3-1-2

An outside bar, one inside bar to digest it, then the break. Continuation or reversal by the outside bar's color.

An outside bar (took both sides of the bar before it), an inside bar, then a break of that inside bar. The market expanded, took exactly one bar to agree on a range, then chose a direction.

The outside bar's close color names the flavor: breaking the same way the 3 closed is a 3-1-2 Continuation, breaking against it is a 3-1-2 Reversal. The 3-1 before the break is also known as the Holy Grail (a TradingWarz name).

Bullish

3, inside bar, then the break of the inside bar's high.

Bearish

3, inside bar, then the break of the inside bar's low.

How are 3-1-2 alerts graded?

Each alert carries an entry, a stop and target 1 when it fires. It counts as a win if price reaches target 1 before the stop and a loss if the stop trades first; one 15-minute bar touching both counts as a loss. Alerts stay open until one of them happens.

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.
