your explanations and postings are very helpful, thank you!

yes, h1 and m30 seems too close together.

so i will watch more closely H4 and m30 and combine them...

h4 is for direction. h4 engulf to opposite h4 engulf.
m30 for entry. some times h1 for entry when cannot see in m30.
m15 for more precise entry when price arrives in the m30 zone or if you find that the m30 SL zone too big.
m5 and m1 for news because price can move very fast and we do not see any engulf in m15.

as you know i have already my approach or "system", BUT i will include your style because it seems to fit very good to my style with S&R zones and horizontal lines.

today your style supports my longs on GU which i am already in.

some sees engulfing as supply and demand.
what is important is at what significant level we decide to trade. the other important thing is time, ie. frankfurt london new york nyse sessions.
generally speaking the significant level is at h4 engulf.
3rd important thing is the m30 confirmation in the h4 zone.

Hey there Inthebox, loving the thread as since I started trading similar systems like supply and demand or orderblocks, my winrate and confidence in trading has improved.

How do you define what engulfing is relevant, based on what I have read on the thread and mostly on this specific picture, that GU chart for example has a lot of different EG on the 30 min. Do you just go from right to left selecting the last engulfings and see how these have mostly reacted to price.

Thanks!

so you are talking about the m30 engulf in the h4 engulf zone.
you see that there are 2 types of m30 engulf.
one is formed at current market price.
the other formed when making the h4 engulf.
generally speaking, use the current market price one because this is a confirmation.
the other one is a first touch and go because sometimes price shot up without forming any confirmation.

Perfect! thanks for the answer, it was actually what I had thought at first

Beautiful reaction to the levels you posted on GU, I have EU mapped but I did not find a really significant level for the reaction like GU had.

What I am waiting is for price to react, considering how it reacted to GU, we may leave a 30 min EG on CMP, and can look at a short entry out of the rebound of this EG. The other option is price shooting up to the previous 30 min EG inside the 4h EG and make a reaction there.

Happy if I could get some feedback, cheers!
