Inside Bar Forex Trading Strategy Features

  • Entry conditions are clearly defined.
  • Straightforward bare chart system.
  • High success rate.
  • The rare occurrence of the proper conditions.

How to Trade?

  1. An inside bar is a bar or a chart candlestick that completely fits into the first preceding bar (also called a “container” bar), including its High and Low values.
  2. If the current chart bar has an index of 0 and the previous bar has an index of 1, then the following conditions should be true for the current chart bar to count as an inside bar: High[0] < High[1] and Low[0] > Low[1]. Mind the strict “greater” and “less” operators.
  3. A bearish inside bar that follows a bullish “container” bar on the visible uptrend signals a Short position.
  4. A bullish inside bar that follows a bearish “container” bar on the visible downtrend signals a Long position.
  5. Stop-loss(SL) is set to the Low of the “container” bar for the Long positions and the High of the “container” bar for the Short sell positions.
  6. Take-profit(TP) should be set to the nearest support/resistance level formed by the trend.
