it does not matter which one.
when you are waiting for TOA of frankfurt and london open, what do you see?

Hi In the Box I have a similar strategy for gold yet its even more simple. Check it out:

Price moves up/down and you wait..... until you get engulfing on 15min or 30min (depends how fast the price moves). Then you set buy and sell stop 20 cents above/below that engulfing.
Have a close trail.
If when in a trade you see another engulfing you either close the trade and set the sell/buy stop again or ignore it and hold it....its up to you.

The idea of this strategy is that if the price finds a meaningful level the price will reverse and if not then it has just rested enough to continue with the current trend.

What do you think?

hey, you can split into 2 units and do both.
whereas the 1st one is more likely for fast moving news trading.

@ITB

if a long-legged doji gets engulfed by a following candle, should I consider it an EG zone?

In my opinion, yes earlier three candles were all attempting to sell past the EG, the most recent candle seems like a stop hunt for the buys to me, before finally going up
