m15 supports m5.
which htf supports m15?
i asked because i want you to know this that m15 support is not enough.
which time frame gives support to your long bias?

Hi, if i may ask, it looks like you do not wait for confrimation but entering when price is in the zone,
bravo for confidence as price broke the zone with the wick and then went to your favour, how many pips SL you tolerate?

post 1 rule 1.
(1) Direction flow bias.
Go to w1, d1, h4 to find Engulfing direction.

so the lowest time frame for bias is h4.
when price gone into h4 bullish engulf, go 1 or 2 time frames lower.
you find that h1 and m30 also has an bullish engulf, which is in agreement with h4.
when price gone into h1 or m30 bullish engulf, go 1 or 2 time frames lower.
wait for m15 or m5 to form a bullish engulf or engulf fail, which is in agreement with m30 or h1, which is also in agreement with h4.

you see that there is a set sequence of steps to take so that all time frames are in agreement in same direction.
not starting with h1 or m30 and go lower time frames for entry.
not starting with h4 and jump to m15 for entry.

hope that it is clear now.

i dont wait for confirmation and i dont use hard SL, because i know GU very well for years and know when i am wrong to close positions.

i would not trade the same way other currencies like AU, UJ or GJ. its only with GU i have the trust.

i do not see any bearish d1 engulf.
since it is nasdaq it is safer to wait for nyse to open unless you are willing to take a risk.

weekend study.
alright guys. this is the last video, my last gift that i am putting out here.
although it is a hindsight learning but a good one. everyone should watch it more than once.
if this does not help you, then i could not do anything more to help either. i have expended my effort here.
if you still could not understand, i suggest that you switch to other methods.
for some, their eyes just cannot see the engulfing set up.

so no more doubts on this thread anymore, you should be skillful on your own now.
the rests of it depends on you. how persistent and disciplined you are on continuous learning and taking action to apply them on a daily basis.
Knowledge is useless without the ability to apply It.

We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown

Hello @Inthebox
i use your method recently and i achieved to 70 to 75 percent winrate till now (This is the second week that I have been using this method). i set my SL around 10 pips upper than engulf candle and for all my trades SL is average 20 pips. do you think i should set the SL wider as you said Maximum 40 pips ? i mean will it survive in the choppy market?
i use H4/H1/M30 TFs

A 70% to 75% win rate is excellent. Why would you want to change it when it's working fine for you?

The golden rule for any sport: DON'T CHANGE THE WINNING COMBINATION UNTIL IT'S WORKING FOR YOU.

Just my opinion.

yeah you are right but this winrate is just for 2 weeks and different condition of the market will impact on winrate.
