Forex Price Action

Johnathon hello, can you ask you 2 questions?

First, in this thread on first page you post this pic:



And you say that this is engulfing bar, OK but I found one site where is writen this- Engulfing - MrSwing.com
Recognition Criteria:
• The first day’s color indicates the trend of the trading day.
• The second real body should have the opposite color of the first real body.
• The second day’s body should completely engulf the previous day’s body.

So, on your chart by this criteria I dont see any engulfing bar becouse your previus bar is not opposite of that “engulfing” bar you say. Can you explain wich is the true? Which to believe?

The secound question is if this thread as titled “Forex Price Action” is full price action information, why nowhere I saw other candlestick patterns? Inside, outside bars? Doji, harami, dark clouds, gravestone doji… ? Not always near swing points has pin bars or Engulfin, may formed other patterns, so what, to Ignore them and wait for only this 2 signals (pin or engulfing)?
