Inside Bar Breakout Failure indicator

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.

//Inside Bar Breakout Failure indicator

atr = averagetruerange[10](close)*0.5

bullcandle=open<close
bearcandle=open>close

insidebarbear= bearcandle and high[0]<high[1] and low[0]>low[1]
if insidebarbear then
 DRAWTEXT("Inside Bar", barindex, high[1]+atr*0.5, Dialog, Standard, 12) COLOURED(0,0,0)
 //DRAWARROWDOWN(barindex,high[1]) COLOURED(0,0,0)
 DRAWCANDLE(open,high,low,close) COLOURED(0,0,0) BORDERCOLOR(255,0,0)

insidebarbull= bullcandle and high[0]<high[1] and low[0]>low[1]

Hi Elsborgtrading thanks for this indicator. I was initially looking for a "IDnr4" which I cannot find, but this indicator of yours will sure make things a whole lot easier to spot! Thanks again. Regards

By adding the inside bar breakout failure candle, which is the next bar after the inside bar. Definition is a either higher high, or lower low, but close within the inside bar. The direction of the market usually goes in the opposite direction of either the a higher high or the lower low. A strategy could be to test the low or high of the previous mother bar. Please back test before putting real money in the strategy.
