New York Liquidity Sweep Reversals with Engulfing Confirmation

Summary

This intraday framework looks for reversals after price moves beyond the previous day's high or low during the New York morning session. A long setup requires a break below the prior low followed by a recovery and bullish engulfing candle; a short setup uses a break above the prior high, recovery, and bearish engulfing candle. It limits entries to one per direction per instrument each day and sets exits using a fixed stop and a reward-to-risk multiple.

The document explains the rationale as liquidity collection near well-watched levels, but provides no performance results to validate that interpretation or the claim that confirmation improves success. It describes a default risk allocation and illustrative stop and reward settings, while noting risks from false sweeps, volatility changes, and reliance on a narrow time window and one candle pattern. Suggested extensions include volatility-based stops, higher-timeframe trend filters, volume checks, and instrument-specific session testing.

Key ideas

• The setup trades reversals after the previous day's high or low is swept and price returns across that level.
• Engulfing candles confirm entries during the specified New York morning window.
• The rules limit daily entries by direction and use fixed stop and reward-to-risk settings.
• False reversals and fixed parameters may reduce performance across changing market conditions.
