Use the Bollinger Bands to assist with reversals using the Engulfing Pattern. There are also indicators that will help you determine the Engulfing Pattern. Just trade the one off the Bollinger Bands. Moving Averages also helps to determine if your in a trend instead of the reversal. Also, you can look at the daily open line...If you say that you'll do a buy trade the Engulfing pattern, off the Bollinger Bands, but only if it is below the daily open, you can get some really good trades in. Vice versa for the sell Engulfing Pattern above the daily open.
