I wonder if this fullfill the configuration setups, AU is in a supply zone and I had already stopped at BE last friday, and trying again in the second visit to the zone. I still can not catch how looks like the engulf of the zone, but i am giving it a try.

Just sharing. My posting is not to show trades and be told "thats after the fact" . It is not the purpose. I woke up Friday morning bleary eyed at 6am (or there abouts), opened the platform on my mobile phone and saw the engulf low, on the return to source i hit sell and went for a shower. Last thing on my mind was to jump on PIE and let you all know how great i am!!! It is irrelevant to me trying to help the group that wish to understand more. That is not going to help you at all. Hopefully by dissecting and showing the session and how it played...
Thanks Warren,love the way you put the"story" on the chart.BTY off topic but seems to me that those who cry freedom the loudest are the first to censor those whose views don't accord with their own.Keep posting old mate.Al

Hello N.P.

Pro: high risk/reward ratio.
Cons: GBP is strongy going up, and the market was about to close

what do you think?

The fact that there is potentially a high reward to low risk setup has no bearing on the outcome of the trade (other than perhaps the higher the reward the less probable the trade on average)

Some basic things to consider that will increase the probability of your trade working out:

Quality of the zone?
Momentum away from the zone and did this movement overcome anything?
Approach to the zone?
Any other confluences at possible entry point?
Quality of pa in the zone?

Reading through the thread you will probably pick up on these factors. Not the be all and end all of course, there is more to it, but perhaps the more experienced traders can help you out on this one.

Candlestick patterns; the best one I know of is the engulf. Some engulfs are better than others.

Ah I get what you mean, once a took a H&S in m5 tf after reaching a supply zone, was so clear for me, was a good trade. Now about the engulfing patten I still can't clearly identify, especially when it involves several bars, of course is easy to find how books show involving only 2 bars.

When I first started with SD trading I had the impression that engulfing involve just candles and that's it like the ones we read in books and on popular trading websites. Later on Gil Ben-Hur opened my eyes to what seems like a much better way to whom I am very grateful.

An engulf in price is not determined solely on 2 or a few candles like we read on the internet, but the crossing of important zone in the direction of the intended trade. The zone could S, D or SR. It takes a lot of capital to break these zones. The only people that have the capital to do so are the institutional traders. They will not spend their money in vain. When they are willing to spend their money breaking zones they most likely intend to take price beyond the broken zone at some point to the next zone. (Enter after a retrace)

The quality of the engulf depends on how important the broken zone is... That needs study.

Just to add I personally find the traditional engulf in the LTF is good for trade triggers once an important zone have engulf followed by a retrace. In fact more than half my trades are taken like that.

Hi Binyamin, thanks for you clarified reply, are this "crossing of important zone in the direction of the intended trade" preceded by stop-huntings, are these 2 facts related to each others? And what about engulfing that bounce a defined S/D zones ? those are not "in the direction of the intended trade" but instead in the oposite direction.

thanks in advance

I will skip the HTF analysis from the weekly chart (unless requested) and get right into the LTF analysis. In the chart above area A is what seems like a supply zone and area B is where price reacted.

I will add that the reason why D at 1 is important is because D form after engulfing a previous important S... besides the fact that D held up price. I hope it make sense.

A bit more about the importance of a D or S. If it form after breaking a previous important D or S it is important. So if you perform this analysis you will be looking left and then left and left unlike most SD traders.

Institutional traders (IT) knows about SD traders, so they also feed on SD traders that are unrefined. Look at your charts SR, S and D are easily broken as they are respected sometimes. So yes IT will also run stops of SD traders to fill their orders. So can we evaluate SD zones to determine if it have a high chance to hold up before hand? The information is in this thread but it is intermix with what I think is not true. Refer to my previous post on how I determine if a zone is important or not. That will give you a clue.

Yes the prevailing theory about what IT are doing behind price is also in this thread. But in my opinion if you think about it, we really don't know what is happening or who is moving the price. For all you know no one might be in control. Only statistics can review the truth but not necessarily why it happen.

Yes probably all ITs know about engulfing of zones and they all work together to make sure there is order in the market it feels better to believe that than saying... But maybe like the rise and fall of sea tides there is somehow order out of chaos that we cannot explain. To me the answer to that is blowing in the wind and like other human beings I will use some theory to explain a phenomena because it feels better, but I know it could all be rubbish. My 2 cents.

AUDUSD shorts. I'd say about a 50% chance of working out oh hitting 2:1. Balls on the line. Where have the guru's gone? Share your charts.

This doesn't look like anyone in control to me!

The powers that move this market are behind these patterns. There is no hocus pocus, maybe's or fluff. The market is not random, infact if you know what to look for the market is very precise.

When price forms like this, its a sure thing. Time after time it pulls the same moves.
