Rules for trading the "Elephant and Pug"

Buy

The formation of a safe white candle ("Elephant") occurs after a black candle with a small body, preferably a doji;

After the "Elephant" a second white candle is formed, but smaller in size. It's called "pug". The size of the second candle should not exceed 60 points. The closing price of the second white candle should be greater than or equal to the maximum price of the first candle (maximum tail);

When the next candle opens after the pattern, we open a buy deal.

Set Stop Loss and Take Profit:

We set the stop loss below the opening price of the second candle (if the lower tail is not far away, then it is better to stop it). The minimum stop is 35 points, the maximum is 65 points;

After passing the positive zone 35-40 points, the transaction is transferred to the balance;

We close the deal at the market price at the time of closing the first day after entering the market.

Sell

After a white candle with a small body, a confident black "Elephant" candle is formed;
After the "Elephant" a second black "Pug" candle is formed with the same conditions of purchase;

At the opening of the next day, the candle opens a deal for sale; Stop loss and take profit are set in the same way as the purchase.
