all i get is a full list of the markets i have chosen and the current price See 1st pic.

  I cant get the screener to show me when an engulfing candle has printed (Which should also be shown on the chart with the indicator i have made)

   

  Any ideas or links to something similar i can wibble about with please..

   

  Thanks.

  Please post your screener/indicator code so we could make it works the way you want 🙂

  Thanks Nicolas,

  Im happy to try and code it myself if someone could help a little with what code to look at..

  // Engulfing Screener Test
  // A Mitchell
  // 2022
  Bear=(close[1] > open[1] and open > close and open >= close[1] and open[1] >= close and open – close > close[1] – open[1] and high >= High[1] and Low <= Low[1])
  if Bear then

  endif

  Bull=(open[1] > close[1] and close > open and close >= open[1] and close[1] >= open and close – open > open[1] – close[1] and high >= High[1] and Low <= Low[1])
  if Bull then

   

  endif
  SCREENER(close as “Engulfing”)

  Many thanks guys.

  Hi Mitch,

  The simplest screener for Bullish and Bearish Engulfing looks like this:

  B&B Engulfing

  C1 = Close[1] < Open[1] and Open < Close[1] and Close > Open[1] // Bullish Engulfing C2 = Close[1] > Open[1] and Open > Close[1] and Close < Open[1] // Bearish Engulfing If C1 then Up = 1 elsIf C2 then Up = -1 EndIf SCREENER[C1 or C2](Up as "Bullish = 1 Bearish = -1")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  C1 = Close[1] < Open[1] and Open < Close[1] and Close > Open[1] // Bullish Engulfing C2 = Close[1] > Open[1] and Open > Close[1] and Close < Open[1] // Bearish Engulfing   If C1 then Up = 1 elsIf C2 then Up = -1 EndIf   SCREENER[C1 or C2](Up as "Bullish = 1 Bearish = -1")

  Thanks JS

  I’ll give that a try when I can get back to the pc.

   

  I have a specific set of “requirements” for my own indicator (lol I would wouldn’t I )

  So is there a way I can make a screener that searches all the assets chosen and returns a bullish or bearish depending on my screener.

  The standard engulfing candle is ok, but I only trade those whose wicks are bigger AND the body is bigger too. Along with a trend filter on my indicator ( 250ema) so not all engulfing candles show up or are “Indicated” if that makes sense.

   

  Currently en-route to an airport but will update with screenshots and code for anyone to use if you want.

   

  This plays VERY nice onto my oil system I have out on another post.

  So I guess I’m really after a screener which returns results based on my indicator ?!??

  Thanks again in advance

  Mitch

  All –

  Just so we’re on the same page, I’m not after someone to do a load of work, I’m after help finding the code which might help me make it, but if anyone wants to help code it I won’t say no.

   

  Thanks guys.

  Hi Mitch,

  You can take the “wicks” as an extra condition (High > High[1] and Low < Low[1]) The screener "searches" in all the lists you check...

  BB Engulfing + Wicks

  C1 = Close[1] < Open[1] and Open < Close[1] and Close > Open[1] and High > High[1] and Low < Low[1] // Bullish Engulfing + Wicks C2 = Close[1] > Open[1] and Open > Close[1] and Close < Open[1] and High > High[1] and Low < Low[1] // Bearish Engulfing + Wicks If C1 then Up = 1 elsIf C2 then Up = -1 EndIf SCREENER[C1 or C2](Up as “Bullish = 1 Bearish = -1”)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  C1 = Close[1] < Open[1] and Open < Close[1] and Close > Open[1] and High > High[1] and Low < Low[1] // Bullish Engulfing + Wicks C2 = Close[1] > Open[1] and Open > Close[1] and Close < Open[1] and High > High[1] and Low < Low[1] // Bearish Engulfing + Wicks   If C1 then Up = 1 elsIf C2 then Up = -1 EndIf   SCREENER[C1 or C2](Up as “Bullish = 1 Bearish = -1”)

  Here are two screenshots of the results of the screener including the “wicks”…
