Other patterns

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.
