Bullish and Bearish Engulfing Strategy by cma

strategy bullish bearish bullishengulfing bearishengulfing

I've been trying to put a stop loss in the High or Low of the last second bar after I open a position but in this example the only way to close it, is with the opposite action. Does anyone know how to put a stop loss and order with just stop loss and close when there is a bullish or bearish engulfing bar?
