Watch this... Which one do you think is the Engulfing Candle Pattern out of these 3 Charts?
[6]
Answer sounds pretty easy right? If you say the third one, you are actually wrong but
[11]
at the same time you are also correct. Trading is not always a yes or no statement. In reality,
[18]
trading is so complex that this question will get two different answers. Many will say it's
[23]
this one, but there will be some who will say all of them are the same picture. And
[28]
the thing is, both of them are right. To understand why some traders will say something strange,
[34]
when the third one clearly has the engulfing pattern, we will first have to understand
[38]
what the engulfing pattern actually means, and how it is formed. Let me explain.
[44]
In one of the previous videos, we tested the Engulfing candlestick pattern 100 times, and
[50]
found out that the engulfing works more than 50 percent of the time, and price actually
[55]
goes in the direction of the engulfing candle. If you haven't watched that video, maybe consider

[77]
run.
[78]
Many people consider the Engulfing Candlestick pattern to be one of the important candlestick
[82]
patterns, because it can tell a lot about the buyers and sellers in the market. For
[87]
example, let's say price is making red candles in a downtrend. If it is making red candles,
[94]
there is a selling pressure, or in other words, there are more sellers who are willing to
[99]
sell at the current price. Sellers are ruling the market and some buyers are not interested
[104]
in participating as multiple red candles are forming in a row. But then, for some reason,
[110]
price makes a big move up, and completely engulfs the previous candle. For some reason,
[116]
let's say because the price touched a strong support area, many buyers got interested in
[121]
buying in this area. The buying pressure was so high, that buyers completely took over
[127]
all the sellers from the last two candles. But hold on a minute, according to this theory,
[133]
an engulfing candle was formed, because more buyers were interested in buying when this
[137]
candle was forming. But what if the same number of buyers bought at the same prices, but a
[143]
little bit slowly. This is a screenshot of a forex pair on the 15 minutes timeframe.
[149]
If the same number of buyers would have bought the pair a little bit slowly, two 15 minutes
[154]
candles would have formed instead of one. But hold on a minute, if the same transaction
[159]
took place, and the same number of buyers and sellers participated on both these charts,
[165]
these two charts tell the same story right? and the only difference is the time? Well,
[170]
you are absolutely right!
[173]
Candlestick pattern tells you a story about what happened in the last few candles. And
[177]
the bullish engulfing patterns shows you that buyers took over the sellers. But what many
[183]
beginner traders don't pay attention to, is the time. Your engulfing pattern is limited
[188]
to your chart timeframe. If you look at the charts on the 15 minute timeframe and an engulfing
[194]
pattern forms, it indicates that buyers in the last 15 minutes took over the sellers
[198]
from the 15 minutes before that. This information is good, especially if the engulfing pattern
[204]
forms near a support area. Let's say you are waiting for the price to reach your support
[209]
level, you are waiting for some kind of entry signal, like a candlestick pattern to form
[214]
near the support area. If an engulfing pattern appears, good for you, now you have an open
[219]
position, let's hope it makes profit. Oh look at that, it made a profit. You took a trade
[225]
using an engulfing pattern and it worked. But what if, instead of engulfing the last
[230]
two candles in 1 15 minute candle, it doesn't move much for the first 13 minutes, and starts
[236]
to make a big move up in the last 2 minutes. Since you were focused on your 15 minute timeframe,
[242]
buyers according to you, got interested in buying at the end of this candle. When the
[246]
price started to go up, the 15 minute candle ended, and a new 15 minute candle appeared.
[253]
So the upward move continued on the next 15 minute candle. Now, no engulfing pattern was
[259]
formed, even though the same number of buyers and sellers participated in this upward move.
[265]
At the start of this video, when I asked which one is the engulfing pattern, If you said
[269]
only the third one, then you would have missed this trading opportunity and the profit, because
[274]
there was no candlestick entry signal.
[277]
If you answered that all of them are telling the same story, then you would enter this
[281]
trade right here, because you saw that buyers still took over the sellers just like they
[285]
would in a engulfing pattern. And the only reason you don't see an engulfing pattern,
[290]
is because one candle ended and the other one started when the price started the big
[295]
move up. Furthermore, we can still see that this is an engulfing pattern, if we switch
[300]
to the 30 minute timeframe. Since you were watching the chart on the 15 minutes time
[306]
frame, these two candles were formed on the 15 minutes time frame. So on the 30 minute
[312]
timeframe, these two candles will be one big engulfing candle.
[316]
The reason I said the first question will get two different answers was because, these
[321]
two charts tell the same thing but on different timeframes. If you have a little bit of experience
[327]
in reading trading charts, you can tell that they are telling the same story. On the 15
[332]
minutes time frame, one red candle was formed, and then a big candle completely engulfed
[338]
it. But if you look closely,聽on the 5 minutes time frame, price was moving slowly in the
[344]
downward direction. It took 5 candles just to make this small downward move. But then
[350]
suddenly, in just two candles, price made an upward move, that was higher than 5 candles.
[356]
If two candles made a move, that took more than 5 candles to make, by only looking at
[361]
the 5 minutes timeframe, you can imagine that this price action will form an engulfing pattern
[366]
on the higher timeframe. Similarly, if it took three 15 minutes candles to make this
[372]
move, where the price ended approximately where it started, you can imagine how the
[377]
same price action will look combined on the higher timeframe.
[381]
As you can see, all three charts I showed at the start, are from the same forex pair,
[386]
just the timeframe is different. And now you can see how they all are telling the same
[391]
story. That's why both of the answers are right. Only the third one is the engulfing
[397]
pattern, but if you look at charts differently and imagine how it will look to different
[401]
traders on different time frames, for you they are the same thing, because they are
[406]
pretty much telling the same story.
[409]
But how to use this information to our advantage? Instead of showing you a random trade, I will
[414]
show you the trade I actually took on the 6th of November. This is the trade I shared
[419]
on the Trading Rush Patreon Page on the 6th Nov. As you can see, at first, I took a short
[425]
trade but the price touched the stoploss immediately. But right after my stoploss was hit, price
[431]
had a big rejection from the resistance area. The two 5 minutes candles at the resistance
[436]
area looked like this. And if you imagine how they will look on the 10 minute timeframe,
[442]
you can see that the resulting candle looks like another candlestick pattern. And this
[447]
candle opened below the resistance area, tried to go above the resistance area, had a big
[452]
rejection from above, and closed below the resistance area. In simple words, even though
[458]
it looks like the price has crossed above the resistance and is going to go up, it is
[463]
actually showing signs of going down. So I took another short trade, and this time it
[468]
made a profit, because the price made a move down. Furthermore, the previous loss was recovered,
[476]
because the trades achieved a 2.5 times more profit than the loss.
[480]
So the point is, candlestick patterns in trading can give a lot of information about the price
[485]
movement, but always remember how they are formed and don't ignore the hidden candlestick
[491]
patterns. Because then you might see what many beginners don't.
