It should be. You have designed it that way. TP is in higher time frame(H4) and SL is in lower time frame(M15).

Thanks,

not managed to catch the big R winner yet this week... its coming though. Im watching next h4 closes on EJ and BRENT

any reason for watching ej ? the last h4 candle could have been an engulf but unfortunately not. there could be a dip coming.

i closed my ej short earlier for around 170 pips. only one other trade now, audjpy long opened in the morning , presently +70 pips. looking to close it out,.

cant see any h4 engulfs on any pairs at the moment

60minuteman, thanks a lot for another great thread.

I know you are not so focused on win rate but there is something I want to contribute / put up for discussion.

I've noticed that (on EU at least anyway) the 4H engulfing bars that are rejected at the opposite end have a higher probability of producing winning trades.

For example, a bearish engulfing that also took out the high of the previous bar, seems (over last 18 months or so anyway) to have a higher probability than one that didn't (not that I am telling people not to take the ones that don't).

This ties in with your logic of failure setting a new daily S/R....

60minuteman, I was also wondering why you like Euro, Gold and Brent - is it because they like to move, or because you find their "personality" suits the engulfing style more?

Hi Lemna... agree with you 100% an engulf that forms at a swing point is a higher probability trade,

1. it's at the higher TF s/r,

2. it has the greatest possible reward

3. it is coming off fresh supply or demand...

I'm often in a dilemma as to wether I should be selective or not, i'm undecided but I do instinctively look for them at the end of the swings...


With regards selecting pairs I wanted to have 1 of each, Euro, dollar,yen,commodity, futures... it's easy to remember where each pair is trend wise, I get enough entries to keep me interested and they all seem to give good R/R....

Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but I thought that is what all examining this approach were doing. It would seem an apparent swing high/low would be the proper place to initiate a trade........

Hi Ferru... yeah I will take them but treat them as countertrend..

Obviously if the daily engulfed short I would be very wary, but we just had a hint that gold is at a top, may well break north again.

Still made a higher swing low on h4 and if this current h4 closes up then that top is looking shakey

{quote} ok.... it's a key element of s/r so I will try and make it clear... 1. If h4 is closing down below h4 s/r we know it will keep going until it hits a daily line (or higher) 2. then we have a h4 close up but not over the h4 s/r (not engulf long in fact an inside bar). So at this point the low of the h4 engulf is a possible daily s/r that is going to stop the move and turn it... 3. If it is the s/r that is going to stop the move, the bottom, then we wont trade lower than it... so we could trade the breakout short?... which is exactly what I...
i think my attempt on aud usd does give another good example to bemore patient so i would like to share here for everyone to learn from my mistake

In the end i got stopped out as it was a bounce from the daily s/r.

I think the reason this trade failed because, I shouldnt take the line i drew for daily s/r as a line but it should be taken as a zone. I should wait for a clear invalidation of the daily s/r.

Cheers.

Hi 60minute,

I can see that your inside bar is also an inside bar of another bigger mother bar. Did you ignore the previous inside bar? can you make a comment on that, please.
thanks

The previous inside bar never broke out the range of the mother candle.
