3-2 (outside bar follow-through)
A directional break of an outside bar's high or low. The 2 declares which side of the 3 was real.
An outside bar followed by a break of its high or low. The 3 took both sides of the bar before it; the 2 that follows declares which of those moves was real.
Because an outside bar is wide, the plan behind a 3-2 is wide too.
Bullish

How are 3-2 (outside bar follow-through) 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.
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.
