Engulfing Strategy EA Specification

This document outlines the design specifications for a multi-timeframe Engulfing Strategy EA that supports automatic trading, manual signal alerts, and account flipping logic.


---

1. TRADE STRUCTURE

A. Trading Bias (Setup)

Swing Trading Setup:

Setup Timeframe: Weekly

Trade Control: Daily

Confirmation: H4 / H1 / M30


Day Trading Setup:

Setup Timeframe: H4

Trade Control: M30

Confirmation: M15 / M5 / M1



> User can select which setup to respect: Weekly only, Daily only, or both.




---

2. CORE STRATEGY RULES

A. Entry Rules

1. Engulfing Zone (EG) is formed on setup timeframe.


2. Price pulls back into the Engulfing zone.


3. Engulfing Candle forms on the Trade Control timeframe.


4. Confirmation Entry occurs on selected lower timeframe (M30, M15, M5, etc.).


5. Confirmation Rule:

Entry timeframe (e.g., M5/M15) must confirm both:

✅ An Engulfing Candle (EG)

✅ An Engulfing Fail (EF)

✅ A Pullback into that EG/EF zone


Only when all 3 conditions are met, a trade entry is valid.



6. Every new EG zone needs a new confirmation chain (e.g., new H4 EG needs new M30 and M5 confirmations).



B. Re-entry Logic

If price continues to form new EGs in the direction of the bias, continue entering new trades.

If price reaches an opposite zone (e.g., sell trade reaches H4 buy zone), check for reversal EG on H1 or M30 before stopping or reversing.

If an EG in the same trade direction forms instead, continue trade to next H4 zone.

If no valid confirmation forms, hold the trade.



---

3. TRADING MODES

A. Signal Only (Manual Trading)

Alerts user when two of the three conditions are met for preparation.

Full signal alert when pullback and EG candle form in the zone.

Highlight zone and price on chart.


B. Auto Trading (EA Mode)

Automatically executes trades once full confirmation is met.

Applies risk settings and lot sizing.

Supports re-entry and continuation logic.



---

4. LOT SIZE AND RISK SETTINGS

A. Initial Lot Size Calculation:

UseRiskLot: true/false

RiskPercent: (e.g., 1%)

StopLossPips: (e.g., 30)

AccountReference: "Balance" or "Equity"


Formula:

InitialLot = (AccountReference * RiskPercent / 100) / (StopLossPips * PipValuePerLot)

B. Flipping Logic (Lot Multiplier):

LotMultiplier: e.g., 2

MaxLotSize: e.g., 0.64


Progression:

0.01 > 0.02 > 0.04 > 0.08...
If limit (e.g., 0.64) reached, reset to 0.01


---

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

Account SL/TP Settings:

Take Profit: in cash or %

Stop Loss: in cash or %

Max Trades Per Day


Session Filter:

Days and Time to trade (customizable)


Spread and Slippage Filters:

MaxAllowedSpread

MaxSlippage




---

6. STOP LOSS OPTIONS

User-selectable SL methods:

1. Fixed SL (Pips)


2. Risk-Based SL (Cash / %)


3. Zone-Based SL:

SL placed just below (Buy) or above (Sell) the engulfing zone

Optional buffer in pips (e.g., 5 pips)



4. Zone + ATR-Based SL:

SL = zone boundary ± (ATR × multiplier)

ATR period and multiplier user-defined





---

7. ZONE AND CHART CLEANUP

Only show EG/EF zones around Current Market Price (CMP) to avoid clutter.

Automatically remove invalid or broken zones.



---

8. ALERT SYSTEM

Alert when:

Setup zone forms (e.g., Weekly or H4 EG)

Pullback happens into trade control zone

Confirmation EG/EF form together on entry timeframe


Alerts delivered via:

On-screen popup

Email

Mobile push




---

9. TARGET MANAGEMENT

Inputs:

DailyProfitTargetAmount

DailyProfitTargetPercent

DailyLossLimitAmount

DailyLossLimitPercent

AccountProfitTargetAmount

AccountLossLimitAmount

ActionAfterTargetHit: ["Continue", "Pause", "ExitEA"]

NewTradingDayStartTime


Behavior:

If target hit → take action based on selected option

Sends alert with summary when any target is hit



---

This EA allows for flexible and dynamic trading using an Engulfing-based price action model that scales across day trading and swing trading. The EA is designed to capture continuation and reversal moves efficiently with minimal chart noise and robust risk management.



✅ The updated EA specification now includes your latest requirement: EG + EF + Pullback as mandatory trade confirmation on the entry timeframe.
