1-2 (inside bar break)
One inside bar, then the break of it. The most common trigger in the method.
An inside bar — a bar whose whole range sits inside the one before it — and then a break of that bar's high or low. Compression, then a decision.
It is the base case every other compression name builds on. Two inside bars first is a 1-1-2, three is a 1-1-1-2, and if the bar the inside sat in was itself an outside bar the break is a 3-1-2 instead. Same idea each time: the tighter the coil, the more the break carries.

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.
