Engulfing Candles at Stochastic Overbought and Oversold Crosses

Summary

The indicator combines stochastic threshold crossings with engulfing candlestick patterns to mark potential signals. It draws a downward arrow when a bearish engulfing candle occurs as the stochastic signal line crosses an overbought or oversold boundary, and an upward arrow for a bullish engulfing candle at such a crossing. The crossing direction is specified: the signal line must move into the relevant overbought or oversold zone; crossings back out are ignored.

The description presents the setup as a way to focus attention on possible reversals or trend signals when a currency pair reaches an extreme reading. Users can set the overbought and oversold levels and choose a symbol or timeframe. No entry, exit, or risk-management rules are given, and the document provides no backtest or performance evidence. Stochastic extremes can persist, so the indicator's arrows are signals to examine rather than proof of a reversal.

Key ideas

• The indicator pairs stochastic threshold crossings with bullish or bearish engulfing candles.
• An upward arrow marks a bullish engulfing pattern at a qualifying crossing, while a downward arrow marks a bearish one.
• Only crossings into the overbought or oversold zone count; crossings in the opposite direction are ignored.
• The description supplies no risk rules or performance evidence, and stochastic extremes may persist.
