This post is dedicated to the fourth Bearish Setup - the Triple Rising Top. This proprietary 3-candlestick reversal pattern, characterized by progressively higher highs, boasts a very high win ratio. It typically forms after a significant advance but can also form after a small advance against strong resistance.
(Fig 1.1 - Chart example of Triple Rising Top)
To be considered tradable within our strategy, the setup must meet specific criteria:
Setup Conditions:
Formation Timing: The setup should complete on C3 at 12 PM, C4 at 1 PM, or C5 at 2 PM.
Trading Conditions:
Trades at 1 PM (Completion of C4): The setup should form at C3 or C4. If the setup forms at C3, C4 should not be an adverse green candle or a long red candle. Look for a narrow-range candle (red or green) or a small doji indicating consolidation.
Trades at 2 PM (Completion of C5): The setup should form at C5.
The setup must meet the trade selection criteria (refer to the "Trade Selection" section for details).
Key Elements of a Strong Triple Rising Top:
Setup Formation:
First Candle: Usually a long bullish candle.
Second Candle: Makes a higher high but is a narrow-range candle, red or green.
Third Candle: Makes a higher high than the second but closes weak, like a reverse hammer or a long/medium-sized red candle. There could be other variations of the first and second candle. However, the third candle should close weak else the setup is invalid. This pattern is powerful as it traps bulls on the wrong side of the move, who are then forced to liquidate their positions, providing momentum to the move.
Test of Resistance :
Ideally, the highest high of the 3rd candle should test an important resistance level, although this is not compulsory. If the highest high breaches an important resistance before reversing and forming a strong bearish candle below it, the setup gains additional conviction.
By 1 PM or 2 PM as the case may be, you should have decided whether to take the trade or step aside. If you’re unsure, it’s better to step aside. Avoid chasing momentum at unfavourable prices when the market becomes fast.

Win Ratio: The Win Ratio, a critical input for Trade Selection, is simply the number of successful trades divided by the total trades. The Win Ratio of this setup is 100% based on backtesting past data for the last 2 years.
