THE CANDLESTICK TRADING BIBLE
There are other technical tools that can help us find the best levels in
the market such as: supply and demand areas, moving averages, and
Fibonacci retracement ratios.
3-The signal:
The signal here is an engulfing bar pattern; you can apply the same
rules when trading the inside bar candlestick pattern
Your ability to identify an engulfing candlestick at a key level in a clear
uptrend or downtrend will greatly enhance the probabilities of making
a wining trade.

Trading the engulfing bar with moving averages
Trading the engulfing bar pattern with moving averages provide a
very profitable trading strategy, however, the lack of knowledge about
using the moving average can damage dramatically your trading
account.
Traders use moving averages in different ways:

average
-To determine whether the market is overbought or oversold we just
watch how prices interact with the moving averages, for example, in
an uptrend, if prices move far from the moving averages, this is an
indication that the market is overbought.
-To predict the trend, change by using the crossover strategy, if the
moving average crosses over another, it is a signal of a trend reversal.
As any trading system, the moving averages have disadvantages; this
is why you have to know how to use it successfully under the right
market conditions.

to use it in range bound or untradeable markets.
Because you will get lot of false signals, and you will definitively blow
up your trading account.
To the best of my knowledge, using the moving average as a dynamic
support and resistance in trending markets, in combination with an
engulfing bar pattern signal is the perfect way to make money in the
market.
The strategy is very simple, we will use the 21 and the 8-simple moving
averages in the daily and 4-hour time frames, we will define a clear
