The 1-2-3 continuation setup alerts are based on the 1-2-3 continuation buy and sell signals.  We look at the same formula, but we report when the stock price is close to that pattern.

Some stocks move more quickly than others.  Sometimes you may see a setup a long time before the signal.  Sometimes there may be no signal at all.  Other times the setup may occur at approximately the same time as the buy or sell signal.

The stock price may move very quickly after the entry signal.  If you trust the formula as is, then use the buy / sell signal alerts.  They will notify you the instant that a stock matches the 1-2-3 formula.  However, if you want to look at a chart to check for other criteria, then you need some advance notice.  In that case, look at these setup alerts.  Bring up a chart as soon as you see one of these alerts.
