Extreme Engulfing Reversal Pattern for ThinkorSwim

[BenTen]

The Engulfing candlestick is considered to be a reliable pattern for reversal trading. This indicator will give you a buy and sell signal based on the Engulfing pattern combining with the RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator.

When a bullish or bearish Engulfing candle is identified we also look at the Overbought and Oversold levels. If they match up then a signal is alerted.

• Buy signal: Bullish Engulfing Candlestick is detected while the RSI is below 25 (extremely oversold level) then we get a sense that a bullish reversal may happen here.
• Sell signal: The same goes for bearish Engulfing candles. It has to be detected while the RSI is in extreme overbought level (75 and over).

@spencepuppy try it now

I am trying to figure out how to code in assignpricecolor to color the candles green when a bullish signal happens, the candles then stay green until a bearish signal and then the candles turn red and stay red until the next bull signal. All I am getting at the moment is the candle on which the signal happens is being painted. Ideas please.

Thank you for the code. It is super useful! I am trying to make this code work for the watchlist, so I can scan multiple stocks by receiving a color indicator if there is an engulfing bar. Is it possible to implement this on the watchlist? Or the code is too complicated for the watchlist to execute? I am very new to this thinkscript and glad to find this forum.
