Engulfing Failure & Overlap Zones [HASIB]🧭 Overview
Engulfing Failure & Overlap Zones is a smart price action–based indicator that detects failed engulfing patterns and overlapping zones where potential liquidity traps or reversal setups often occur.
It’s designed to visually highlight both bullish and bearish failed engulfing areas with clean labels and zone markings, making it ideal for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or price action–driven trading.
⚙️ Core Concept
Engulfing patterns are powerful reversal signals — but not all of them succeed.
This indicator identifies:
When a Buy Engulfing setup fails and overlaps with a Sell Engulfing zone, and
When a Sell Engulfing setup fails and overlaps with a Buy Engulfing zone.
These overlapping areas often represent liquidity grab zones, reversal points, or Smart Money manipulation levels.
🎯 Key Features
✅ Detects both Buy and Sell Engulfing Failures
✅ Highlights Overlapping (OL) zones with colored rectangles
✅ Marks Buy EG OL / Sell EG OL labels automatically
✅ Fully customizable visuals — colors, padding, and zone styles
✅ Optimized for both scalping and swing trading
✅ Works on any timeframe and any instrument
⚡ How It Helps
Identify liquidity traps before reversals happen
Visually see Smart Money overlap zones between opposing engulfing structures
Strengthen your entry timing and confirmation zones
Combine with your own SMC or ICT-based trading setups for higher accuracy
📊 Recommended Use
Use on higher timeframes (e.g., M15, H1, H4) to confirm major liquidity zones.
Use on lower timeframes (e.g., M1–M5) for precision entries inside the detected zones.
Combine with tools like Order Blocks, Break of Structure (BOS), or Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
🧠 Pro Tip
When a failed engulfing overlaps with an opposite engulfing zone, it often signals market maker intent to reverse price direction after liquidity has been taken. Watch these zones closely for strong reaction candles.

3D Candles (Zeiierman)█ Overview
3D Candles (Zeiierman) is a unique 3D take on classic candlesticks, offering a fresh, high-clarity way to visualize price action directly on your chart. Visualizing price in alternative ways can help traders interpret the same data differently and potentially gain a new perspective.
█ How It Works
⚪ 3D Body Construction
For each bar, the script computes the candle body (open/close bounds), then projects a top face offset by a depth amount. The depth is proportional to that candle’s high–low range, so it looks consistent across symbols with different prices/precisions.
rng = math.max(1e-10, high - low ) // candle range
depthMag = rng * depthPct * factorMag // % of range, shaped by tilt amount
depth = depthMag * factorSign // direction from dev (up/down)
depthPct → how “thick” the 3D effect is, as a % of each candle’s own range.
factorMag → scales the effect based on your tilt input (dev), with a smooth curve so small tilts still show.
factorSign → applies the direction of the tilt (up or down).
⚪ Tilt & Perspective
Tilt is controlled by dev and translated into a gentle perspective factor:
slope = (4.0 * math.abs(dev)) / width
factorMag = math.pow(math.min(1.0, slope), 0.5) // sqrt softens response
factorSign = dev == 0 ? 0.0 : math.sign(dev) // direction (up/down)
Larger dev → stronger 3D presence (up to a cap).
The square-root curve makes small dev values noticeable without overdoing it.
█ How to Use
Traders can use 3D Candles just like regular candlesticks. The difference is the 3D visualization, which can broaden your view and help you notice price behavior from a fresh perspective.
⚪ Quick setup (dual-view):
Split your TradingView layout into two synchronized charts.
Right pane: keep your standard candlestick or bar chart for live execution.
Left pane: add 3D Candles (Zeiierman) to compare the same symbol/timeframe.
Observe differences: the 3D rendering can make expansion/contraction and body emphasis easier to spot at a glance.
█ Go Full 3D
Take the experience further by pairing 3D Candles (Zeiierman) with Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) , a perfect complement that shows where activity is concentrated, while your 3D candles show how the price unfolded.
█ Settings
Candles — How many 3D candles to draw. Higher values draw more shapes and may impact performance on slower machines.
Block Width (bars) — Visual thickness of each 3D candle along the x-axis. Larger values look chunkier but can overlap more.
Up/Down — Controls the tilt and strength of the 3D top face.
3D depth (% of range) — Thickness of the 3D effect as a percentage of each candle’s own high–low range. Larger values exaggerate the depth.

Twisted Forex's Doji + Area StrategyTitle
Twisted Forex’s Doji + Area Strategy
Description
What this strategy does
This strategy looks for doji candles forming inside or near supply/demand areas . Areas are built from swing pivots and sized with ATR, then tracked for retests (“confirmations”). When a doji prints close to an area and quality checks pass, the strategy places a trade with the stop beyond the doji and a configurable R:R target.
How areas (zones) are built
• Swings are detected with a user-set pivot length.
• Each swing spawns a horizontal area centered at the pivot price with half-height = zoneHalfATR × ATR .
• Duplicates are de-duplicated by center distance (ATR-scaled).
• Areas fade when broken beyond a buffer or after an optional age (expiry).
• Retests are recorded when price touches and then bounces away from the area; repeated reactions increase the zone’s “strength”.
Signal logic (summary)
Doji detection: strict or loose body criteria with optional minimum wick fractions and ATR-scaled minimum range.
Proximity: price must be inside/near a supply or demand area (proxATR × ATR).
Side resolution: overlap is resolved by (a) which side price penetrates more, (b) fast/slow EMA trend, or (c) nearest distance. Optional “previous candle flip” can bias long after a bearish candle and short after a bullish one.
Optional 1-bar confirmation: the bar after the doji must close away from the area by confirmATR × ATR .
Quality filter (Off/Soft/Strict): four checks—(i) wick rejection past the edge, (ii) doji closes in an edge “band” of the area, (iii) fresh touch (cooldown), (iv) approach impulse over a short lookback. In Strict , thresholds auto-tighten.
Orders & exits
• Long: stop below doji low minus buffer; Short: above doji high plus buffer.
• Target = rrMultiple × risk distance .
• Pyramiding is off by default.
Position sizing
You can size from the script or from Strategy Properties:
• Script-driven (default): set Position sizing = “Risk % of equity” and choose riskPercent (e.g., 1.0%). The script applies safe floors/rounding (FX micro-lots by default) so quantity never rounds to zero.
• Properties-driven : toggle Use TV Properties → Order size ON, then pick “Percent of equity” in Properties (e.g., 1%). The header includes safe defaults so trades still place.
Key inputs to explore
• Zone building : pivotLen, zoneHalfATR, minDepartureATR, expiryBars, breakATR, leftBars, dedupeATR.
• Doji & proximity : strictDoji, dojiBodyFrac, minWickFrac, minRangeATR, proxATR, minBarsBetween.
• Overlap resolution : usePenetration, useTrend (EMA 21/55), “previous candle flip”, needNextBarConf & confirmATR.
• Quality : qualityMode (Off/Soft/Strict), minQualPass/kStrict, wickPenATR, edgeBandFrac, approachLookback, approachMinATR, freshTouchBars.
• Zone strength gating : minStrengthSoft / minStrengthStrict.
• HTF confluence (optional) : useHTFTrend (HTF EMA 34/89) and/or useHTFZoneProx (HTF swing bands).
Tips to make it cleaner / higher quality
• Turn needNextBarConf ON and use confirmATR = 0.10–0.15 .
• Increase approachMinATR (e.g., 0.35–0.45) to require a stronger pre-touch impulse.
• Raise minStrengthSoft/Strict (e.g., 4–6) so only well-reacted zones can signal.
• Use signalsOnlyConfirmed ON if you prefer trades only from zones with retests (the script falls back gracefully when none exist yet).
• Nudge proxATR to 0.5–0.6 to demand tighter proximity to the level.
• Optional: enable useHTFTrend to filter counter-trend setups.
Default settings used in this publication
• Initial capital: 100,000 (illustrative).
• Slippage: 1 tick; Commission: 0% (you can raise commission if you prefer—spread is partly modeled by slippage).
• Sizing: Risk % of equity via inputs; riskPercent = 1.0% ; FX uses micro-lot floors by default.
• Quality: Off by default (Soft/Strict available).
• HTF trend gate: Off by default.
Backtesting notes
For a meaningful sample size, test on liquid symbols/timeframes that yield 100+ trades (e.g., majors on 5–15m over 1–2 years). Backtests are modelled and broker costs/spread vary—validate on your feed and forward-test.
How to read the chart
Shaded bands are supply (above) and demand (below). Brighter bands are the nearest K per side (visual aid). BUY/SELL labels mark entries; colored dots show entry/SL/TP levels. You can hide zones or unconfirmed zones for a cleaner view.
