1-1-2 (double inside break)

Two inside bars in a row, then the break. Two bars of compression released at once.

Two consecutive inside bars, then the break of the second one. Each inside bar shrinks the range and stacks orders on both sides, so the break releases two bars of stored energy.

You don't guess the direction in advance: it is whichever side breaks.

Bullish

1, 1, then the break of the last inside bar's high.

Bearish

1, 1, then the break of the last inside bar's low.

How are 1-1-2 (double inside break) alerts graded?

How grading works: every break alert carries an entry, a stop and target 1 when it fires. An alert counts as a win if price reaches target 1 before the stop and a loss if the stop trades first; if one 15-minute bar touches both, it counts as a loss. Alerts stay open until one of them happens. Examples shown here are the most recent resolved alerts at least 7 days old, wins and losses alike. Live alerts and today's levels are for members.
