Three inside up

Bullish

A harami — a small bar tucked inside a long red body — followed by a third green bar closing above that first body: the harami alone only says the decline paused, and this bar says which way it resolved

Most patterns resolve their way only 50–60% of the time — nearly half miss.

Textbook shape

How to read it

A long red bar, then a small bar tucked entirely inside its body (a harami), then a third green bar closing above that first body. The harami alone only says the decline paused; the third bar says which way the pause resolved.

So the confirming bar is the point. The same harami with a third bar closing lower does not earn this name — which is why textbooks rank this above a bare harami.

When the confirmation lands, SQMATE removes yesterday's harami icon and replaces it with this one, so the same story never occupies two marks on consecutive days.

A window SQMATE's detectors actually flagged in past bars. It records a day that worked out — the same shape doesn't always resolve the same way.

No more eyeballing charts

You don't have to flip through charts hunting for shapes. Signal watch pings your browser the moment a condition is met, patterns on your watchlist arrive by email, and the screener lists every symbol that matched today.

SQMATE draws the lines

Support lines, trendlines, channels — the lines you need to read a pattern are drawn for you, so no time goes into drawing.

Patterns aren't the whole story

The same shape doesn't always resolve the same way. It's safer to read it together with candles, volume, and market context — news, catalysts, flows.
