Engulfing Failed Zone Detector by RWBTradeLabEngulfing Failed Zone Detector by RWBTradeLab
A clean, non-repainting tool that focuses on one thing only: showing where strong engulfing patterns failed and the market broke through their base.
What this indicator does
This script automatically scans for confirmed engulfing patterns (Regular & E-Regular) and then tracks where those structures are invalidated.
It highlights two types of failure zones:
1. Buy Engulfing Failed
* A bullish engulfing pattern forms (Regular or E-Regular).
* Later, a bearish candle closes below the base low of that engulfing.
* The zone from the base candle to the failure candle is marked as Buy EG Failed .
2. Sell Engulfing Failed
* A bearish engulfing pattern forms (Regular or E-Regular).
* Later, a bullish candle closes above the base high of that engulfing.
* The zone from the base candle to the failure candle is marked as Sell EG Failed .
Only the first clear failure after each engulfing is drawn, keeping the chart clean and readable.
Visuals on chart
1. A rectangle (box) is drawn from the engulfing base candle to the failure candle.
2. Labels are placed automatically:
* Buy EG Failed (below the zone)
* Sell EG Failed (above the zone)
3. Label distance from the zone is controlled by Text Offset from Box (%).
4. Separate color controls for:
* Buy Engulfing Failed Box Color
* Sell Engulfing Failed Box Color
The label style matches Engulfing Detector by RWBTradeLab for a consistent visual experience.
Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger only on confirmed bar close when a new failure completes:
* Buy EG Failed
* Sell EG Failed
Each alert message includes:
* Brand prefix: RWBTradeLab
* Price
* Time
* Ticker
Perfect for linking with bots, webhooks or alert-based trade management.
Key settings
Candle Length (closed candles)
* Defines how many recent confirmed candles are scanned (the live bar is excluded).
Display toggles
* Buy Engulfing Failed
* Sell Engulfing Failed
* Text
Turn each element ON/OFF to control how much information you want on the chart.
Text Offset from Box (%)
* Controls how far the label is placed from the failed zone, with a safe minimum to keep labels clear and readable.
Non-repainting confirmation
* All detection and alerts are based on closed candles only.
* No signals from the running candle, no repaint tricks.
* Once a failure zone appears, it stays fixed.
Best use
Failed engulfing zones can reveal:
* Broken demand/supply zones
* Liquidity grabs where “smart money” flushed traders out
* Strong momentum shifts after a failed reversal attempt
* Levels where continuation or clean retests often occur
Works on any symbol and timeframe. For best results, combine with:
* Higher timeframe structure
* Key support/resistance or supply/demand mapping
* Your own confirmation tools and risk management
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical pattern-detection tool, not financial advice. Trading involves risk. Always confirm signals with your own analysis and use proper risk management.
