Description

The Engulfing Pattern Indicator with Volume Confirmation is a powerful tool designed for traders who rely on price action and volume analysis to make smarter decisions. Built for MetaTrader 5, this indicator scans charts in real-time to detect bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then filters those patterns through a volume confirmation layer to validate the strength of the move.

Traditional engulfing pattern indicators often generate too many false signals. This tool solves that problem by ensuring that any engulfing candle is accompanied by a volume spike or higher-than-average volume a crucial sign that institutional activity may be behind the move.

This makes the indicator especially useful in volatile markets, ranging conditions, or at key support/resistance zones. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or position trader, this indicator helps you confidently identify high-probability reversal setups.

All signals are displayed directly on the chart using arrows or labels, with optional pop-up and sound alerts to keep you informed even when you’re multitasking.
