Hi Cristian,
The liquidity of Forex prevents gapping between candles, which prevents many candlestick patterns from forming.

Hi Cristian,
We can simplify the code above by using the built-in CandlestickPatterns. See the attached backtest for an example.
Note that the example below doesn't make any trades over the same period of time as the algorithm above. This is because the engulfing pattern requires a gap. The attached notebook shows that there are no gaps over the trading period specified. For our full definition of the engulfing pattern, refer to our source code here. It is slightly different than the definition used in the algorithm above.
Best,
Derek Melchin
