ChartBubble issue

I have this code below and what I really want to accomplish is for the chart bubble is disappear after the next candle since my chart gets too messy with the repeating chartbubble for occurrence of triggers.
In this example of my chart, it shows "ShootingStar" multiple times but what I really want to do is for the "ShootingStar" bubble to disappear after the next candle or if the BearishEngulfing signal is triggered. Help

def ShootingStar = close > open[1] and open < close[1] and close[1] < sma21;

def BearishEngulfing = close < open[1] and open > close[1] and sma21> close[1];


# Display labels on the chart with timestamp
AddLabel(BullishEngulfing, "BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE is true at " + hour + ":" + (if minutes < 10 then "0" else "") + minutes, if BullishEngulfing then Color.GREEN else Color.BLACK);
AddLabel(BearishEngulfing, "BEARISH ENGULFING CANDLE is true at " + hour + ":" + (if minutes < 10 then "0" else "") + minutes, if BearishEngulfing then Color.RED else Color.BLACK);

# Display bubble chart on the candle where the pattern occurred
AddChartBubble(ShootingStar, low, "ShootingStar", Color.GREEN, yes);
AddChartBubble(BearishEngulfing, high, "Bearish Engulfing", Color.RED, yes);
#
#added AddChartBubble functions to display a message on the candle where the Bullish or Bearish Engulfing pattern occurred.

# Hide the bubble on the next candle
AddChartBubble(ShootingStar[1], low[1], "", Color.UPTICK, yes, no);
AddChartBubble(BearishEngulfing[1], high[1], "", Color.DOWNTICK, yes, no);

Wanted to add label once condition is triggered but disappears on the next bar since the condition is no longer

AddLabel(ShowBullishEngulfing, "BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE is true: " + BullishEngulfing, If(BullishEngulfing = TRUE then Color.GREENWedge else if (BullishEngulfing = FALSE then BLANK );

Want the label "BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE is true: " be displayed on the chart once it occurs but becomes blank or turned off after the following bar. Somehow BLANK is not valid.
Please help

the color could be anything, the label will be off, it wont be seen
AddLabel(
ShowBullishEngulfing,
"BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE is true: " + BullishEngulfing,
If BullishEngulfing then Color.GREEN else color.gray);

this group is for working studies, not questions


in the future, post complete code. it is near impossible to fix partial code. or someone has to recreate the missing code to test it.

an alternative would be to draw a different shape.
i used dots to indicate an engulfing pattern, instead of a bubble. that way they don't cover up anything.

i added the ability to choose wicks or body, to determine the patterns.

i changed the labels, so they always a ppear, and show the time of most recent engulfings. (may be a previous day)

i changed the formulas for engulfing. the originals don't include looking at an average.
i disabled the shooting star

i left a lot of commented code in, so you could change it around.

Thank you. That idea is better since it will not clutter the chart.
