It can be a real challenge picking reversal points as they occur regardless of how many years
we may have been trading. Yes we do become more intuitive over the years but with an ever changing
market its remains a constant learning curve.
Its human nature for us to try and pick the bottom of a trend. Its that engrained trait of
wanting to buy at a bargain basement price. In order to identify reversal points most of us will reach for
one of the two hundred or so crappy indicators in our menu and when they fail we then look to moving
averages as our saving grace. When this fails with a degree of consistency we then switch back to
guessing (discretionary entry). All along there has been a more than acceptable alternative to the
guess work and indicator manipulation.
Candle patterns reflect the moment. They define the underlying sentiment within price action
albeit briefly. Because of their short term nature we need to remain mindful that with every bar that
passes following the candle pattern the less significance the pattern carries.

From a personal

perspective I like decisive bullish and bearish engulfing patterns.

First up, what are bullish and bearish engulfing patterns?


A Bearish Engulfing pattern is exactly as the name
suggests, the preceding candle body (the fat bit) is completely
engulfed by the body of the current candle. The pattern will usually
appear at the top of a trend. The longer the engulfing candle body
and the lower the closing price the stronger the pattern.
The psychology behind the pattern is strong and decisive
market rejection. A strong gap up on the open followed by a brief
rise in price only for everything to come crashing back to Earth as
the body of the previous day is taken out.
A bullish engulfing pattern is the opposite where price
action will gap lower on the open only to reverse and cover the body
of the previous days candle finishing the day with a strong closing
price. Bullish Engulfing patterns will usually occur at or near the
bottom of a down trend.

Westpac Banking (WBC ASX) figure 1 experiences bearish engulfing patterns regularly
however not all patterns precede a reversal in price. While it is fine knowing when a candle pattern
appears we need to manage their appearance as not all candle patterns will come to fruition.
With any candle pattern if its genuine,
then its supported by the majority of the
market therefore price reversal is usually
instant. I have the rule that I will only trade on
candle patterns plus one. In order to explain
this rambling, an engulfing pattern consists of
two candles, one small candle followed by the
much larger engulfing candle. It is a two
bar/candle pattern. The maximum number of
periods that I will associate with the validity of
the pattern is three bars. Beyond this if price
action has not reversed then the pattern may
not have the broad market support needed to

Entry Range

reverse price action. The pattern may have


occurred on the back of minor profit taking.

The second step in the process involves confirming that price action is attempting to change.
Forget these pristine examples that you will see in books where the candle appears at the apex of the
trend, price immediately runs hard and you made a nice profit as price punches through a nicely
positioned trend line one bar from the high or low. Its all very convenient and text book but seldom
reflective of real time trading.
Above we have a bearish engulfing pattern. Text book application will tell us to enter should
price trade below the low of the engulfing candle. This is garbage that will cost you a small fortune in
false signals.
In order to minimise my exposure to false signals, I project the total trading range of the
engulfing candle downward commencing from the low of the candle. Should the closing price occur
within the bottom half of the range within three bars of pattern formation then I will consider that the
signal has validity. If you are slightly more conservative then you can wait until price action drops below
the bottom line which is the full length of our engulfing candle. What is important here is that even if
you choose to be a little more conservative and wait for a greater in reversal in price the penetration of
our bottom line must still occur within three bars of pattern formation?

The traditional engulfing pattern only requires the candle


body, thats the fat bit to engulf the body of the previous candle, the
other fat bit. The upper and lower tails or shadows do not enter into
the equation when identifying the pattern. In order to assist with
pattern validity I like to see the body of the engulfing candle cover
the entire trading range of the first candle. This tells us that the
engulfing candle has gapped on the open, this being a potential
exhaustion gap and then at some stage during the day, the wheels
have fell off the cart causing price to reverse. This slight variation is
not a true piercing pattern as I have seen promoted on some
websites. (I will cover piercing patterns shortly in order to remove any confusion)
We can further expand on our personal requirement by nominating that the trading range of
the engulfing candle exceeds the first candle by say 50%. By including a minimum increase in range
over the first candle we will only identify those large engulfing candles which occur less frequently.

Figure 2 Full Engulfing Patterns

By changing the requirement that our engulfing candle must do exactly that, engulf the first
candle in its entirety along with a minimum increase in the trading range of say 50% over the first
candle then we will also remove many of the lesser signals. The downside is that we will also remove
a number of genuine signals as well so it becomes a compromise between minimising market noise
and defining genuine reversal activity

Having defined our point of entry we now


need to consider where to place with an initial stop.
As a general rule if a reversal pattern of this nature
works then price will seldom retest the pattern high
or low. If price returns to trade above the pattern
high or low then its reasonably to conclude that the
pattern has failed therefore we should consider a
prompt exit.
While there are literally dozens of candle
patterns to select from I find that I primarily focus
on just two for entry setups, these being bullish
engulfing patterns and bullish piercing pattern.

Piercing Pattern
A Piercing Pattern occurs when a bullish
candle (day 2) closes above the middle of the
previous candle (day 1). The previous candle must
be bearish with a lower closing price.
Our piercing candle (day 2) gaps down at
the market open only to rally throughout the day
recovering much of the previous days losses
The rejection

of the downward

gap

suggests an increasing presence of buyers within


the market. The fact that the buyers have been able
to move prices notably higher throughout the day
wiping out all of yesterdays losses suggests
increasing bullish sentiment. The buyers have been
successful in holding prices higher while absorbing
all excess supply at lower levels. This further
suggests that we potentially have an increasing the
level of demand. The longer the piercing candle the
stronger the pattern potentially becomes. If the
piercing pattern is accompanied by increased
volume activity then we have further evidence
suggesting that a reversal is likely.
The primary difference between a piercing pattern and engulfing patterns is an engulfing
pattern reverses to cover all of the body of the first candle while a piercing pattern only reverses to
cover more than half of the first candle body. Its piercing previous activity however its yet to engulf it.

While piercing patterns can be a solid indication of potential change, like most candle
patterns they too are prone to the occasional failure due to being extremely short term in duration ans
less decisive development. We continue to apply the same principles with our piercing pattern as we
have done with our engulfing patterns.
We project the length of the piercing candle (day 2) upward from the high then look for price
to trade within the top half our projected range. Again we must apply a time factor to entry. As a
piercing pattern requires two candles to complete then price must reach our minimum trading range
within three bars otherwise we will consider that the reversal is potentially losing momentum or false.
From a personal trading perspective I have my own version of an engulfing pattern for
reversal identification. I tend to use the two conventional patterns for mid trend entry. When more
obvious patterns occur such as Island reversals, Dragonfly and Gravestone dojis then I do take notice
of their appearance however I do not let myself become entangled in a mass of candle pattern
analysis. I am looking for the signs of reversal therefore I am seeking patterns that enjoy a degree of
consistency and I find that these two meet this requirement.
Moving averages and indicators crossing from oversold is the preferred option of many
however these tools will seldom identify market change as early as a genuine candle pattern nor do
they reflect market sentiment at the time. Candle patterns are often overlooked due to their simplicity
after all how can a two bar pattern be anywhere near as effective as a 21 period RSI. Quite simple
really, most indicators reflect average change not current sentiment. The old line that good things
come in small packages is true and where some candle patterns are concerned especially engulfing
patterns. I am not a fanatically candle pattern trader and I cannot quote all of the patterns in existence
nor can I identify them all as they appear on my screen. I look for reversals or signs of continuation.
Beyond this I do not overcomplicate my trade process beyond this.
If candles are of interest then you will need to spend some time sorting through the menu in
order to locate which candle patterns favour certain stocks. The effort will be worth it.

While most indicators do not make very reliable forecasting instruments, they can make for a
solid exit tool. Most traders focus on indicators as a means of entry confirmation or signal however this
is when they are at their weakest. We are asking the indicator based on previous values to tell us what
is going to happen into the future with a degree of reliability. In most cases this seldom comes to
fruition. What is overlooked is that once we are in a trade, the indicators inclusion of ongoing data tells
us much about current trend behaviour. We are no longer looking to the indicator from a predictive

perspective on what may happen but rather a from a relationship perspective involving the here and
now. Now this, indicators can do and some do it quite well.
I have overlayed the overbought region of the Relative Strength index on price. The benefit
with this dynamic approach is that we can monitor change more accurately therefore we can make an
informed decision at the time should be consider that price action is becoming unsustainable.
Once price action tags the overbought region of the RSI we know from experience that the
trade is potentially nearing its end. Because of this we are in two minds as to whether we should close
the position and take the profit or remain in the trade and hope that any pull back is minimal and are
our trailing stop will not be pinged by price action.
First and foremost this depends on the nature of
the strategy. If we are rally trading then profit
taking is common practice however if we are
position trading then we need a good reason to
be exiting prior to our stops being tagged. When
position trading, unsustainable price action is one
of those reasons
Once price action tags the overbought
line we are put on notice that the current upward
is potentially nearing maturity but knowing how to
manage the situation is another matter as the RSI
can remain overbought for an extended period.
Once price action moves into the overbought
region we do not immediately sell.
We shift our trailing stop to the low of the
previous bar then follow the upward bar adjusting
our trailing stop which each higher low that
appears. Our trailing stop value is the contingent
An inside bar is our
signal to lock profits

sell order value sitting on our platform. In this


situation we are not waiting for a close below our
trailing stop as an exit signal as we are aiming to
lock in maximum profit.

We will experience one of two signals, we will either be stopped out as price action reverses
and tags our trailing stop thereby closing the position or price action will drift sideways where it will
eventually move back inside of our overbought line. Our first bar inside of the overbought line is our
sell signal.

Its at this point we may consider as to whether we should stay with the position to see
whether we can gain from a renewed push upward after all this current pause is shaping to be that, a
pause in price. We cannot lose site of the fact that price action has been overbought for some time
therefore a potential pull back is likely. At this point we can collect the profits and ready ourselves for reentry at a later date.

highlights current global weakness in the equities markets.

Open Positions
Global exchanges have dipped again this week on the back of continued weakness. Our position in
Peoples United Financial closed out this week at $14.27. Our position closed with a moderate profit of
$1,064.00.

Our trades in CSR and Manulife Financial are looking the most secure of the remaining open
positions while Hudson City Bancorp and Huntington Bancshares have both become decidedly
weaker following bearish market behaviour over the last week. We need to decide whether we will lift
our trailing stops to protect our account from unnecessary capital erosion or do we leave the stops at
current levels and ride the current dip in the hope that its just a temporary decline in value.

One of the easiest methods I find for determining potential trend direction and momentum is
the multiple moving average. Both MMAs are developing in a similar manner with each MMA having
rolled over on a daily time frame. This is definitely a sign of early weakness which comes as no surprise
considering the general state of the equities market. On a weekly time frame both MMAs are also
showing the early signs of potentially rolling over therefore we will lift our stops to minimise our
exposure to any unnecessary downside.
With any future trades taken we will also look at switching stops from the conventional
position following Bear Range trailing stop to the Dynamic Bear Range trailing stop. Considering the
current weakness is the equities market as a whole we will temporarily avoid absorbing any
retracement activity by looking to lock in profits on the first signs of any reversal behaviour. Once we
begin to see the signs of strength returning to the equities markets we will review our choice of trailing
stop.

MASTERING BULLCHARTS, METATRADER & METASTOCK

I received a query here recently regarding data and BullCharts. BullCharts runs on proprietary
data by default however BullCharts also has the capacity to read MetaStock data flawlessly. I have
been using BullCharts on MetaStock data for the best part of 10 years and I am yet to experience any
major issues.
If the market is available in MetaStock data then BullCharts can read it, and this includes
everything from stock exchanges, commodities and Forex.

Step1:- You will need to acquire an activation key from Brendon at BullCharts in order to unlock
BullCharts. When you initially purchase BullCharts it is locked to BullCharts data. I will cover the
activation process here as Brendon provides a detailed explanation of how this is done with the
activation key.

Step 2:- Next thing to do is to source quality MetaStock data. For this I use Reuters however Premium
Data Services also provide quality data. The only down side with Premium Data Services is that
international data is limited to the US. If you are looking for Asian or European exchanges then Reuters
is in my opinion the best source of quality international data.
The important thing with BullCharts when using MetaStock Data is to keep all of your data in
one main directory. BullCharts reads all directorys upon opening however it can only read one main
directory when open.

Step 3:- For the first download of MetaStock simply follow all of the instructions as provided by the data
provider. This establishes your MetaStock database.

Step 4:- Now create a folder on your C Drive and call it My Custom DataBase or something similar
so that you can distinguish between the original data folder and your custom data folder

Page | 13
Copyright Tech Analyst, 2013
Covering NYSE, NASDAQ, London, Frankfurt, Australia, Futures & Forex Exchanges

Step 5:- Now you simply open the original data folder and copy only those exchanges you will intend to
trade. If you receive Forex data from Premium data Services and Exchange data from Reuters then also
copy the Folder across to your custom data folder

Note: - when copying the data across to your new folder you simply copy the folder. Do not open the
folder and attempt to copy the individual files within the exchange folder. MetaStock requires the folder
in order to know where to place the data when
downloading
Your new folder should look similar to mine on
the left
Step 6:- We now need to redirect our data
download from the original folder to our newly
created custom folder. From here it will depend
slightly on where you decide to source your
MetaStock data from. Most data programs will
allow your alter the directory path. Changing the
Premium Data Services directory path is an
extremely straight forward process.

Step 7:- If using the MetaStock Downloader (for


Reuters data) in the left pane locate My Custom
Database then expand the folder to reveal all of
your sub folders containing each exchange.

Step 8:- We now add each sub folder to the Folder pane on the right.
We are now ready to download data to our custom folder. We need to be mindful that with the
change in our directory path, the original folders
will no longer update.

Step 8:- Now for BullCharts. Once you have


entered the activation code you will need to
redirect BullCharts to your MetaStock Database
Tools > Preferences > Data

Page | 14
Copyright Tech Analyst, 2013
Covering NYSE, NASDAQ, London, Frankfurt, Australia, Futures & Forex Exchanges

In the data pane, change the data source from


BullSystems to MetaStock Database then use the
browse function to locate your custom data folder. Do
not open your primary folder and select any of the sub
folders as BullCharts will only read the sub folder.
Click Ok when done.
The end result is that you now have access to
all exchanges loaded to your custom data folder.
BullCharts works with the same functionality
regardless of whether it is reading BullCharts or
MetaStock data.
Functions that rely on data beyond the open,
high, low, close and volume do not work as this data is
not provided by Reuters. Functions such as Trade
Planner and TradeSim all operate in the usual flawless
manner.
Finally searches run with equal efficiency
regardless of the data sources while watch lists can be
created as normal.
BullCharts is no different to MetaStock in that
we must close the program prior to updating our data
base. To leave the program open then commence
updating can lock open our data file
preventing the updating process from
completing. You are then required to
locate which sub directory was open at the
time then remove the temporary file which
holds the file open while BullCharts reads
the data.
I use the security manager in
BullCharts for all MetaStock data files and
to date I have never experienced any
issues

in

regard

to

stability

and

functionality. You can open MetaStock using Open MetaStock from the file menu however on the rare
occasion when I have experienced loading issues it has been when using this pathway to MetaStock. I

Page | 15

Covering NYSE, NASDAQ, London, Frankfurt, Australia, Futures & Forex Exchanges

am unable to say whether the flaw was with BullCharts or MetaStock. BullCharts opens the MetaStock
pane and if it wasnt for the bull in top left corner you would not know that you were using BullCharts to
open MetaStock.
Regardless of what you are told, if the data you require is available in MetaStock EOD (end of
day format) then BullCharts can read it flawlessly.

Note:- BullCharts cannot read live MetaStock data streaming available through QuoteCentre.

Philosophy:- Our automated strategies are designed to be applied as a complimentary trading
technique whereby they trade in the background secondary to the traders primary trading activities.
They are relatively low frequency strategies that look for higher probability low risk opportunities.

Important Tips:Check current parameters using the Strategy Tester regularly and re-optimise if the current results are
in decline with previous
Always test the strategy on the platform and account to which it is applied
Always test during peak trading times and never test over weekends due to widened spreads.

I have been busy finalising updated versions of our three automated strategies which I will be
sending out this week. Due to the time this taken with each update I have not had a chance to
complete the optimisation process for the trend high-low strategy. I have an extremely busy schedule
this week however I am hopeful that I will have this done before my wing is clipped.

identify you as a genuine registration and activate access for you. We do not require your password.
It was decided to restrict the forum to readers only. We wanted to create an area where
readers can discuss issues among themselves without being open to scrutiny by the ever increasing
number of forum junkies. Having read numerous posts by many of these individuals over time it would
appear that the vast majority of these out spoken clowns do not trade actively, yet take it upon
themselves to ridicule and belittle those who are seeking legitimate answers to genuine questions. I did
not want any of these loud mouthed individuals who hide behind the anonymity of an unidentifiable
username and Gmail address to be associated with our forum. For us, Tech Torque and the forum are
about helping those who are genuine about wanting to trade successfully by helping themselves.
