The 1-2-3 set up intraday

Ahhh, the 1-2-3 intraday reversal pattern.  One of my favorites that I have not played in quite some time to the long side.  It is one of my most profitable trades with a very high win %.


Here is a link to my original blog on this subject.

Many oils had this same look today.  All on 30 minute support and put in a beautiful reversal pattern.

You wait for your higher low (confirmed on the wick)  and its off to the races.  If you time the pattern you weren't ever in a losing trade.  EMAs also helped to time your entry.  If you held for the whole move (Unlike me)  that was almost a $2 gain on 15 cents risk.

  1. Yep.. really nice. The 1-2-3 to the long side is even better when oversold on the daily too. In this case, USO also took off at this time. Nice when it all aligns. Nice job!
