Engulfing at support and resistance: what's your confirmation?

An engulfing candle at a key level is the textbook reversal entry — and the textbook fake. The confirmation question (next candle, close beyond, retest) separates the tradeable from the trap.

What do you require?

• the engulfing definition you use
• the confirmation you wait for
• the engulfing pattern that failed and taught you

The candlestick guide and support and resistance guide cover the two halves.
