Remove inside bars from calculations

  Hi,

  Is there a way to remove all the inside bars, so that the code ignores them in its calculations? So for example I am looking for a directional bar down (Low> Low[1]) , (High < High[1]) ,relative to the previous bar that is not an  inside bar.

  I would still like to display all the bars as normal on the chart.

   

  Many thanks in advance.

  Sorry I meant (low<Low[1]) and (High<High[1]).

  Is this what you mean?

  InsideBAR = 0 IF (high <= high[1]) AND (low >= low[1]) THEN InsideBAR = 1 ENDIF Signal = 0 IF Not InsideBAR THEN IF (low < low[1]) AND (high < high[1]) THEN Signal = 1 ENDIF ENDIF RETURN Signal AS "My Pattern"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  InsideBAR = 0 IF (high <= high[1]) AND (low >= low[1]) THEN    InsideBAR = 1 ENDIF Signal = 0 IF Not InsideBAR THEN    IF (low < low[1]) AND (high < high[1]) THEN       Signal = 1    ENDIF ENDIF RETURN Signal AS "My Pattern"

  Not quite. Unless I have misunderstood how to use your code.

  I am working on an indicator that requires inside bars (or multiple inside bars) to be ignored completely. The problem comes when a bar down comes after an inside bar but itself is an inside bar to a previous larger bar.

  I am looking to find a low bar relative to the previous bar that is not an inside bar. I thought if I removed all inside bars from the calculations then the (Low<Low[1]) and (High< High[1]) would work correctly based on the remaining bars.

  This modified version tracks an InsideBAR until any of its limits are broken, thus preventing signals from being returned:

  ONCE InsideBAR = 0 ONCE InsideHH = 0 ONCE InsideLL = 0 IF InsideBAR THEN IF (high > InsideHH) OR (low < InsideLL) THEN InsideBAR = 0 InsideHH = 0 InsideLL = 0 ENDIF ENDIF IF ((high <= high[1]) AND (low >= low[1])) AND Not InsideBAR THEN InsideBAR = 1 InsideHH = high[1] InsideLL = low[1] ENDIF Signal = 0 IF Not InsideBAR THEN IF (low < low[1]) AND (high < high[1]) THEN Signal = 1 ENDIF ENDIF RETURN Signal AS "My Pattern"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  ONCE InsideBAR = 0 ONCE InsideHH  = 0 ONCE InsideLL  = 0 IF InsideBAR THEN    IF (high > InsideHH) OR (low < InsideLL) THEN       InsideBAR = 0       InsideHH  = 0       InsideLL  = 0    ENDIF ENDIF IF ((high <= high[1]) AND (low >= low[1])) AND Not InsideBAR THEN    InsideBAR = 1    InsideHH  = high[1]    InsideLL  = low[1] ENDIF Signal = 0 IF Not InsideBAR THEN    IF (low < low[1]) AND (high < high[1]) THEN       Signal = 1    ENDIF ENDIF RETURN Signal AS "My Pattern"
