3-2-2 Reversal
Outside bar, a directional pullback, then the break back through the pullback the other way.
An outside bar, a directional bar that leans one way, then a break back through that bar the other way. The 3 cleared both books, the 2 leaned, and the reversal traps everyone who leaned.
Breaking the pullback bar the same way it leaned is just a 2-2 Continuation. The reversal through it is what earns the 3-2-2 name.
Bullish
3, then 2d, then the break of the 2d's high.
Bearish
3, then 2u, then the break of the 2u's low.

How are 3-2-2 Reversal 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.
