Full Description
Overview
- Identifies bars where the current period's range fully engulfs the prior period's range
- Offers three algorithms for defining the engulfing range:
- High/Low: uses absolute high and low values
- Open/Close: considers candle direction (bull/bear) and compares opens and closes
- Open/Close II: stricter version with exclusive inequalities for engulfing
- Engulfing behavior is detected automatically and highlighted for easy recognition
- Works on multiple markets but restricted to D, H4, and H1 charts for accuracy
Controls
- Year lookback (YLB) configurable to filter older bars
- Custom background color for highlighting Outside Bars
- Simple toggle interface with minimal chart clutter
Visual Representation

- Color transparency adjustable for clarity
Usage
- Use to identify strong market momentum or potential reversals
- Helps spot high-probability setups based on engulfing price action
Notes
- Only compatible with Daily, H4, and H1 timeframes
- Non-repainting: once an Outside Bar is drawn, it will not adjust retroactively
- Best used as a market structure reference not a direct trade signal
