I’ve actually had decent success using the engulfing candle on the 15-minute chart, especially around session opens. But I never take them alone — always wait for price to react at a key level or pivot, then see if the engulfing confirms that zone. For example, in EUR/USD, if London opens near yesterday’s low and then forms a strong engulfing candle, I’ll enter with a small SL under the wick. But it’s risky — volume confirmation helps a ton, and I always look for trend alignment on the higher timeframe (like 1H). Otherwise, it’s easy to get faked out by random spikes.
