Pay Attention to the Signal Candle Along with Reversal Candle

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a combination of an H1-15M chart trading strategy. The price makes a strong bullish move and makes a long bearish correction. It produces several bullish reversal candles, but the price does not react to all of them. It makes its bullish move at last. We try to find out why it reacts to that particular bullish reversal candle. Let us get started.

This is an H1 chart. The chart shows that the price produces a bullish engulfing candle and heads towards the North. The buyers are to wait for the price to make a bearish correction and produce a bullish reversal candle to go long again in the pair. The last candle comes out as a hanging man. It may make the pair make a bearish correction. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what happens next.

The price makes a long bearish correction. It produces several bullish reversal candles. However, it does not make its bullish move. If we spot out, we find that there have been three significant bullish reversal candles. To make things clearer, have a look at the chart below.

Here are the three most significant bullish reversal candles that the chart produces. On the first two occasions, the price does not head towards the North. Let’s try to dig out what happens on the first occasion. On the first occasion, the chart produces a bullish engulfing candle. This is one of the strongest bullish reversal candles. The buyers are to flip over to the 15M chart. If the 15M chart produces a bullish continuation candle, they may trigger a long entry. Over here, the 15M chart does not produce a bullish continuation candle. Thus, the price does not head towards the North. On the second occasion, the 15M chart produces a bullish continuation candle. You can assume by the look of the next H1 candle. However, the price does not continue its move or makes a breakout at the highest high. The reason behind that is the reversal candle comes out as an Inside bar. On the third occasion, the reversal candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. Let us flip over to the 15M chart.

Look at the arrowed candle. This is what comes out after the bullish engulfing candle. The buyers have been waiting to get a candle like this after a strong H1 bullish reversal candle. They may trigger a long entry right after the candle closes (15M). Let us find out how the price moves now.

It moves towards the North with good bullish momentum. We must notice that when two factors come together, the price reacts vigorously. We may find that sometimes the price moves on the case of the second occasion as well. However, when it meets two of them together (H1 bullish engulfing and 15M bullish continuation and vice versa), most likely, it goes towards the trend and helps traders make money.

Thank you so much for this highly useful article. I just want to know what is the strength of this signal (can it be measured in pips)

However, when it meets two of them together (H1 bullish engulfing and 15M bullish continuation and vice versa) this statement is it applicable to hammer/inverted hammer reversal candle as well?
