Candle Patterns Ver.2

When someone decided to start trading the first thing we learn is how to read and understand the candlesticks. This little "boxes" with sticks tell us how the market sentiment and they can be used to "predict" future moves. I put predict inside a quotation marks because I would say predict the market is almost an utopia and we all know the reason.
Anyway with a good understand in reading the candlesticks with other indicators(like momentum or even a MA) can give us some edge when analyzing an instrument.
Since we have a lot of candlesticks types I did some back test and figured out that for my strategy that three candlestick types works very well. I will briefly describe then.
Engulfing Bar
This type of candlestick shows us a potential reversal based on the previous bar.
A bullish Engulfing has the close higher than the open it works better if the previous one is a bearish bar(open higher than close) and it is at a Support level. The body of the Engulfing bar should "engulf" the full body of the previous bar. If all parameters(previous bearish bar at Support level after a downtrend move) this Engulfing will represents a reversal move. When I say reversal it could means a pullback reversal(if the past trend is downtrend) or if the previous downtrend is a pullback from a past uptrend. In any way the previous bearish followed by an bullish Engulfing in general leads for an upward move.
The same picture applies to a previous bullish bar followed by an bearish Engulfing bar that if appears at the Resistance level will lead to a downward move.
One thing that is worth to mention is in a downward(or upward) move we have a small bullish bar followed by a bullish Engulfing this situation may lead to a continuation, not reversal.
Pinbar Bar:
This is another candlestick type that represents possible reversal. The Pinbar candle show a small(or medium) size but the important part is the size of the stick. If the stick is the upper one and has the size of 2 times the size of the body, it is a bearish bars and it appears after an uptrend move it represents that the buyers are losing momentum so we can expect a reversal move. When this type of bar appears after a downward move, it is a bullish bars but the stick is the lower one and has the size of two times of the body it will represents a bullish reversal. In this picture this candle is called a "Hammer".
So based on that I develop an indicator that shows me these 2 bars types and makes easy to identify with the other indicator possible entries.
Please feel free for a constructive comments and hope it help any one whe trading. Candlestick are the fundamentals of Price action.
You all have a great trading new week.
