The 1-2-3 Field Guide: what is in it?

1-2-3 Candle AlertsLast updated October 22, 2026
Quick answerSeven short chapters: the anatomy, what counts and what does not, why the breakout works, three real calls (a target, a stop, a day-30 exit), the exits with their real counts, what the record says about strong and weak ones, and an evening routine. On your page, and as a PDF.
The details

Read it

Open 1-2-3 Candle Alerts and press The 1-2-3 Field Guide under Your 4 bonuses (open it). The Download the Field Guide (PDF) button is at the top.

The chapters

  1. The anatomy: candle 1, 2 and 3 and the close that calls it.
  2. What counts, and the near misses the scanner skips.
  3. Why the breakout works: the level, the shake-out, the break.
  4. Three real calls on our own charts: one that hit the target, one that was stopped, one that went out on day 30.
  5. The exits and their honest arithmetic, with how many calls ended each way.
  6. Strong or weak: what we checked (candle 2's size, how far the close clears the line, how soon it comes, the market's weather) and whether each held up year by year.
  7. Your evening routine.

The numbers

The page reads them from the record each time it loads. The PDF is a copy made on the day shown on its cover, so its numbers are as of that day.
