Ding. Oct 16. You glance down, tap buy before the 4:00 bell, and close the laptop. About a minute, start to finish.
897 of our 1,266 finished 1-2-3 calls closed in profit.
Every call our scanner has made since June 18, 2024, scored on today's rules. The stops are in there too.
Today I'll show you the one simple pattern behind it: how to spot it, the one entry that matters, and how to get every call the evening it fires.

Same stock. Same pattern. Again and again.
ON, October 2025 to February 2026: the 1-2-3 fired 5 times, and every one reached its +5% target.
And it's not one stock. Every finished call on these hit its target:

It all comes from one simple rule.
- Candle 1 is red.
- Candle 2 is a bigger green candle with the highest high.
- Candle 3 is red again.
- 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.
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.
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
- Find the biggest green candle on the right side of the chart.
- Check its neighbours: a red candle before it, a red candle after it, both smaller, neither higher.
- Draw a line at the big green candle's high.
- 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.
Ding. Oct 15. Between pushes on the swing you read it, tap buy, and pocket the phone. The exits are already set, so there is nothing to babysit but the kids.
Ding. Oct 15. You place the trade before the car door opens. By the time you're home, it's working on its own.
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.
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.
Candle 2 is the buyers' big push. Its high is where they ran out of room, and it becomes the line the sellers defend.
Candle 3 pulls back. The traders who bought candle 2 and lose their nerve sell here. That's the weak hands leaving.
Then a daily close above candle 2's high: the buyers break through the very level that just held them back.
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.
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:
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.
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.
- Daily chart only. We tested the faster charts. The daily won, so it's the only one we call.
- Three candles, in order: red, a bigger green with the highest high, red.
- The trigger is a close above candle 2's high, not a touch during the day.
- Exits go in right away: +5% target, −10% stop, out on day 30.
- 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.
- Oct 16, 3:45 PM. KRE is over candle 2's high with 15 minutes left. The alert lands with the chart, the entry, the target, the stop, the day-30 date and the options trade.
- Before the bell. You buy it before the 4:00 close. The exits are already there.
- Oct 26. KRE reaches the target. The result posts: ✅ KRE hit the target · +5% in 6 days 💵 Take the profit
- Every day in between, your members page shows where it stands, and the recap tells you what opened and what closed.
The alert's words exactly as the room posts them; one past call, not a promise about the next one.

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.
