Scalping Candle [Crak x MMT]

The Scalping Candle [Crak x MMT] is a TradingView indicator designed for scalping strategies, identifying potential bullish and bearish engulfing patterns on price charts. It overlays directly on the chart and marks specific candle patterns with visual signals, helping traders spot short-term trading opportunities. The indicator includes a customizable bias filter to focus on bullish, bearish, or neutral market conditions.

Features

• Overlay Indicator: Displays bullish and bearish signals directly on the price chart.
  
• Bias Filter: Allows users to select a market bias ('Bullish', 'Bearish', or 'Neutral') to filter signals based on their trading preference.
  
• Visual Signals: Plots green upward triangles below bullish candles and red downward triangles above bearish candles.
  
• Alerts: Generates alerts for bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, enabling timely notifications for trade setups.
  

How It Works

The indicator analyzes the relationship between the current and previous candles to detect engulfing patterns:

• Bullish Engulfing: Triggered when the current candle's low is at or below the previous candle's low, and its close is at or above the previous candle's midpoint. This signal is displayed only if the bias filter is set to 'Neutral' or 'Bullish'.
  
• Bearish Engulfing: Triggered when the current candle's high is at or above the previous candle's high, and its close is at or below the previous candle's midpoint. This signal is displayed only if the bias filter is set to 'Neutral' or 'Bearish'.
  
• The previous candle's midpoint is calculated as the average of its high and low prices.
