- i use engulf for 2 candles as per picture 1 at the bottom.
- Engulf does not apply to 2 candles only, it can be in multiple candles variations as per picture 2 at the bottom.
eg. the same 2 candles engulf in d1 appears as multiple candles in h4.
- Engulf becomes Engulf Fail acting like a break of structure as per picuture 3 at the bottom.
Get to know the overall concept in these 2 videos.
Rules
3 Time Frames Alignment in same Direction Set Up
(1) Direction Set Up (W1, D1, H4 Engulf/Engulf Fail)
concept: of engulf / engulf fail flowing to the next engulf / engulf fail

(2) Trade Control (H1, M30, M15 Engulf/Engulf Fail)
Also act as Road Blocks
When price pullback/returns to the htf h4 Engulf zone (the lowest direction time frame).
Drop down to h1 or m30 or m15 and find Trade Control Engulf/Engulf Fail set up at Current Market Price or at the back historically (more risky).
Or
take the Trade Control Engulf/Engulf Fail as the Trade Entry set up at Current Market Price as long as you are comfortable with the Stop Loss.
Entry upon retest of Engulf/Engulf Fail Trade Entry zone.
Stop Loss - candle close outside the trade entry eg/ef zone.
Take Profit - one or two opposite Engulf away or support / resistant.
(3) Confirmation Entry at Current Market Price (M15, M5 to M1 Engulf/Engulf Fail)
When price pullback/returns to Trade Control Engulf/Engulf Fail zone
Drop down to m15, m5 to m1 and find Engulf/Engulf Fail Trade Entry set up at CMP.
Entry upon retest of Engulf/Engulf Fail set up zone.
Stop Loss - candle close outside the trade entry eg/ef zone.
Take Profit - one (htf) or two (ltf) opposite Engulf away or support / resistant.
The ideal Trade Entry set up would be a combination of Engulf Fail first, then pullback to Engulf .
This would very much depend on the trader himself whether he has the discipline and patience to wait for it.
(4) The Importance of Market Open
Trade entry at the right price level and the right time.
