In today’s lesson, we will demonstrate an example of an H4 chart that makes a breakout heading towards the North. However, the chart does not offer entry. We try to find out the reason behind it.

It is an H4 chart. The chart shows that the price makes a good bullish move. Thus, the weekly candle ends up being a bullish candle. Let us proceed to the next chart to see how the price starts next week.

The first candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. However, the support level where the price had a bounce and headed towards the North is intact. The buyers may eye on the chart for the price to have a bounce and make a bullish breakout at the weekly high.

The chart produces a bullish inside bar. The candle is produced right at the level of support. It is not a strong bullish reversal candle, but things look good for the buyers.

The chart produces three more bullish candles breaching the level of resistance. The buyers are to wait for the price to consolidate and produce a bullish reversal candle to offer them a long entry.

The price keeps heading towards the North without having consolidation. In naked eyes, it seems that the price has traveled a long way. If it consolidates now, should the buyers go long?

The chart produces a bearish candle. It means the price may consolidate now. The breakout level is far away. If the price makes a bearish correction up to the breakout level, it will come out as a long bearish wave. This often changes the trend or makes the price get choppy, at least. Let us draw a Fibonacci Extension and explain it with the Fibonacci levels.

We know when the price makes a breakout; Fibonacci Extension can be used to determine the wave’s length. The breakout length is measured at 23.6%. The best level for the price to consolidate within 23.6% to 38.2% or 38.2% to 50.0%. Over here, the price consolidates within 61.8% to 78.6%. It means the price does not have much space to travel. Thus, the buyers may skip taking entry on this chart as far as the risk-reward ratio is concerned. The price may go up to the level of 100.0%, but it often ends up being choppy or makes a reversal in such cases. This is when Fibonacci Extension comes out as a handy tool with what traders can determine the trend’s potential length and calculate whether they should take an entry or not.

Do Not Be Biased, Take Decisions According to the Chart

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart that makes a good bullish move but ends up having a rejection at a double top resistance. The price then shows the potential to make a bullish breakout. However, it has another rejection around the last week’s high and makes a bearish breakout. It looks good for the sellers at the time. We find out what happens afterward.

The price then shows the potential to make a bullish breakout. However, it has another rejection around the last week’s high and makes a bearish breakout. It looks good for the sellers at the time. We find out what happens afterward.

This is the H4 chart. The price makes a long bullish move. It ranges for a while and then continues its bullish journey again. Look at the last candle on the chart. It comes out as a bearish inside bar. Do not miss the point that the candle is produced right at the resistance, where the price has had a rejection.

The chart produces a bullish candle to start the next week. It then ranges for a while and produces two bullish candles. It seems that the price may head towards the North and makes a bullish breakout at the last weekly high.

It does not. It rather finds its resistance around the same level. Moreover, it produces a bearish engulfing candle. To be more precise, the chart produces an evening star. It is a strong bearish reversal candle. Let us wait and see what the price does next.

The chart produces a long bearish candle breaching the last swing low. The breakout is significant since the price trends from the last weekly low. The sellers may keep their eyes in the pair to go short. Before going short on this chart, the sellers shall wait for the price to make a bullish retracement since the price is within the last weekly range. Keep that in mind that the price is to make a bullish correction to offer a short entry.

The price does not make a bullish correction. It rather consolidates and produces a bearish reversal candle. Since the price is within the last weekly range, so it is not a short signal.

Here it goes. The price gets choppy. This chart becomes a risky chart to trade. Thus, traders might as well skip eyeing on the chart to trade at. At first, it looks good for the buyers. Then, it shows potential for the Bear to dominate since the price has several rejections at the same level. However, it ends up being an extremely choppy chart.  Thus, do not be biased with your initial assumption. Wait for the breakout, confirmation, and then trade.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart where the price makes an H4 breakout at the last week’s low. However, the chart does not offer entries. It rather gets choppy. We will try to find out the reason behind that. Let us get started.

It is an H4 chart. The chart shows that the price makes a bearish move and had a bullish correction. Upon producing a bearish engulfing candle, it heads towards the South again. The market is about to close for the weekend, and the sellers are going to wait for the H4 chart to make a bearish breakout and go short in the pair.

The chart produces a Doji candle to start its trading week. The next candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. It seems that the pair is going to make an H4 breakout at the week’s low soon.

The chart produces a long bearish candle closing well below the week’s low. It does not consolidate but produces a spinning top with a bearish body. The chart looks bearish, and the sellers may love to wait for the price to consolidate and to offer them a short entry. The question is whether they should wait to go short in the pair or not.

Look at those two drawn lines. One at the above indicates the highest high of the current week. The other one at the bottom indicates the lowest low of the last week. The difference between these two lines is vital. It determines the length of the next move. Usually, the price travels twice the distance of that length with good momentum. Once it travels three times that distance, the price usually makes longer consolidation or correction. The price travels three times that distance here. Thus, it may make a long bullish correction.

The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle followed by another bullish candle closing within the last week’s lowest low. The chart then creates an inverted hammer and drives the price towards the South. Look at the pace of that bearish move. It has been sluggish, and it suggests that the sellers are not interested in going short in this chart. The price has been roaming around the last swing low for quite a while. In a word, the H4 traders must wait for the price to give them the next direction. Meanwhile, it is a chart not to invest money and time in.

Let us now proceed and find out how the entry goes.

The price heads towards the South with good bearish momentum. It produces three bullish inside bars in this move. The last candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle.

It is a daily chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The last candle comes out as an inverted hammer with a tiny bullish body. The long upper shadow suggests that the price has a strong rejection at a level of resistance. Nevertheless, the candle has a bullish body, and the candle closes above its last candle’s highest high.

Trendline Trading: Be Sensible to Count or Not to Count Shadows

We are going to demonstrate an example of trendline trading in today’s lesson. The price, after being bearish, produces a bullish engulfing candle and heads towards the North. It makes a bearish correction and produces another bullish candle to make a bullish breakout at the last swing high. At the second bounce, the candles have tiny lower shadows. In the end, the pair makes another bullish move at the trendline’s support without counting those lower shadows at the second bounce. Let us now have a look at what and how that happens.

The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle and makes a breakout at the last swing high. It means the buyers may draw a trendline and wait for the price to come back at the trendline’s support to go long in the pair.

This is the drawn trendline, which is drawn by using the first two spikes. However, spikes at the second bounce are not counted. After the second bounce, the price heads towards the North, but it doesn’t come at the trendline’ support to offer a long entry to the buyers. As long as the price does not breach the trendline support, it is valid, and traders may wait for the price to come back at the trendline’s support and offer them a long entry.

Here it comes. The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle right at the trendline’s support. The buyers may go long right after the last candle closes by setting stop loss below the signal candle’s lowest low and by setting take profit with 1R. Let us find out how the trade goes.

The price hits 1R in a hurry. It then produces a spinning top. However, the next candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle, which suggests that the buyers may wait again for the price to come back at trendline’s support to take another long entry.

If we use spikes of the second bounce, the trendline’s support would have more space for the price to travel. We have used spikes of the first bounce and candle’s bodies of the second bounce. Since both spikes of the second bounce cannot be added with a line, it is better to skip it. Moreover, the price at the third bounce produces a bullish engulfing candle. Most probably, the price is going to obey the trendline. This is what happens here, and this is what usually happens with a trendline.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart where the price makes a bullish move from 78.6% Fibonacci level. The 78.6% Fibonacci level often makes the price reverse towards the trend’s direction. In today’s example, the price produces a Morning Star and heads towards the trend’s direction with good bullish momentum. Let us see how it happens.

It is an H4 chart. The price produces double bottom and heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. On its way, it produces only a single bearish candle. The buyers are to wait for the price to make a bearish correction and to get a bullish reversal candle to go long with a good risk-reward in the pair.

The chart produces a bearish inside bar. Then, it produces one more bearish candle. Look at the last candle. It comes out as a doji candle. It seems that the price may have found its support.

Let us draw Fibonacci levels on the chart.

The chart shows that the price trends from 78.6% level. When the level of 78.6% makes the price move, it usually makes a reversal at 138.2%. Thus, if we set our take profit at 138.2%, we do not have to wait to get a bearish reversal candle to close our trade manually. It saves our time and gets us more pips too. This is why Fibonacci (extension/ retracement) is called a magic trading tool, since it helps traders in taking and exiting with precision.

However, Forex traders’ life is not as easy as it seems. Like other trading tools, Equidistant Channel needs adjustment. To be able to do that traders need enough knowledge and experience. Let us now proceed to find out what a trader may need to do to make it work for him.

To draw the equidistant channel, we need to find out at least four points. Two swing highs and two swing lows are the best combinations. It works with three swing highs and one swing low or vice versa. In the chart above, we have two swing highs and two swing lows. In naked eyes, it seems that we will be able to draw an equidistant channel here.

We have drawn an equidistant channel. The price is now at the resistance. Some traders go long from here. Ideally, to get a good risk-reward, traders should wait for the price to go at the level of resistance and produce a bearish reversal candle to go short in the pair. Let us find out what happens next.

The chart does not produce a bearish reversal candle. It breaches the level instead. It means this is not a valid equidistant channel anymore. The sellers must be disappointed. What do you think is there any twist in the tail?

The chart makes the new lowest low. It gives three swing highs and one swing low. It means we can draw another equidistant channel. Look at the above chart where the price getting a bounce at the level of support. The price again heads towards the North. Traders may wait for the price to get a rejection at the level of resistance and produce a bearish reversal candle to go short in the pair again.

Here it comes. The level of resistance produces a bearish engulfing candle right at the level of resistance. Traders may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes. To set take profit, they may use the level of equidistant support. The price often keeps going down with a down-trending equidistant channel. However, the best practice is closing down the trade at the first bounce in case of down-trending equidistant channel trading. Let us find out how the trade goes.

The price hits take profit level like a rocket. Some may regret that they should hold the position and close it manually. Do not forget the rule of sticking with the rule in forex trading. We have seen that the chart does not produce a signal on the first occasion. It rather breaches and lets traders draw another equidistant channel. Yes, it does offer an excellent entry for the sellers too.

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.

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.

This is the daily chart. The chart shows that the price, after being bullish, has a rejection at the level of resistance marked with the red line. The price comes down and makes a bullish move again. If it makes a breakout, the buyers may push the price further up. On the other hand, sellers are to wait for the price to produce a bearish reversal candle to consider short opportunities. Let us find out what happens next.

The chart produces a bearish engulfing candle. Since it shows in the daily chart, the combination traders may flip over to the H4 chart to look for a short opportunity. A double top resistance and a bearish engulfing candle suggest the sellers may jump in here to drive the price towards the South further.

It is the H4 chart. The chart produces a double top and makes a breakout at the neckline. The combination traders are to wait for the price to consolidate and produce a bearish reversal candle to go short below consolidation support. The price consolidates here. However, considering consolidation length, it is better to skip such entry.

The price heads towards the South with extreme bearish pressure. It travels a long way to produce a bullish reversal candle. The sellers would love to get the reversal candle earlier though. Anyway, it is better late than never.

The chart produces a bearish engulfing candle closing well below consolidation support. The sellers may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop-loss above consolidation resistance with 1R.

The price heads towards the South with good bearish momentum and hits the target. It seems that the price may travel towards the South further. The point to be noticed here is that the chart consolidates after traveling a long way. It would give a better reward if it consolidated and produced the signal candle earlier. It makes the sellers wait for more as well. In the end, the sellers make a profit out of it but think how hard they are to concentrate on it to make it work for them.Traders’ life is not as easy as some people may think.

The price does not head towards the breakout direction after triggering the entry as expected. It is Friday and the market is going to close. The question is whether we hold the position during the weekend or close the position. Let us find this out.

This is an H4 chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The last candle comes out as a bearish inside bar. The chart belongs to the buyers. The price may make a bearish reversal from here. The sellers must wait to get a strong bearish reversal pattern to go short in the pair.

The chart produces another bearish candle followed by a doji candle. The buyers may wait for the price to make a breakout at the wave’s highest high to go long in the pair.

The price heads towards the North but does not make a bullish breakout. If the chart produces a bearish reversal candle around the level, it may get bearish. On the other hand, the buyers may still be hopeful that they get a bullish breakout to push the price towards the North further.

The sellers do not expect that. However, this is how the market goes. The market is going to close within three hours. Do the sellers close the position?

It is an H4 chart. If it were other intraday charts such as the H1, 15 M, 5M, we may close the position. In this case, the reversal candle is an engulfing candle; the reversal pattern is a double top; the price consolidates accordingly, and the signal candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle as well. Thus, considering these factors the sellers may hold the position.

The sellers may wait for the chart to make a breakout and offer them a short entry here since the level is a double top resistance.

The chart does not make a breakout, but it produces a long bullish engulfing candle. It gets rejected again and heads towards the South. Upon having a bounce, it heads towards the North.

Evaluate Whether the Chart Belongs to Your Strategy or Not?

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of an H1 chart, where the price makes a bearish breakout and produces a bearish reversal candle upon making a bullish correction.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of an H1 chart, where the price makes a bearish breakout and produces a bearish reversal candle upon making a bullish correction. However, things do not go as the sellers would like. Let us find out what happens and what the reason may imply.

The chart shows that the price produces two bearish candles consecutively. The level of support seems to be a strong one. It may produce a bullish reversal candle and push the price towards the North. However, the sellers may wait for the price to make a bearish breakout at the level of support.

Here it comes. The next candle breaches the level of support closing well below the level. This is one good-looking breakout candle. The sellers are to wait for the price to consolidate or make a bullish correction to produce a short signal.

The price makes a bullish correction. The last candle closes within the breakout level. Please pay attention to the number of candles the chart uses to make the bullish correction. The chart takes five candles to complete the correction. It means the level of support has become H4 support. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The chart produces a bearish inside bar. This is a bearish reversal candle, of course. However, the question may be raised here whether the sellers take a short entry depending on the H1 chart or not? Let us assume that a seller triggers a short entry by setting stop-loss above the breakout level.

The next candle comes out as a bearish candle. However, the last candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. The level is H4 support now. Thus, the buyers may look to go long in the pair and drive the price towards the North. It does not look good for the seller. The price may hit stop loss.

The next candle comes out as a strong bullish candle closing well above the breakout level. The short entry has been wiped off. If we consider the sequence bearish breakout, bullish correction, bearish reversal candle at the breakout level, it seems perfect to go short in the pair. What goes wrong here? In the Forex market, any entry may go wrong. However, over here, the H1 sellers may miss the point that the support is not H1 support anymore. It is H4 support since the level of support holds five candles. This is why the H1 traders may skip taking the short entry in this chart. It often happens in combination trading that traders forget to calculate or synchronize the chart that they are trading at. However, to be successful in trading, traders must not miss this point.

An Inside Bar is considered the weakest reversal candle as far as candlestick trading is concerned. However, in today’s article, we find out the significance of a daily Inside Bar in the daily-H4 chart combination trading. Let us get started.

This is the daily chart. The chart shows that the last candle comes out as a bearish Inside Bar. The daily chart traders may still think that the chart is bullish biased. However, the daily-H4 chart combination traders are to flip over to the H4 chart and look for short entries since it is a bearish reversal candle after all.

The H4 chart looks to be tailor-made for the sellers. The chart produces a double top, and the price breaches the neckline. The last candle comes out as a doji candle. The price may consolidate now.

The chart produces another bearish candle closing within the same resistance. Then, it creates a bullish engulfing candle. Let us draw two lines here. The level of support looks very evident. However, the level of resistance still has a lot to prove.

The level of resistance produces a bearish reversal candle. To be precise, it creates a bearish engulfing candle, closing below the level of resistance. The sellers may trigger entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop-loss above the level of resistance and by setting take profit with 1R.

The price heads towards the South in the next candle as well. It seems that the sellers may not have to wait too long to achieve their target. Let us proceed to the following chart to find out how it goes.

This is what we have just demonstrated in the daily-H4 chart combination trading.

To sum up the lesson, an Inside Bar may not be a strong reversal signal in the chart. For the chart combination traders, it is a bit different. As long as it is a reversal candle does not matter how weak it is. The combination traders may flip over to the counterpart and wait for consolidation and a signal candle to trigger entry.

If we draw a level by using the significant level, which has been working as the level of resistance, we see that the last candle breaches the level. This means the piercing may be considered a breakout. Let us now flip over to the H1 chart.

This is how the H1 chart looks. The chart shows that the last candle comes out as a Spinning Top. The H4-H1 buyers are to wait for the price to consolidate and to get a bullish reversal candle to go long in the pair. Let us wait and see what the price does.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of an H4 chart offering two entries. The first one does not create enough bullish momentum right after the breakout, but the second one does. Let us now get started.

The chart shows that after being bearish for a long while, the chart produces two bullish candles consecutively. The H4 traders may keep their eyes on the daily chart to get a daily bullish reversal. Then, consolidation followed by an H4 bullish reversal candle would be the signal to go long in the pair.

The price starts having a bearish correction. The buyers are to wait for a bullish reversal candle first to go look for a long opportunity. The price is at a significant level, where it reacted earlier several times. The reversal candle might be around the corner.

Yes, the chart produces a bullish Inside bar. It is not a strong bullish reversal candle, but it is a sign that the price may get bullish soon, considering other factors. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The next candle comes out as a bullish candle with a long bullish body having a tiny upper shadow. The buyers may trigger a long entry right after the candle closes by setting stop loss below consolidation support and by setting take profit with 1R.

The next candle comes out as a bearish inside bar. The buyers usually would love to see the price head towards the trend’s direction after triggering entry. It does not happen here. However, it does not look too bad.

What a surprise! The chart offers one more entry. Look at the last candle, which comes out as a bullish engulfing candle closing well above consolidation resistance. Some buyers may trigger another entry. Yes, it is a debatable issue whether traders should take multiple entries in the same pair. At least, if traders miss the first chance, they may consider taking entry here. Let us find out what the price does next.

The price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. It hits the buyers’ target with ease. On the second occasion, the bullish engulfing candle forming right at consolidation support makes the pair very bullish. On the first occasion, the price does not get that bullish after the signal candle. On any day, the second signal is better than the first one. Some traders do not like taking multiple entries, which is fair enough. If a trader does not mind taking multiple entries, he may as well consider taking entry if it is a better trade setup than the last one with relatively a smaller lot than his usual trading lot.

Some entries are there to be taken, and some are there not to be taken. We would try to find out why we shall skip taking some entries. Let us get started.

This is an H4 chart. The chart shows that the price makes a strong bullish move and consolidates for a long time. The last candle comes out as a bullish candle breaching consolidation resistance. It usually a scenario of taking a long entry. Before taking an entry, we must calculate whether the price consolidates for more than a day or not. Over here, the price consolidates more than a day. It means the level of resistance becomes daily resistance. The breakout is not for the H4-daily combination traders to trigger a long entry.

The chart shows that the price heads towards the North. The buyers may wait for the price to consolidate and get a bullish reversal candle to go long in the pair. They must keep their eyes on the pair.

The chart produces a bearish inside bar. It may consolidate more and make a deeper consolidation. This is what the buyers are to hope for. Let us find out what the price does here.

The chart shows that the price consolidates for five candles altogether. The last bullish candle is the last H4 candle of that day. It means if the chart produces the next candle as a bullish engulfing candle, the buyers will have an opportunity to go long in the pair. Otherwise, they are to wait longer.

The last candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle breaching consolidation resistance. The buyers may trigger a long entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop loss below consolidation support and by setting take profit with 1R.

The price consolidates again and produces a bullish engulfing candle. It seems the bull is going to dominate in the pair for a long time since it finds another level of support. When price trends like that, traders add more positions, and the price keeps trending relatively for a longer time.

Here it is. The price hits the target of 1R. They buyers grab some green pips. Yes, they wait for the price to hit the target. Some traders may take a partial profit out of it and let the rest of the trade run to grab more pips.

In this lesson, we have demonstrated that traders may take the second entry and skip the first one because of the daily resistance factor. Traders must calculate these things before taking entry.

The H1 chart shows that the price makes a strong bearish move and finds its support. The black marked level is the level of H1 support here. The price moves towards the North with two candles and may have found its resistance. One of the candles comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. Traders are to wait for an H1 breakout followed by a 15M bearish reversal candle to go short in the pair. Let us see what happens here.

The chart produces one more bearish candle followed by a doji candle. It means the price consolidates in this chart. The next candle closes just below the level of support. Ideally, this is not a perfect breakout candle. However, the price consolidates and produces an H1 bearish reversal candle (the last candle). This is a signal that the price may get bearish and head towards the South. Let us flip over to the 15M chart.

The 15M chart shows that the last candle comes out as a bullish candle. Do not forget that H1 candle closes with a bearish body. Thus, a 15M bearish reversal candle (preferably engulfing candle) will push the price towards the South.

Look at the last 15M candle. It comes out as a bearish engulfing candle closing well below the last candle. This means the price may head towards the South with good bearish momentum. Let us proceed to the next chart with Fibonacci levels to find out how far the price heads to.

The price trends from the 78.6% level and reaches 161.8%. Usually, the 78.6% Fibo level drives the price towards the level of 138.2% with good momentum. It often reaches up to the level of 161.8% because of momentum. However, we may set our target at 138.2% if it trends from 78.6%. Another point you may have noticed is that we draw Fibonacci levels by using the lowest low, not the H1 support. These are two different things.

If the H1 chart makes a straight breakout, we may wait for a 15M reversal candle to take entry. If it consolidates and produces an H1 reversal candle, we may trigger entry if 15M chart produces a strong reversal candle closing well below the wave’s lowest low. Do some backtesting; you will see many charts where the price makes a move like this. Stay tuned. We will reveal more examples of this.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of an H4-daily chart combination trading. The lesson has an important message to remember for the H4-Daily combination traders. Let us get started.

The chart shows that the price produces a double top and heads towards the South with good bearish momentum. The daily candle closes as a bearish Marubozu candle having no lower shadow at all. The next trading day starts with a Spinning Top. It seems that the H4 chart starts having consolidation. The last H4 candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. This looks good for the sellers that the price is having consolidation after making a good bearish move. However, the H4-Daily combination traders must not forget one thing that the signal is to be produced within the next two candles. Otherwise, it becomes daily support.

The fifth H4 candle of the day comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. The candle closes well below consolidation support. The sellers may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop-loss above consolidation resistance and by setting take profit with 1R.

The next candle comes out as a bullish inside bar after triggering the entry. The sellers would love to get a long bearish candle here. However, a bullish inside bar suggests that the bear still holds the key. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The next candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. This looks extremely good for the sellers now. The price finds another resistance. This attracts sellers to add more short positions. Anyway, the H4-Daily combination traders are to wait for the price to hit their 1R take profit.

The price takes two more candles to hit the target. I would say that the price hits the target at a moderate pace here. Anyway, the H4-Daily combination strategy offers entry, and the trade setup works well for the sellers.

The message this lesson has is that we must not get carried away with bullish or bearish move followed by consolidation. The H4 chart is to produce a trade signal within the next day. If it does not, that chart does not belong to the H4-Daily combination trading strategy.  If it does, then the H4-Daily combination traders may trigger an entry.

Double Top-Engulfing Combination and Trade Management

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of daily-H4-combination trading. The trade setup starts with a double top, and the trend-initiating candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. The price consolidates and produces another bearish engulfing candle closing below consolidation support. We find out what happens next and how we may manage the trade to get the best result out of it.

The price consolidates and produces another bearish engulfing candle closing below consolidation support. We find out what happens next and how we may manage the trade to get the best result out of it.

This is an H4 chart. The chart shows that the price produces a double top. At the second rejection, the reversal candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle and drives the price towards the South with good bearish momentum. Upon finding its support, it consolidates for a while and produces another bearish engulfing candle. We know what the daily-H4 combination traders are to do here.

The daily-H4 combination traders may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop-loss above consolidation resistance and by setting take profit with 1R. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what the price does after triggering the entry.

The next candle comes out as a bearish candle as well. It looks good for the sellers. It seems the price may not take too long to hit the target of 1R. Let us proceed to the next chart.

It does not look good for the sellers now. The last candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. It suggests that the price may get bullish and hit the stop loss. Since this is an H4 chart, traders are to manage their trades according to the candlestick. The entry is carrying a loss now. Traders have three options here.

  1. They may close the whole entry
  2. They may let the whole trade run
  3. They may close 50% of the entry

It depends on an individual trader how he likes to manage his trades. Some traders may want to keep the whole trade, and some may want to close the whole trade. There is a saying that cut your losses short and let your profit run. Thus, we may manage the trade by closing half of it and let the rest of it run. This is how we earn or lose 50% of the initial target. Let us see how it goes now.

The chart produces a spinning top and heads towards the downside. The last candle comes out a hammer, but it hits the target of 1R. This means the trade setup brings profit for the sellers. It may have gone another way round. Thus, in such a situation, taking out half of the trade offers us less profit but less loss as well in the end. It does not always happen. However, when it does, we may consider managing the trade by doing it so.

The H1-15M Breakout Trading: Concentrate on Breakout and Reversal Candle

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a trade setup based on the H1-15M chart combination. Usually, the straighter the first move, the better it is.  However, the price sometimes consolidates in the first arm as well. Such consolidation makes a move look weak and may hold us back from eyeing on the chart. We try to find out whether we should skip eyeing on such a chart or not.

Such consolidation makes a move look weak and may hold us back from eyeing on the chart. We try to find out whether we should skip eyeing on such a chart or not.

This is an H1 chart. The chart shows that the price makes a bullish move. Then, it produces a bearish inside bar followed by a bullish engulfing candle. The H1-15M buyers may flip over to the 15M chart to get a 15M bullish reversal candle to trigger a long entry. However, those two bearish H1 candles suggest that the 15M chart does not produce any bullish reversal candle after the H1 breakout. The price starts having a bearish correction instead.

The chart makes its bullish move, followed by a bearish correction. The bullish move does not look that impressive. It consolidates before making the bearish correction. Many traders may skip eyeing on this chart to go long in the pair. Ideally, the H1-15M combination trading requires an H1 breakout followed by a 15M bullish reversal to offer a long entry. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what the price does here.

The price finds its support and heads towards the North. The last candle closes above the level of resistance. This is an H1 breakout. The H1-15M combination traders are to flip over to the 15M chart to trigger a long entry. Let us flip over to the 15M chart first.

This is how the 15M chart looks right after the H1 breakout. If the price comes back to the breakout level, and the level produces a 15M bullish reversal candle, the buyers may trigger a long entry.

The 15M chart produces a bearish engulfing candle closing within the breakout level. The next candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. The H1-15M buyers may trigger a long entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop loss below consolidation support and by setting take profit with 1R.

The price never looks back before hitting 1R. It heads towards the North at a very good pace. Consolidation and bullish reversal candle come out exactly the buyers would want to get. Do not forget that the first bullish move does not look that impressive. The breakout and 15M chart’s price action attract the buyers to go long here, though. This is what we are to look for in the H1-15M combination trading. It is good if the price makes a strong move in the first arm. However, if it does not, we may still eye on the chart to see whether it makes an H1 breakout and offers us an entry by producing a 15M bullish reversal candle.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart, which may entice traders to take entry more than once. Some traders may get themselves engaged in taking entry. We find out why we price action traders skip taking those entries. Let us get started.

This is an H4 chart. The price makes a strong bearish move by producing three consecutive Marubozu bearish candles. The last candle comes out as a doji candle. The price may consolidate now. The sellers are to wait for a strong bearish reversal candle upon consolidation to go short in the pair. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The chart produces a bearish Marubozu candle again. As a reversal candle, it is a strong one. However, the price has not consolidated well. It has produced the bearish reversal candle upon having a shallow consolidation. Moreover, the last candle does not close below the level of support. Thus, the sellers may skip taking the entry but wait for the right time to come. The chart still looks good for the sellers.

The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle. The price may make a deeper consolidation this time. The sellers may keep their eyes on the chart again to go short in the pair. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what happens next.

The price makes a deeper consolidation. Upon finding its resistance, it makes a bearish move. It seems that the price may make a breakout here. A question may be raised here whether the sellers on the H4 chart shall take the entry or not? We find out the answer in a minute. Meanwhile, let us proceed to the next chart.

The next H4 candle closes well below the level of support. The pair trades below the breakout level for one more candle as well. However, the sellers on the H4 chart may skip taking the entry. The reason behind that is the chart takes more than six candles (a day) to make the breakout. This level of support is a daily level of support now. Thus, the sellers may take the trading decision as far as the daily chart is concerned. If they take their trading decision by observing the H4 chart, it may not be that fruitful. The risk-reward may not be a good one. It may not end up being a daily breakout, but the price may come back in. Or, the daily chart may produce a bullish corrective candle next day, which makes the price hit the H4 sellers stop loss. Thus, in such cases, they might have to take losses only because the pair belongs to the daily chart. Thus, for better trading, traders shall take a closer look before taking entry on a chart to determine whether it favors their trading chart.

This time the price makes the move with good bullish momentum. The Fibonacci traders are to wait for the price to make a downside correction and draw Fibonacci levels to go long in the pair. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out whether it starts having downside correction or heads towards the North further.

This is an interesting move by the chart. It has a bearish gap, but the candle comes out as a bullish candle. Despite having an upper shadow, this is a bullish reversal candle. Let us find out how the price reacts upon getting such a bullish reversal candle.

The price heads towards the North with extreme bullish momentum. The bull outplays the bear. This is such a strong bullish move that the buyers would love to make full use of it. Do you notice something interesting? Yes, the price trends from the 61.8% zone. Let us draw the Fibonacci levels and see how it looks.

The chart shows that despite having a bearish gap, the chart produces a bullish candle within 61.8% zone and heads towards the North. It hits the level of 161.8% in a hurry as well. This is what the Fibonacci golden ratio level does almost all the time. There are different ways of trading and catch such a move. Some traders enter before the breakout, while some enter after the breakout at the highest high of the wave. Both have merits and demerits, which we will learn in our forthcoming Fibonacci lessons. Meanwhile, concentrate on your chart and practice drawing Fibonacci levels by pointing out the highest high and the lowest low. Start practicing this, so you get well acquainted with Fibonacci significant levels and how the price reacts to them. This will help you trade much better soon.

The Longer It Ranges, The Harder It Breaks

Price action traders usually look for entries on the chart that has a clear trend. However, even a choppy chart end up providing good entry to the traders. In today’s lesson, we are going to show how a choppy chart ends up producing a good entry. Let us get started.

The chart shows that the price has been choppy. It bounces at a level of support three times. As far as resistance is concerned, the price has a rejection at a level once and comes back down. Then, it heads towards the upside and finds its resistance getting rejection twice. The level of support seems stronger than the resistance here.

The price finds its resistance, and at the second rejection, it makes a breakout. As mentioned, the price bounces three times at the level of support. Thus, the breakout is strong as well. The sellers are to wait for the price to be held by the breakout level and a bearish reversal candle to go short in the pair.

The next candle comes out as a doji candle closing within the breakout level. The breakout comes out as a valid breakout. The sellers are to wait for the level to create a bearish reversal candle to trigger a short entry.

Here it comes. The last candle on the chart comes out as a bearish engulfing candle closing well below the last swing low. The sellers may trigger a short entry right after the candle closes by setting stop loss above the resistance and by setting take profit with 1R. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out how the entry goes.

The price heads towards the South with good bearish momentum. The price hits the take profit (1R). The last candle suggests that the price may head towards the South further. Some traders may take partial profits and let the rest of the trade run to make more pips.

The chart produces a bullish inside bar. The chart still favors the Bear. However, it may be time for the sellers to give it a second thought to close the whole trade. If we look at the chart, the price heads towards the downside and hits the target without producing any bullish candle in between. This is how it usually goes if the price makes a breakout within a long choppy market. Thus, traders may keep their eyes on the choppy charts to see whether the price makes a breakout to offer them an entry. A breakout in a choppy market is often very rewarding.

Example of a Breakout Unfit for an Entry

 

 

 

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a breakout on the H4 chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the North with good momentum. It makes a bullish breakout upon consolidation. However, the breakout is not the kind that the breakout traders look for. Thus, this is going to be an example which we should skip taking entry. Let us now have a look at what happens.

The chart shows that it produces a bullish candle followed by a bearish inside bar. The next candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. Do you notice something here? Yes, this is an entry for the buyers. However, this is not where we concentrate today. Let us proceed to the next chart to dig out the main story.

The price keeps going towards the North. The buyers are to wait for the price to consolidate and produce another bullish engulfing candle to offer them entry. The way it has been going, it seems that the buyers hold the key and dominate over the sellers.

The price makes a bearish correction and finds its support. The first bullish reversal candle comes out as a bullish inside bar. This is not a strong bullish reversal candle. It produces three more bullish candles but the price does not make a breakout at the level of resistance. The last candle closes within the level of resistance, which is a point to be noticed. It means even the next candle makes a breakout, it would be a breakout right from the level of resistance.

The next candle closes well above the level of resistance. This is a breakout but not the kind of breakout that the breakout buyers wait for. The price is trending towards the upside; it consolidates and makes a bullish breakout. These three equations suggest that the buyers may take a long entry. They must not forget that the breakout candle does not make an explicit breakout. If a breakout takes place by one bullish engulfing candle that brings momentum. Over here, it needs four candles to make the breakout. Moreover, the breakout candle forms right at the level of resistance (now support). The buyers may restrain themselves from taking such entry. Let us find out what the price does next.

The price comes back to the breakout level. This is what usually happens when the price does not make a breakout with an A+ breakout candle. The price may still head towards the North, but 1 out of 3 times, it may come back in and hits the stop loss. Thus, to have winning consistency, we might as well skip taking entry in such price action.

Shallow Consolidation to Skip, Deep Consolidation to Go For

In price action trading, consolidation length is a vital factor. The deeper the consolidation, the further the price goes towards the trend. Sometimes, shallow consolidation takes the price towards the trend direction as well. However, we may skip taking entry, when the price makes a shallow consolidation. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of these in the same chart.

Sometimes, shallow consolidation takes the price towards the trend direction as well. However, we may skip taking entry when the price makes a shallow consolidation. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of these in the same chart.

This is a daily chart. The price after being bearish produced a bullish engulfing candle. The breakout trading strategy traders are to wait for the price to consolidate and produce another bullish engulfing candle to offer them entry.

The price consolidates with a doji candle followed by a bullish engulfing candle. It makes a shallow consolidation. Moreover, the bullish engulfing candle has a long upper shadow. The buyers may skip taking the entry. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The chart shows that the last candle comes out as a bearish candle. If the price consolidates from here, it is going to be a deep consolidation. Let us wait for a bullish engulfing candle closing well above consolidation resistance to trigger a long entry.

Here it comes. The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle closing well above consolidation resistance. The buyers may trigger a long entry right after the candle closes. The last swing high is quite far, offering more than 1R.

The next candle comes out as a bullish candle as well. The candle has a long upper and a lower shadow. Nevertheless, it is a bullish candle. It looks good for the buyers. The price keeps going towards the North with good momentum. It looks the price hits the last swing high easily.

It does not take more than two candles to hit the last swing high. The last candle suggests that the price may go further up. However, the buyers may consider closing their entry or at least take partial profit. The plan has worked wonderfully well for the buyers.

In this chart, we have seen a shallow and a deep consolidation together. Both have offered entries. However, to be safe, we need to stick with the breakout trading strategy’s rule. We may skip taking entry when the price makes shallow consolidation. In most cases, shallow consolidation brings less liquidity. It means it often goes wrong. On the other hand, if the price makes a deep consolidation followed by an engulfing reversal candle, we may trigger an entry.

The chart shows that it makes a strong bullish move. Upon finding a level of resistance, it produces a bearish engulfing candle. The sellers may want to keep an eye in this pair to go short.

The price keeps going towards the South. The sellers must wait for the price to consolidate and produce a bearish reversal candle. The swing low is far enough, which offers the price to travel towards the South further.

Here it comes. The chart produces a bullish candle. The sellers are to be attentive here. The chart may produce a bearish reversal candle and offer a short entry to them. Do not miss the point that the price has a little bullish gap. The gap is not visible explicitly, but if you count the last candle’s opening and the closing one before it suggests that the price starts with a gap.

The chart produces a bearish engulfing candle closing well below consolidation support. The sellers may trigger a short entry right after the candle closes by setting stop-loss above the signal candle’s highest high. The space between the last swing low and the signal candle’s closing price suggests that the entry offers 1R. This should be enough to bring enough liquidity and drive the price towards the South.

As anticipated, the price heads towards the swing low and hits the target. The sellers achieve 1R here with ease. The last candle comes out as a bullish reversal candle since it closes within the previous candle’s lowest low. The sellers may want to close their whole trade and wait for the next one.

Price action breakout strategy works in 5M to the weekly chart. However, the daily, the H4, and the H1 are the three best charts that work best with the strategy. Usually, the gap creates confusion among traders. It creates more confusion among price action traders. In this example, we have demonstrated that the gap does not create confusion, but the Price Action Breakout Strategy works well as it usually does. The little gap may be one of the reasons. However, if the daily chart produces a trade setup like this, it does not usually go in vain.

Keeping an Eye on Some Levels Comes Handy

Forex price action trading requires a clearer chart. Traders are to keep an eye on candlesticks’ attributes, consolidation, reversal candle, and support/resistance levels. The last swing high and the last swing low are two levels that traders must count. However, the price often reacts to certain levels, where it reacts heavily earlier. We may keep an eye on those closely since they often offer entries. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of that.

The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle after being bearish for a long time. The buyers still hold the key. However, the sellers may keep start eyeing on the pair as well. The chart shows a pullback level in its bearish wave. The highest high is further up, though. Thus, if the price makes a bullish move from here, it would be a big one.

The price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The buyers are to wait for the price to consolidate and produce a bullish signal candle to go long on the pair. A level of resistance (drawn level) is nearby. The price may consolidate around the level. Thus, this is time for the buyers to keep an eye in the pair closely.

The price does not consolidate around the level of resistance, but it makes a breakout.  Some traders may think that they have wasted time here by keeping an eye on the pair, which is never right. In Forex trading, we need to invest money and time. After such a breakout, the price usually keeps going towards the trend’s direction for one or two more candles before having consolidation. Do not forget, it often consolidates around the breakout level and offers entry.

The chart produces one more bullish candle followed by a bearish candle. The last candle closes within the breakout level. This means the price is having consolidation around the breakout level. If the chart produces a bullish engulfing candle closing consolidation resistance, the buyers are going to push the price towards the North.

The buyers crave for getting such a good–looking bullish candle to go long from here. The equation is simple here. The buyers may trigger a long entry right after the candle closes. Let us find out how the entry goes.

The price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The buyers achieve their 1R easily here. The highest high is further up. Thus, it may remain bullish for some more candles.

The price may consolidate and offer entry at any level when it is trending. However, it tends to consolidate around some particular levels often. By spotting them out, we may make our trading life a bit easier.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of this.

The price after being rejected at a resistance level heads towards the South. It produces a bullish inside bar and heads towards the North again. The momentum suggests that the price may make a breakout at the level of resistance. Breakout traders are to keep an eye on the pair to get a breakout followed by breakout confirmation or reversal candle at the pullback to go long on the pair.

The last candle breaches through the level of resistance. Candle’s attributes suggest that this is an ideal breakout candle. The candle barley has the upper shadow. The breakout traders are to wait for either for the next candle to close above the breakout candle or the price to come back at the breakout level to consolidate and produce a bullish reversal candle to offer them a long entry.

The price does not head towards the North. It comes back at the breakout level closing within the breakout level. The breakout is still valid. However, the buyers must wait to get a bullish engulfing candle to close above consolidation resistance to trigger a long entry by setting stop loss below the breakout level. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what happens next.

The price breaches the level of support and closes well below the breakout level. The sellers may take control soon in the pair. Traders taking a long entry right after the breakout candle closing are to have a loss here. If they set stop loss below the lowest low, the risk-reward would not be lucrative. When the price breaches a breakout level, it usually generates more momentum and changes its trend. Let us see what happens here.

The price goes back to the breakout level. This time it makes a bullish correction. The equation changes completely another way round. If the chart produces a bearish engulfing candle closing below consolidation support, the sellers may go short and drive the price towards the lowest low.

The chart produces a bearish engulfing candle followed by another strong bearish candle. It looks like a different ball game completely now. It is now the sellers’ territory.

In the bullish market, the chart does not produce a bullish reversal candle; thus, the price gets bearish. In the bearish market, it produces a bearish reversal candle (engulfing) and offers entry to the sellers. By taking entry upon breakout confirmation, we may not find as many entries as we would like, but it gets us more consistency in winning trades.

Price Action Trading: Entries to Take and Entries to Skip

In today’s price action trading lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart that offers multiple entries. We try to spot out entry/entries that we may skip and the entry/entries we may take. We try to find out the reasons behind that as well. Let us get started.

In today’s price action trading lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart that offers multiple entries. We try to spot out entry/entries that we may skip and the entry/entries we may take. We try to find out the reasons behind that as well. Let us get started.

The price after being bullish for a long time produces a bearish reversal candle and heads towards the South. Look at the last candle. It comes out as a bullish inside bar. Price action traders start eyeing on such a chart to go short. However, the sellers would love to see the price have deeper consolidation.

The chart does not make a deep consolidation. It produces a bearish engulfing candle closing well below consolidation support. The trend and the reversal candle get 10 on 10, but the consolidation is not deep enough. It is not an A+ entry. It is best if we restrain ourselves from taking such entry. Let us proceed to the next chart.

Many of us may think an opportunity missed. Here is one added lesson on ‘ do not cry over spilled milk.’ Forex traders must obey this. Let us concentrate on the chart again. The last candle comes out as a very strong bearish candle. The pair may offer more short entries.

The chart produces a bullish inside bar again. The equation is simple for the sellers based on price action. The chart is to produce a bearish engulfing candle closing well below consolidation support. Let us proceed to the next chart.

Here it comes. This is one good-looking bearish engulfing candle closing well below consolidation support. The trend, consolidation length, and the bearish reversal candle all get 10 on 10. As far as price action breakout trading strategy is concerned, this is an A+ entry. Let us now find out how the entry goes.

It does not go according to our expectations. It rather produces a bullish inside bar again. It is an inside bar. Thus the sellers still hold the key here. The fact remains at the first consolidation, despite having shallow consolidation, the price heads towards the South with extreme bearish momentum. On the contrary, despite being an A+ entry, the price does not move according to the sellers’ expectations. It may even go towards the North and hits the stop loss. Then again, we must stick with our trading rules and be extremely disciplined. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what happens next.

Ah! What a move this is! The sellers make some green pips here. The chart makes them wait, but it pays them back. As mentioned, it could go another way. That does not mean we start thinking to change our strategies or start taking random entries. We must make sure we only take entries that get A+ after considering all the segments.

Price Action Trading: Support/Resistance and Breakout

Support and Resistance are the two most important things as far as price action trading is concerned. We often see that too many support levels/resistance levels are nearby being too close to each other. It may confuse us to be sure whether a breakout takes place or not. In today’s lesson, we try to find an answer to that. Let us get started.

We often see that too many support levels/resistance levels are nearby being too close to each other. It may confuse us to be sure whether a breakout takes place or not. In today’s lesson, we try to find an answer to that. Let us get started.

This is a daily chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the South after producing a bearish engulfing candle. Look at the last candle, which comes out as a bullish corrective candle. If the next candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle closing below consolidation support, the sellers may trigger a short entry.

The last candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle closing below consolidation support. The question is whether the sellers may trigger the entry or not. Look at those two drawn levels. The price reacts to those levels. Usually, price action traders count such levels to determine risk-reward or to set take profit level. Let us assume a trader takes the entry.

Typically, he should trigger the entry right after the last candle closes with 1R. Do not forget this is a daily chart. The daily chart usually offers more than 1R. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The price heads towards the South with extreme bearish pressure. As mentioned, it gets him more than 1R. It seems it may continue its bearish journey. At least the seller may hold his position until it produces a bullish reversal candle.

Here it comes. It produces a bullish inside bar. This is not a strong bullish reversal candle. However, some traders may consider come out with their profit or at least some part of it. Some sellers may still hold it until it produces a strong bullish reversal candle.

The last candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle. This time the sellers are to think twice whether they should hold the entry. Many price action traders close their entry here. The trade setup works excellently well here. However, do you remember those two more support levels? The price does not seem to react to those levels at all. You may notice this next time. When support/resistance levels stand too close to each other, the last level and the last breakout gets the priority (in 80% cases). However, if they have enough space in between, then they must be counted by the traders to calculate risk-reward or to set take profit.

A Pair Offering Multiple Entries on Different Charts

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of a chart, which ends up offering two breakout entries for the price action traders. There is a saying, “do not put all your eggs in the same basket.” Forex traders are to maintain this as well. However, sometimes we may have to do things a bit differently. Let us find out why and how.

There is a saying, “do not put all your eggs in the same basket.” Forex traders are to maintain this as well. However, sometimes we may have to do things a bit differently. Let us find out why and how.

This is a daily chart. The chart shows that a bearish engulfing candle followed by a bullish inside bar sets a strong bearish tone in the chart. If a bearish candle closes below consolidation support, the sellers may go short on the pair.

Here it comes. The last candle on this chart closes below consolidation support. This is an explicit breakout. The daily breakout traders may trigger a short entry right after the candle closes by setting their stop loss above the signal candle’s highest high and by setting their take profit with 1 R.

Here is something interesting you may have noticed. Since the daily chart is bearish biased, the H4 chart shall be bearish as well. Let us flip over to the H4 chart.

This is how the H4 chart looks. The price consolidates and produces a bearish reversal candle already, although it is not a deep consolidation. Let us not talk about it. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The last candle comes out as a bullish inside bar. This time there is a deep consolidation as well. If the chart produces a bearish engulfing candle, the sellers may trigger a short entry. Let us not forget that the daily breakout traders have already taken an entry.

The H4 chart produces a beautiful bearish engulfing candle closing below consolidation support. The H4 breakout traders may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop-loss above the signal candle’s highest high and by setting take profit with 1R.  Let us find out how the trade goes.

The price heads towards the South with extreme bearish pressure. Some H4 breakout traders may get 3R from this chart. Now the question may arise here is whether we should take an entry on the H4 chart as well? If we go by saying, “do not put all your eggs in the same basket’, we may not.

We actually should take the entry on the H4 chart as well after taking the first entry on the daily chart. First, we are not taking the second entry based on the daily chart. It is a different setup, although the strategy is the same. If we are confident and experienced in trading different charts, we are all right to take entry in the same pair. This usually brings us a bagful of pips.

A Thing You May Notice in the H1 Breakout Strategy

We are going to demonstrate an example of the H1 breakout strategy in today’s lesson. Usually, the H1 breakout strategy does not make traders wait too long to hit the target. However, if the breakout level is a double top or a double bottom level on the H4 chart, the price gets even more momentum to hit the target. Today’s breakout level is a double bottom level on the H4 chart. Let us now find out what happens after the breakout.

However, if the breakout level is a double top or a double bottom level on the H4 chart, the price gets even more momentum to hit the target. Today’s breakout level is a double bottom level on the H4 chart. Let us now find out what happens after the breakout.

After making a bearish move, the price makes a correction. The last candle on the chart comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. This means the price finds its resistance. If it heads towards the swing low and makes a breakout, price action sellers may jump into this chart to make some green pips by going short in the pair.

The last candle makes a breakout at the level of support. This is an explicit breakout. Please note that the price bounces at the same level earlier. This means this is a double bottom support level on the bigger chart. This is an H1 chart. Thus, this must be a double bottom support level of the H4 chart.

The next candle closes below the breakout candle. It confirms the breakout. The sellers may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop-loss above the level where the trend starts and setting the take profit with 1R.

The price heads towards the South with extreme pressure. The price is about to hit the target on the next candle after triggering the entry. It does not, but the sellers get their message. A strong bearish candle like this suggests that the pair would remain bearish at least for two more candles. That would be enough to hit the target.

The chart produces a bullish inside bar before hitting the target. If we count, it takes only three candles to hit take profit level. As mentioned, the H1 breakout strategy hits take profit level in a hurry. So does this one. If we calculate the next candle after the signal candle, we see that the candle comes out as a very strong bearish candle and generates strong bearish momentum. This is often seen when the H1 chart makes a breakout at a level, which is a double top or double bottom level on the H4 chart too. We do not need to concentrate on this if we aim to trade on the H1 breakout strategy. However, noticing such things help us be better traders to some extent.

In today’s lesson, we are going to show an example of a trade setup, which tests our psychology and ask us a big question. This situation is something that often happens with traders trading on the major pairs. We try to find out the answer to what we shall do in such a situation.

This is a daily chart. The price finds its support after being bearish for a long time. It produces a bullish engulfing pattern followed by another bullish candle. Using the daily-H4 combination, traders shall flip over to the H4 chart to get consolidation and a bullish reversal candle to go long above the last swing high. Let us flip over to the H4 chart.

The H4 chart suggests that the buyers may take control soon. A massive bullish engulfing candle followed by an inside bar bearish candle may attract the buyers to go long upon getting another bullish engulfing candle. The buyers are to keep their eyes on this chart since the chart may produce the signal candle anytime.

It does not produce the signal candle immediately. However, after a while, it produces a bullish engulfing candle closing above the last swing high. This is an A+ trade setup as far as the daily-H4 chart combination trading is concerned. The price makes a deep consolidation and produces the signal candle afterwards. This is what breakout traders love to see. A long entry may be triggered right after the last candle closes. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out what happens afterwards.

This must be painful for the buyers. The trade setup looks very good, but things have not been going as expected. The price comes back within the consolidation zone. This looks ominous for the buyers. Since this is an H4 chart, the buyers have the opportunity to look after their trade. They may ask themselves whether they should keep the entry or close it manually? I let you think about it for a minute.

If your answer is the buyers shall close the trade manually, you may not be right. The reason behind this is, once a trade is floating on a loss, traders shall leave it and let it finds its own way. If it hits the stop loss, let it hit it. Traders are to calculate this risk well before they take entry. If a trade is running on profit but acts unusual or gets sluggish at a significant level of support/resistance, that might be a different case. Although the chart suggests that most probably, the price is going to hit stop loss, the buyers shall hold the entry and concentrate on other pairs. If a trader wants to survive in this market for a long time, he must acquire this skill of getting over on a floating losing entry and concentrating on a new trade setup.

Never Forget to Calculate Risk-Reward

Risk-Reward is an extremely important factor in Forex trading. The price often makes a reversal at a significant level of swing high/swing low. Thus, price action traders must emphasize those levels before taking any entry. By calculating risk-reward, they should only take entry once a trade setup is found lucrative as far as the risk-reward ratio is concerned. In today’s article, we are going to demonstrate an example of a trade setup, which looks good with candlestick patterns and price action. However, things do not go as it usually goes. We try to find out the reason behind it.

We try to find out the reason behind it.

After being bearish for quite a while, the chart heads towards the North by producing a bullish inside bar. The chart presents a strong bullish candle followed by a corrective candle. This is what price action traders wait for. Ideally, they are to wait for a bullish engulfing candle closing above the consolidation resistance to go long on the pair. Do not miss the drawn level, which is the last significant swing high.

Here it comes. The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle closing well above the consolidation resistance. Some traders may think that they shall trigger a long entry right after the last candle closes. We must not forget that it is not only about candlestick and breakout. There is another factor, which is risk-reward. The reward does not look good comparing to the risk.

The next candle does not disappoint the buyers (if there are some). However, it gives a strong message that the level of resistance has gone stronger. The price may make a reversal. Let us find out what the price does next.

The next candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. This is one of the strongest bearish reversal candles. Since a significant level of resistance produces the candle, the sellers are getting ready to go short on the pair upon a bearish breakout. Those who took a long entry earlier, their trade is in great danger.

The next candle comes out as a bearish candle having a strong bounce at the level of last support. It must have swept away buyers’ stop loss. The last candle does not make a bearish breakout and has a long lower shadow, which is not a good sign for the sellers as well.  However, the buyers have not been able to take advantage of such nice bullish price action. The Forex market could take any direction since there are technical as well as fundamental aspects. Nevertheless, if we are to find one valid reason for the bearish reversal, it most probably is risk-reward.

Mind the Gap Price Action Traders

In the Forex market, most pairs start trading with a gap after weekends. Most of them are not visible on charts such as the H1, H4, or the daily. Some pairs begin with a big gap, which is visible even on the major charts. It gets difficult for price action traders to trade and make a profit when a pair starts with an evident gap.

In today’s article, we are going to demonstrate an example of this.

The trend starts with a bearish engulfing candle, which is a strong indication that the trend may sustain for a long time. The sellers are to wait for the price to consolidate and strong bearish reversal candle to go short on this chart. However, do not miss that the chart has a gap followed by trend continuation. It finds its support since it produces a doji candle followed by a bullish engulfing one.

The price finds its resistance as well. Look at the last candle on the chart. It is a bearish engulfing candle closing well below the level of support. Usually, the sellers may trigger a short entry right after the last candle closes in such price action. It is not a usual chart since it has a gap. Let us assume we have triggered a short entry here.

The next candle comes out as an inside bar bullish candle. The last candle comes out as a doji candle closing right at the breakout level. The bear still has control.

The last candle on this chart breaches through the level of stop loss. The trade does not go according to the sellers’ plan. The trend initiating and the breakout candle gets a 10 on 10. However, it gets us a loss. Do not forget this could happen any time with any trade setup. With this chart, something works against price action traders in both buying and selling. Can you guess what that is? Yes, it is the ‘Gap.’ Let us proceed to the next chart. It may create more drama.

It produces a spinning top. The buyers may think that they have a chance to take control next if it produces the next candle as a bullish engulfing candle.

It does not. It continues heading towards the South again at a slower pace. A chart with a big gap may act weird like this. Thus, it is best to avoid taking entry on a chart with a big gap.

A Weak Breakout Candle Makes Things Different

The price after being bearish gets caught within a horizontal channel. However, the last candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. It seems that the sellers may take control soon. It all depends on the breakout at the level of support followed by breakout confirmation.

The next candle comes out as a bearish candle as well closing within the level of support. The sellers are to wait longer. On the other hand, the buyers would love to get a bullish reversal right here. The battle is on.

The bear wins. The last candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle closing well below the level of support. This is what H1 breakout traders want. If the next candle closes well below the breakout candle, the sellers may trigger a short entry.

The next candle comes out as a bearish doji candle. It closes below the breakout candle. The sellers may trigger a short entry. However, this is not an ideal candle showing strong bearish momentum. If a candle like this confirms a breakout, the price may not go towards the take profit level that we would love to see.

After triggering the entry, the chart produces two bullish candles. It looks extremely ominous. Most probably, the entry is going to get us a loss. Taking a loss is a usual thing in the Forex trading. However, the last two candles may be produced because of the fragile confirmation candle. This is where H1 breakout traders shall be a bit careful. If the confirmation candle does not come out as a strong candle, the price may go another way round. Let us find out from the next chart what the price does here.

Oh! It is about to hit the stop loss. It produces a bearish engulfing candle again. The price may head towards the downside and hit take profit level. It is still 50-50 since the price is trading within the level of last swing low. Let us find out how it ends.

Yes, it hits the target at last. However, this is what the price does not usually do when the H1 chart makes a breakout and confirms it. As mentioned, it often happens when the breakout and confirmation candle come out as weak candles. Thus, we may consider this when trading H1 breakout strategy next time.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of the ABC pattern trading. The trend-initiating candle comes out as a bullish engulfing candle followed by a bullish breakout.

The price then makes a bearish correction and makes a bullish move upon producing a bullish reversal candle at a flipped support. Let us demonstrate with the charts how it happens.

The price has been bearish, but it has produced a bullish engulfing candle at the support zone. The buyers are to wait for the price to head towards the North and make a bullish breakout at the last swing high. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The price makes a breakout at the nearest swing high. The buyers are to wait for consolidation or correction and a bullish breakout. The last candle comes out as a strong bullish candle as well. It may keep going towards the North. Let us wait and find out what it does next.

It starts having a correction. Then, it produces a bearish inside bar followed by two more bearish candles. The price is at the flipped support. The buyers are to keep their eyes on this chart very closely.

Here it comes. The chart produces a bullish reversal candle. Do not miss the point that the level is the breakout level when the price heads towards the North. Such level is very significant as far as the ABC pattern trading is concerned.

The price makes a bullish breakout again and produces a new higher high. Traders may trigger a long entry right after the last candle closes by setting stop loss below the level of flipped support. It usually provides at least 1:1 risk-reward, which is the safest option. Let us proceed to the next chart to find out how it goes.

The price heads towards the North as expected. It hits the target (1R) with ease. The chart suggests that it may go towards the North further. Anyway, the ABC pattern traders shall enjoy their profit and hunt for the next one somewhere else.

In this example, we have seen that four aspects of the ABC pattern trading such trend initiating candle, breakout, reversal candle at the breakout level, and the signal candle get 10 on 10. Consequently, the price heads towards the desired direction with good momentum. If any of them fails to get 10 on 10, the trade may not go, exactly we would love to see it go. To keep excellent trading consistency, try your best to trade the ABC pattern on such price action that we have demonstrated today.

Taking Partial Profits: an Alternative if You are Too Defensive

In today’s article, we are going to demonstrate an example of the daily-H4 chart-combination price-action trading. The signal candle comes out as a strong bearish candle, which attributes have a lot to offer to the sellers. Let us find out how it ends.

This is a daily chart. The last candle comes out as a bearish engulfing candle. The daily-H4 combination traders are to flip over to the H4 chart for the price to consolidate and produce a bearish reversal candle to offer them a short entry below the consolidation level of support.

This is the H4 chart. The price consolidated earlier before producing that daily bearish reversal candle. Traders must wait for consolidation and a bearish candle from now. It produces two bearish candles consecutively. It may consolidate soon.

It produces one more bearish candle and starts having a correction instead of consolidation. It is less likely that the chart presents a bearish engulfing candle breaching the level of support. We shall never be certain, though, since it is the Forex market. Let us see what happens next.

Would you believe it? What a good-looking bearish engulfing candle that is! The sellers may trigger a short entry right after the candle closes by setting stop-loss above the level where it has a rejection. Such price action offers 1:1 risk-reward easily. Considering the signal candle, the price may go towards the South further and get more reward to the sellers.

The chart produces a bullish inside bar and heads towards the South again. The last candle comes out as a bearish Marubozu candle. The sellers must hold the trade to make a handful of pips.

The price heads towards the South for one more candle. However, it produces three consecutive bullish reversal candles. The last one comes out as a bullish pin bar. The price is still to cover a lot of space to get us 1:1 risk-reward. By looking at the price action for the last three candles, it seems that the price may have an upside correction before making the next bearish move. It may even change its trend as well. It is best to have a belief in our positions and hold it as long as we can. In other words, we shall remember the rule ‘set and forget.’ However, if the price produces too many reversal candles and strong reversal candle such as pinbar, truck rail, or engulfing candle, we may consider taking a partial profit.

In such cases, taking a partial profit comes handy. We may take out at least 50% profit and let the rest of it run. Even if the trend changes, we do not lose money. On the other hand, if it goes towards our desired direction, it gets us more profit.

Candlestick Reversal Patterns II: Let’s know The Engulfing Patterns

 

 

 

The engulfing pattern is a major reversal figure, and it is composed of two inverted candlesticks, as in the case of the Piercing pattern and the Dark Cloud Cover figure. Typically, this figure appears at the end of an upward or downward trend. It is common that the price pierces a significant resistance or support level, then making a gap up or down in the following session, to, suddenly, change its direction and end the day entirely covering the first candle.

The Bullish Engulfing

The bullish engulfing candle shows at the bottom of the trend. After several sessions with the price controlled by sellers, another black candle forms. The next session opens below the previous session close and closes above the last open, thus, completely covering the body of the black candle made on the previous session.

Criteria:

  1. The body of the second candlestick covers completely that of the black candle.
  2. There is evidence of a downward trend, even a short-term one.
  3. The body of the second candle is white and of the opposite color of the first candlestick. The exception is when the first candlestick is a doji or a tiny body. In this case, the color of the first candle is unimportant.
  4. The signal is enhanced if a large body engulfs a small body.
  5. a Large volume on the engulfing day also improves the signal.
  6. A body engulfing more than one previous candle shows the strength of the new direction.
  7. Engulfing also the shadows of the previous candle is also good news.
  8. In case of a gap, the larger the gap, the higher the likelihood of a significant reversal.

Market Sentiment:

After a downtrend, the next day, the price starts lower than the previous close but, after a short while, the buyers step in and move the price up. The late sellers start to worry, as they see their stops caught, adding more buying to the upward movement. As the price moves up, it finds a combination of profit-taking, stop-loss orders, and new buy orders. At the end of the day, this combination creates a strong rally that moves the price above the previous close.

The Bearish Engulfing

The Bearish engulfing pattern is the specular figure of a Bullish engulfing figure. And more so in the Forex market where assets are traded in pairs, making every move symmetrical.

The bearish engulfing forms after an upward trend. It is composed of two different-colored bodies, as in the above case. This time, though, the order is switched, and a bullish body is followed by a black candle. Also, the black body engulfs completely the body of the previous white candlestick. Sometimes that comes after the price piercing a key resistance, to then come back, creating a fake breakout.

Criteria:

  1. The uptrend is evident, even short-term.
  2. The body of the second day engulfs the body of the previous day.
  3. The body of the second candle is black, and the previous candle is a white candlestick, except for tiny bodies or dojis. In that case, the color of the first candlestick is unimportant.
  4. A large body engulfing a small body is an enhancement, as it confirms a change in the direction.
  5. A large volume on the engulfing day is also good for the efficacy of the signal.
  6. A body engulfing more than one previous candle shows the strength of the new direction.
  7. Engulfing also the shadows of the previous candle is also good news.
  8. In case of a gap, the larger the gap, the higher the likelihood of a substantial reversal.

Market sentiment:

After an uptrend, the price opens higher but, after a while, it reverses and moves below the previous open and below. Some stops trigger and add more fuel to the downside. The downward action accelerates on a combination of profit-taking, more stops hit, and new short orders. At the end of the day, the price closes below the open of the previous session, with the sellers in control.

We have been learning the daily-H4 chart combination trading, where we flip over to the H4 chart once we get a daily reversal candle. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate the strategy, which offers entry in a different way. This strategy is quite handy. We find out the reason in a minute.

This is a daily chart. The chart produces a bullish engulfing candle, with its the swing high far enough. This allows that daily-H4 chart combination traders enough space to hunt for pips. This is time for the traders to flip over to the H4 chart.

The H4 chart shows that the price heads towards the North with good bullish momentum. The last candle comes out as a bullish candle. However, it closes within the last H4 candle’s resistance. Traders are to wait for consolidation and bullish H4 reversal candle to go long on the pair.

The price consolidates and produces a bullish reversal candle. However, the price does not breach the consolidation resistance yet. Moreover, you may have noticed that there have been six H4 candles. It means the whole trading is passed, but the price does not make any breakout. Please note that if the H4 chart does not produce a reversal candle followed by a breakout at the highest high or lowest low within the next day, the daily-H4 chart trade setup is not valid anymore. This means we have wasted our time. It is a part of trading. We must take it professionally. However, we may have good news here. Let us flip over to the daily chart again.

The last daily candle comes out as an Inside bar. As far as the candlestick pattern is concerned, the price is bullish biased. If we get a bullish engulfing candle closing above the last two candles, the price may head towards the red marked level.

Here it comes. A bullish engulfing candle with a long lower shadow closes above the last two candles. This is a buy signal to go long for the daily traders (it is a daily chart). Daily traders may trigger a long entry right after the candle closes. Take Profit level is to be set at the red marked level, and Stop Loss is to be placed below the signal candle’s lower low. Make sure that it offers a 1:1 risk-reward ratio, at least. Let us find out how the trade goes.

It goes well. It may go towards the North further. Nevertheless, traders may either close the whole trade or take partial profit, at least. The bottom line is we may be eying on a pair to take an entry on a daily-H4 chart combination. The H4 timeframe may not offer an entry. However, the daily chart may do. This is how our effort, time never go in vain, but we make most of our invested time and effort.

Edged Breakout Lessens Momentum and Chance of Winning

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of the daily-H4 combination trade, where the price produces a reversal candle, but it does not make an explicit breakout. The price heads towards the breakout direction after having more consolidation. It often happens. Thus, we need to get familiar with such price action. Let us get started.

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of the daily-H4 combination trade, where the price produces a reversal candle, but it does not make an explicit breakout. The price heads towards the breakout direction after having more consolidation. It often happens. Thus, we need to get familiar with such price action. Let us get started.

Above, we can observe a daily chart. The last daily candle closes well below the last swing low. This is an explicit breakout. Let us now determine the level where the price may find its next support. The chart shows that the price closes within a swing low. However, the swing low one below may come as the next level of support. Have a look at the chart below.

The price may head towards the South and find its support at the red-marked level as far as the daily chart is concerned. The daily-H4 chart combination traders are to flip over to the H4 chart for the price consolidation and bearish breakout to go short on the pair.

The image above corresponds to the H4 chart. The chart produces a bullish corrective candle. If it produces a bearish candle closing below the last swing low, the sellers may trigger a short entry. Let us proceed to the next chart.

The chart produces a bearish engulfing candle. However, look at the breakout. It is not an explicit breakout. If the candle closed below the level of support with a 15%-25% extra red body, it would be an excellent entry. Nevertheless, it is a strong bearish reversal candle (bearish engulfing). A bearish engulfing candle in a bearish market makes a very strong statement that the sellers are in control on the minor charts. Let us find out what happens next.

The chart produces another bearish candle. Look at the last candle. It comes out as a bullish candle with a long upper shadow. The pair still looks bearish, but the bullish corrective candle goes too far up. It may be because of the bearish reversal candle that we have after the first consolidation. If it closed well below the level of support, it would have been bearish with more momentum. Often the price goes towards the opposite direction and hits the stop loss too in such breakout. Let us find out what happens here.

It goes according to the sellers’ expectations and hits the Take Profit. Here is a question. Would you take such entry next time? I would not blame if you say ‘yes.’ Because such trade may have a 55% chance of winning, however, to be very consistent and keep our confidence at the top level, it is better if we skip such entry.

The H4-H1, an Action-Packed Combination

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of the H4 and the H1 chart combination for taking entries. Both are intraday charts. A large number of traders

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of the H4 and the H1 chart combination for taking entries. Both are intraday charts. A large number of traders

In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of the H4 and the H1 chart combination for taking entries. Both are intraday charts. A large number of traders do the job using those two charts. Thus, it is an excellent combination to trade in the Forex market.

Let us get started.

This is an H4 chart. The chart shows that the price heads towards the North. On its way, it made an upside breakout, which may play a vital role in pushing the price towards the North further. Despite having a long lower shadow, the last candle comes out as an Engulfing candle. The price may start its correction this time.

As expected, the price comes down to the flipped support and produces a bullish engulfing candle. The last swing high is far enough to offer a 1:1 risk-reward. However, we do not take an entry right after the candle H4 closes. We rather switch over to the H1 chart.

This is how the H1 chart looks. It shows that the price starts having correction by producing a Doji candle. An engulfing bullish candle closing above the Doji candle is the signal to go long here. Let us wait for a Marubozu bullish candle.

This is one good-looking Marubozu bullish candle. However, it closes right at the resistance zone. Risk-reward is 100:0 here. We must wait for an H1 consolidation and breakout towards the upside to take a long entry.

Here they come. The price consolidates and produces an H1 bullish candle, which closes above the resistance. Traders may trigger a long entry right after the candle closes by setting stop loss below the last support. The H1 chart does not show any resistance nearby. Thus, the price may head towards the North with good bullish momentum. It may get us 1:2 risk-reward or even more. Usually, the price reverses once 1:1 risk-reward is achieved. Let us find out what happens here.

The price consolidates much earlier than our expectations. Our reward is not achieved. Thus, we keep holding our position. We are risking a loss here. However, we must keep our patience.

The price makes another upside breakout and heads towards the North. The wave gets us our expected reward and starts having a pullback. If we have not set our take profit, we may manually close it; or we may use a trailing stop loss. We will demonstrate some examples of using trailing stop loss in this combination in upcoming lessons.

The Bottom Line

The H4-H1 combination is an eventful combination. A Trader needs to have skill, expertise, experience, and patience to handle it. Once he learns it well, it may have his hands full in making money by trading.

An Engulfing Candle at a Flipped Resistance

An Engulfing candle is a strong bearish reversal candlestick. This makes traders look for trading opportunities. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of how an Engulfing

An Engulfing candle is a strong bearish reversal candlestick. This makes traders look for trading opportunities. In today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate an example of how an Engulfing candle creates an entry. Let us proceed.

This is a daily chart. The price heads towards the downside with good bearish momentum. Traders shall wait for the price to have consolidation or an upside correction followed by a bearish reversal candle or pattern.

The price starts having the correction. It produces a bearish reversal candle after three consecutive bullish candles. The bearish reversal candle is an Inside Bar. This is not a strong bearish reversal candle. However, we still may flip over to the H4 chart (this is a daily chart) and wait for an entry.  The H4 chart does not produce any bearish momentum. Thus, the price goes towards the upside instead. Have a look at the chart below.

This is one strong bullish candle. However, the candle closed within the level, which the price breached earlier. Traders must be patient here to find out what the price does around this level. Does it make an upside breakout or produce a bearish reversal pattern?

It produces a Doji candle right at the flipped resistance followed by an Engulfing candle. This surely attracts traders to keep an eye on the pair to look for short opportunities. The question is, how do we find out entries? When the price is at correction, if we have such a bearish reversal candle at the valuable area, we shall flip over to a minor chart. This is a daily chart. Thus, we shall flip over to the H4 chart. Let us flip over to the H4 chart and find out how that looks.

The H4 chart looks bearish. We are to wait for consolidation and a downside breakout to take a short entry. This is what comes out after a while.

The price produces two bearish candles followed by a bullish one. Any bearish reversal candle breaches the support of the consolidation is the signal to go short here.

This is it. A bearish engulfing candle breaches the support of consolidation. A short entry may be triggered right after the candle closes. Let us find out how the trade looks like in a nutshell.

We may set our Stop Loss above the resistance of consolidation. The Entry-level is very explicit, as it has been explained a bit earlier. We may set our Take Profit at the last lowest low where the price started its correction on the daily chart. Alternatively, we may wait for the price to produce a bullish reversal candle. In this chart, we may come out with our profit right after the last candle (bullish) closes. The choice is yours regarding ‘Take Profit.’ Both have merits and demerits.

The Bottom Line

In the above examples, we have learned what to wait for when to flip over a chart, and on what entry shall be triggered. It does look and sound easy. Trust me. It’s never as easy as it looks when you are to deal with the live market. However, having a lot of practice, and with experience, it surely becomes easier.

Even a Combination of Double Top and Engulfing Fails

Double Top/Double Bottom is one of the most robust patterns that price action traders wait to take entries. When the price is rejected twice at a resistance level, it forms

Double Top/Double Bottom is one of the most robust patterns that price action traders wait to take entries. When the price is rejected twice at a resistance level, it forms

Double Top/Double Bottom is one of the most robust patterns that price action traders wait to take entries. When the price is rejected twice at a resistance level, it forms a Double Top. As far as the candlestick pattern is concerned, an engulfing candle is the most reliable reversal candle that traders usually love to take an entry from a value area.

A combination of Double Top and a bearish engulfing candle attracts sellers to go short. Since it is an outstanding price action combination, it does not usually go wrong. However, in today’s lesson, we are going to demonstrate that even a great flourishing price action combination can go wrong, as well.

The price consolidates at the marked resistance and heads towards the downside. It then goes back towards the resistance. The sellers are to get ready to get a bearish reversal candle. The red-marked level is the resistance level, where we don’t consider the upper shadows. Since the price has several rejections at the marked level, and it is a valuable area for the sellers, the price most probably may respect the area and produce the bearish reversal candle.

The price does not respect the red-marked level, but it does not make an upside breakout either. Instead, it closes within the upper shadows. Traders are to adjust here. Let us see how it looks now.

The level where the last candle closes has some significance. One of the bullish candles closes within the marked level. This level may work as a resistance level and ends up producing a bearish reversal candle.

Here it comes. The Double Top’s resistance level produces a bearish engulfing candle. We have found the resistance level at last. So all the equations to go short from here seem to match as far as price action trading is concerned.

  1. The price produces a Double Top.
  2. The price produces a bearish engulfing candle right at the resistance of the Double Top.

The swing low is far enough, which offers good Risk-Reward as well. All seems to be okay to trigger a short entry.

After triggering the entry, the next candle comes out as a bearish Doji candle. Things still look good. The sellers are going to grab some green pips!

No! The next candle comes out as a bullish Marubozu candle, which breaches the resistance of the Double Top. It wipes off the Sellers Stop Loss. The buyers may take control once the breakout is confirmed.

The Lesson

It does not matter how good a trade setup looks: it may fail. Thus, there is no reason to be too optimistic about any entry. We must calculate our Risk-Reward and have immaculate risk management with every single entry that we take in the market.
