Doji Sandwich + Volume Spike = 10/10 Trades If You Spot It RightHello Traders! Today, let’s talk about a highly underrated but powerful candlestick pattern — the Doji Sandwich . When this pattern appears with a volume spike , it can give you a high-probability breakout or breakdown setup . If you’ve ever missed strong moves because of late entries, this one’s for you. Let’s decode how to spot it, trade it, and why it works so well. What is the Doji Sandwich Pattern? Structure: The pattern consists of three candles — a strong candle (bullish or bearish), followed by a Doji , and then another strong candle in the same direction as the first. Indecision Trap: The Doji shows indecision, but the follow-up candle confirms that the previous trend will continue. Reliability Boost: When supported by a volume spike on the third candle, it becomes a powerful confirmation of trend continuation. How to Trade the Doji Sandwich Setup Entry: Enter on the breakout of the third candle (closing above or below the Doji range). Stop Loss: Place your stop loss just below the Doji (in bullish case) or above it (in bearish case). Volume Confirmation: Make sure the third candle is accompanied by a visible volume spike — this confirms institutional activity. Ideal Timeframe: 15min, 1hr, or Daily chart — depending on your trading style (intraday or swing). When Does It Work Best? Near support/resistance zones — as a continuation signal. After a short pullback or consolidation . In trending markets where volume confirms momentum. Rahul’s Tip Always combine price pattern + volume confirmation. A Doji Sandwich alone is good, but with a volume spike — it’s fire🔥. Don’t just watch it — prepare for it. Conclusion The Doji Sandwich pattern is one of those rare 10/10 setups when spotted correctly with volume. Simple, clean, and powerful — it can help you catch big moves early. Add it to your watchlist strategy, and you’ll never ignore this combo again! Have you ever traded this pattern? Share your experience below, and let’s learn from each other!

My Favorite Reversal Candle Pattern (Works Like Magic!)Hello Traders! What if I told you that one single candlestick pattern could give you an 80% win rate — when traded with the right context and strategy? That’s right! Today, we’re talking about the powerful Engulfing Candlestick Pattern — backed by data, tested across timeframes, and loved by price action traders. Let’s break it down properly so you can spot it, trade it, and win with it. The Candle Setup: Bullish & Bearish Engulfing Patterns Bullish Engulfing Pattern: This forms at the end of a downtrend or pullback . A strong green candle completely engulfs the previous red candle’s body, signaling a shift from sellers to buyers. This setup is most effective at key support zones, trendline bounces, or bullish reversals with volume confirmation . Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Seen after an uptrend or rally . A solid red candle engulfs the previous green candle’s body, showing a shift from buyers to sellers. Best used near resistance levels, psychological zones, or after a parabolic price move . Check the chart above to understand better! Note: I’ve used real chart examples from the past to demonstrate Bullish & Bearish Engulfing patterns exactly as they appear in price action textbooks — so you can recognize them with clarity and confidence. How to Trade the Engulfing Candle Effectively Entry: Enter above the bullish engulfing candle’s high (long) or below the bearish engulfing candle’s low (short) after the candle closes. Stop Loss: Place SL just below the bullish engulfing candle's low or above the bearish candle’s high. Target: Use a 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward ratio, or set targets based on nearby support/resistance or Fibonacci levels. When to Use: Only trade engulfing patterns when they form at a confluence zone — such as support/resistance, trendlines, moving averages, or breakout retests . Backtesting Insights When tested across Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, and large-cap stocks on the 15 min, 1H, and Daily charts , the Engulfing pattern — when combined with structure — showed up to 80% success rate with proper risk management and discipline. Rahul’s Tip Don’t blindly trade the pattern—trade the location! Context is everything. Always confirm with structure and volume. Engulfing candles are powerful, but only when they appear where it actually matters. Conclusion The Engulfing Candle is one of the most reliable patterns if traded with patience and planning. Combine it with key zones and risk control , and it can become a high-probability weapon in your trading arsenal. Have you used this pattern before?
