Bullish Engulfing
~ In this pattern, a large bullish (green) candle completely engulfs the small bearish (red) candle
~ This pattern is credible only when it is formed at the bottom of the trend
~ Prior trend should be downtrend before the formation of this pattern take place
~ Generally, I have observed that downtrend should be of at least 12% to 15% before the formation of this pattern.
~ I never initiate the trade on the bullish engulfing pattern if the prior trend is bullish. I don't trade bullish engulfing as trend continuation pattern.
~ The accuracy of this pattern is nearly between 70% to 80%
~ Most of the time I trade bullish engulfing on daily chart.
~ Stop Loss is 1% below the low of bullish(green) candle.
~ SL is on the level basis not on the closing basis.
~ Sometimes a trader needs to use critical thinking skills while placing stop-loss and that comes with practice and time.
~ Target : I booked 30% of the quantity as soon as I achieved 6% to 8% return. My ultimate target is not more than 12% to 15%.
