Inside Bar Trading

What is Inside Bar Trading?

  • Inside Bar Trading is a price action trading strategy that focuses on a specific candlestick formation known as the "inside bar."
  • An inside bar occurs when the current bar's high and low are within the range of the previous bar, referred to as the "mother bar."
  • This formation indicates consolidation and potential indecision in the market, often leading to further price movement.

    • Identifying Inside Bars

  • Look for a candle whose high is lower and low is higher than the preceding candle.
  • The inside bar can take place at various positions, including the top, middle, or bottom of the mother bar.
  • Traders often use indicators to spot inside bars quickly, such as the R Inside Bar indicator, which highlights potential breakouts above resistance and below support lines on the chart.

    • Trading Strategies with Inside Bars

  • One common approach is to enter a buy order if the candle closes above the inside bar and a sell order if it closes below.
  • This strategy can be enhanced by combining with other indicators like RSI or ATR for better confirmation and risk management.
  • The effectiveness increases when trading in the direction of the prevailing trend. ☝️
