This indicator allows you to specify price zones in which to detect basic candlestick patterns.
In the example above, I have specified the most immediate support and resistance zones on GBP/USD and set the script to detect engulfing candles. If a bearish engulfing candle occurs within the resistance zone a signal will be generated; likewise for bullish engulfing candles within the support zone .
The purpose of this indicator is to generate trading alerts when these patterns occur in order to reduce the screen-time required to monitor setups. This indicator is intended for structure traders primarily, although it could be used by anyone who uses zones and candlestick patterns to enter trades.
If you leave either zone set to 0 then that zone will not be used, meaning that you can use this to detect both support and resistance signals, or only signals at support, or only signals at resistance.
