📍Advice on trading the Inside Bar

• Inside bars can have multiple inside bars within the mother candle, sometimes you’ll see 2, 3,4 inside bars within the same mother candle structure, it simply shows a longer period of consolidation, which often leads to a stronger breakout.

• Inside bars work best on the higher time frame.

• For swing trading, weekly inside bars work best.

• For breakout, when the mother candle is too big, one can place stop loss on the opening( for green candle) or closing basis (for red candle) of the mother candle.

• For breakdown, when the mother candle is too big, one can place the stop loss on the opening(for red candle) or closing basis( for green candle) of the mother candle.

• Use half quantity, when inside bar breakout/breakdown is given against the trend.
