It all comes from one simple rule.

candle 2's high 1 2 3 BUY the closeabove it
On our charts the three candles glow teal, purple and pink, with a badge by each.
  1. Candle 1 is red.
  2. Candle 2 is a bigger green candle with the highest high.
  3. Candle 3 is red again.
  4. Over candle 2's high at 3:45 PM is the buy.

Then the trade has set exits: +5% target, −10% stop, out on day 30.

Let me show you what each candle is telling you.

Candle 1 · the sellers' day

A red candle: the day closed lower than it opened. On its own it means nothing. It's the setup: the market leaned one way and the sellers won the day.

Candle 2 · the answer

A green candle, and a big one: its body, open to close, is bigger than candle 1's and bigger than candle 3's. Its high is the highest of the three.

The buyers didn't just stop the sellers. They overpowered them. Candle 2's high becomes the line.

Candle 3 · the test

Red again: the sellers try to take it back. But the day can't climb over candle 2's high, and its body is smaller than candle 2's.

It's a pullback, not a reversal. The buyers are holding the ground they took.

3:45 PM · the trigger

Over candle 2's high at 3:45 PM, with 15 minutes left in the day. Not a poke in the morning: the price with the day nearly done, while you can still buy.

The buyers have taken out the high the sellers defended. That's the call, and that's your entry.

Two kinds. Both work.

The continuation

A stock already going up (its 10-day average rising) takes a breather: one red day, one big green day, one red day. The break over candle 2's high says the trend is picking back up.

The reversal

A stock that has been sliding (its 10-day average falling) gets its first real fight from the buyers, and the buyers win it. The break over candle 2's high is the first sign the slide is over.

Our scanner calls both on the daily chart. You don't have to tell them apart: the rule is the same.

How to spot one in five seconds

  1. Find the biggest green candle on the right side of the chart.
  2. Check its neighbours: a red candle before it, a red candle after it, both smaller, neither higher.
  3. Draw a line at the big green candle's high.
  4. Wait for 3:45 PM with the price above that line. Buy before the close; then the exits go in.

And what does not count:

  • Candle 2's body smaller than candle 1's or candle 3's. It has to be the big one.
  • Candle 1 or candle 3 reaching higher than candle 2. Candle 2 holds the highest high.
  • A green candle 3. The test has to be a red day.
  • A poke over the line in the morning that is back under it by 3:45. Only the price at 3:45 counts.
  • A new 1-2-3 within 10 candles of the last one. The newer pattern takes over the line.

These are the scanner's own rules, the same ones every call on this page was made with.

Picture this. It's 3:45 PM.

Three ordinary afternoons, three real 1-2-3 calls from our record. Watch what happens when the ding comes.

Real calls from our scanner's record, scored on the entry the 3:45 PM alert gives, on the stock. The stories around them are just afternoons like yours. Past results, not a promise about the next one.

PINS, Oct 15.

Candle 1, candle 2, candle 3. Then over candle 2's high, the buy at $22.73: the call.

Oct 9Oct 15Oct 21Oct 271231-2-3 BUY19.0021.0022.0023.00TP 23.86Entry 22.7320.58SL 20.45PINSDailyfindbettercharts

This one didn't work. 8 trading days later it hit the stop at $20.45, −10.0%.

Some calls get stopped. That is what the stop is for, and every one stays on the record.

Three candles. Over candle 2's high at 3:45. A trade with set exits. That's the whole rule.

So why does it work? It's a breakout. A small one.

Every breakout has the same three parts: a level, a test of it, and a close through it. The 1-2-3 packs all three into four candles.

The level

Candle 2 is the buyers' big push. Its high is where they ran out of room, and it becomes the line the sellers defend.

The shake-out

Candle 3 pulls back. The traders who bought candle 2 and lose their nerve sell here. That's the weak hands leaving.

The break

Then a daily close above candle 2's high: the buyers break through the very level that just held them back.

Oct 7Oct 14Oct 211231-2-3 BUY62.0064.0066.0068.0074.00TP 73.3272.73Entry 69.83SL 62.85KREDailyfindbettercharts

KRE, Oct 16: the level, the shake-out and the close through it, on our own chart.

Everyone who sold candle 1 and candle 3 is now on the wrong side. That's the move you want to be early for, with your exits already set.

No forecasts, no news, no earnings guesses. Just the candles you can see on any daily chart.

When does it do its best work?

We split every finished call by what the market was doing the day it was called: the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200-day average, or knocked down under it.

Market knocked down89%closed in profit · 187 calls · +3.86% a callSPY under its 200-day average on the call's day
Market riding high68%closed in profit · 1,079 calls · +0.90% a callSPY over its 200-day average

It works in both. But it has done its best work after the market gets knocked down.

Every finished call, scored on today's rules; SPY's close against its own 200-day average on each call's day. We think it can keep going when the market cooperates. Past results, not a promise.

Does it hold up when the market changes?

Here is every 1-2-3 call our scanner has finished, scored on today's rules, by the year it finished:

202470%closed in profit · 113 calls · +1.27% a call
202572%closed in profit · 646 calls · +1.54% a call
202669%closed in profit · 507 calls · +1.09% a call
71%of 1,266 finished calls
69%in the last 365 days (615 calls)
68%in the last 90 days (141 calls)

Every call our scanner finished since June 18, 2024, scored on today's rules (the −10% stop, the +5% target, out on day 30), on the stock. We picked the rules on older months and checked them on months they had never seen. Past results, not a promise.

Most traders can spot a pattern like this.

Their problem is where they get in.

A ✗B ✗C ✗✓
Illustration. A chases candle 2's top. B guesses on candle 3's drop. C buys after the move is gone. ✓ waits for the close above candle 2's high.

One clean entry: the close above candle 2's high. Not before. Not long after.

Why the exits are set before you're in

Every 1-2-3 call comes with three exits, and they never move: the target 5% over the entry, the stop 10% under it, and out at the close on day 30 if neither comes first.

Here's the honest arithmetic. A win is smaller than a loss, so this only works because it wins often. Of the 1,266 finished calls, 897 closed in profit, and the average call made +1.34% on the stock (+1.02% over the last 365 days). That's the record you'd be trading, stops and all.

  1. Daily chart only. We tested the faster charts. The daily won, so it's the only one we call.
  2. Three candles, in order: red, a bigger green with the highest high, red.
  3. The trigger is a close above candle 2's high, not a touch during the day.
  4. Exits go in right away: +5% target, −10% stop, out on day 30.
  5. Options, if you want them: the monthly call one strike in the money, about 90 days out, sold when the stock is +5% or on day 30. When the options trade too wide, trade the stock.

Here's what a real alert looks like.

Questions

How many alerts will I get?

It depends on the market: a 1-2-3 is called only when all three candles form and a daily close clears candle 2's high. The scanner checks every stock and ETF we follow each evening. Your members page shows every open call and every setup forming.

When do the alerts come?

At 3:45 PM ET, before the close, while you can still buy: the stock is over candle 2's high with 15 minutes left. After the close a short note confirms it.

Do I have to trade options?

No. Every alert gives the stock trade: the entry, the +5% target, the −10% stop and day 30. The options trade is there if you want it, with its own exits. When a stock's options trade too wide, the alert says to trade the stock.

What is the options trade?

The monthly call one strike in the money, about 90 days out. Sell it when the stock is +5% over the entry, or at the close on day 30. No stop on the option. It is how you play a call with options, not a promise of a bigger return.

Why a 5% target and a 10% stop?

Because that is what tested best on months the rules had never seen. A win is smaller than a loss, so it only works because it wins often: the record on the page shows exactly how often, every finished call, stops included.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment of $97 gets you two full years: you pay for one year and the second year is free. It does not renew and never charges you again.

Will the price change?

1-2-3 Candle Alerts becomes a yearly membership later. Two years for one payment, the second year free, is the founding offer for the people who join now.

Where do the alerts go?

Your members area, Telegram and Discord, all three. You join Telegram and Discord from your members area. The FBT App is coming soon.

What if it is not for me?

You have 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked: just ask through Support in your dashboard.
