Engulfing Candles

Engulfing Candles highlights two tiers of engulfing structures on the chart:

Strong Engulfing – aggressive, high-conviction outside bars where the real body completely dominates the previous candle.

Regular Engulfing – clean outside bars that still show control, but with looser body conditions.

Both are plotted as dots directly on the price so you can quickly spot liquidity sweeps and potential reversal/continuation zones.

1. Strong Engulfing (Body + Outside Bar)

Concept:
A Strong Engulfing candle is a strict outside bar that both sweeps liquidity and shows decisive control in the body (current body fully covers the previous body).

Strong Bullish Engulfing

Plotted as a solid red dot above the bar.

2. Regular Engulfing (Outside Bar Only)

Concept:
Regular Engulfing marks strict outside bars that still show control, but without requiring the current body to completely engulf the prior body. They are weaker than Strong but still useful context for structure and liquidity sweeps.

Regular Bullish Engulfing

Plotted as a faded red dot above the bar.
