Waiting for confirmation after an engulfing candle is generally a smart habit, especially when trading with a funded account. Many traders look for a close beyond the engulfing range, a retest of the candle's midpoint, or alignment with a key support or resistance level before jumping in.
Taking raw signals without confirmation can lead to false breakouts, which quickly chew through your daily loss limits and consistency targets. Patience keeps your risk management tight. How do you usually filter your entries after spotting an engulfing pattern?
