Multi-Timeframe Trend and Bullish Engulfing Day Trading

Summary

This intraday strategy combines a 15-minute trend check with a bullish engulfing pattern on a 1-minute chart. A rising 15-minute close series supplies the directional filter; the pattern triggers a long entry. The method also excludes specified periods near the start and end of the trading day, places a stop at the previous candle’s low, sets a profit target at twice the entry-to-stop distance, and closes positions at the stated end of day.

The document describes the logic and lists a year-long ETH/USDT futures backtest configuration, but provides no performance statistics. The source is long-only, and its published backtest uses daily bars despite describing minute-level signals and intraday timing. The time windows are specified for a US market schedule, so their relevance depends on the instrument and timezone. The document also notes possible lag in higher-timeframe data, missed opportunities from filters, and the limits of a single candle pattern and fixed risk-reward rule.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses a rising 15-minute price series to filter 1-minute bullish engulfing entries.
• It avoids specified periods near the market open and close and closes positions at the end of the day.
• The stop is placed at the previous candle’s low, with a target based on twice the entry risk.
• The published settings use daily bars, which do not establish that the described intraday logic was tested as intended.
