Hi traders. I thought we were missing an inside bar breakout failure indicator.

Add it to the price chart.

Inside bar is a famous trading pattern in which the bar carry higher low and lower high compared with the previous bar, also known as mother bar. It’s compatible with any time frame like the 1 hour chart or the daily one. Inside bar pattern will sometimes appears to be similar to a triangle pattern. An inside bar pattern detection is a possible breakout signal by its nature, If you are looking to buy, you need to place a buy-stop entry on the upper part of the inside bar and if you are looking to sell, you may place your sell-stop entry at low of the inside bar.
