recent examples of inside bars in 60 min charts...
Date - Hour Bar
11/9 - 13:00
12/9 - 11:00
15/9 - 12:00
16/9 - 13:00
all these bars were "inside bars" ie their High and Low (let's call them H1 and L1) were within the High & Low of the preceding bar(let's call them H2 & L2)...
Ideally & theoretically, when an inside bar breaks, for eg, on the upside, then above H1, H2 is generally the first target.. similiarly, if breaks down below L1, then L2 should come up...
Inside-bars works well on bigger TFs... they are actually meant for EOD charts... i thought of bringing them into our intraday trading by using the 60 min chart as perspective..
i'll be experimenting & posting such trades here...
(i'll also see the possibility of bringing down the TF to 30 min... but below that TF is really not advisable, as there are chances of whipsaws & lesser H2s or L2s
