Engulfing Pattern with Stochastic Oscillator

 

Submit by Max Trader 02/12/2013

 

The Engulfing pattern is a major reversal pattern. It is made up of two candles that

are 2 different colors; red being a downtrend candle, and green being an uptrend

candle. This particular pattern is formed after a clear downtrend in the market. This

candle ideally opens lower that the 1st day’s close, then ideally closes higher than

the 1st day’s open, which will show the green candle completely engulfing the

previous red candle of the day before. The candle for the previous day shows that

the trend was losing momentum, the large body shows that the new direction has

started of with strength.

 

Typically, a Bullish Engulfing pattern reveals when the

buyers have stepped in giving a clear indication of a change in direction. NOTE: the

Bullish candle DOES NOT have to engulf the shadows/wicks of the previous

downtrend candle, only the body has to be completely engulfed. The bigger the engulfing, the stronger the signal.
