Shark 32 Pattern Pro

Hello Traders!

The Shark32 pattern comprises multiple inside bars—each candle’s high/low is contained within the previous candle’s range—creating a tight consolidation zone. Once price breaks out, volatility frequently expands, producing sharper moves. The pattern is known for its relatively high continuation rate and the ability to offer tight risk/reward setups. It also calculates statistics, highlights stop/target levels, and offers fully customizable visuals so you can adapt the tool to your trading style.

How to Trade with This Indicator:

1. Identifying the Pattern: Wait till a Shark 32 pattern is formed.
   
2. Entry Rule: Enter on a confirmed close above the pattern high (for bullish) or below the pattern low (for bearish).
   
3. Stop Placement: Place stops a few ticks beyond the opposite side of the pattern. Tight ranges = small risk. Or use the mid-range of the pattern as a stop level.
   
4. Target Options: Aim for Risk/Reward Ratio of 2R or 3R to capture a strong follow-through. Alternatively, use the measured move of the first bar's height as a target.
   

Tips for Better Reliability:

1. Trend Alignment: Shark 32 breakouts usually work best in the direction of the broader market or trend.
   
2. Confirmation: Look for a significant volume increase at the breakout—helps filter out “fake” moves.
   
3. Throwback Awareness: ~64% of upside breakouts retest the pattern boundary; stay patient if you see a pullback.
   
4. Risk Management: Maintain tight stops and consider using alerts for activation/breakout signals.
