๐Advice on trading the Inside Bar
โข Inside bars can have multiple inside bars within the mother candle, sometimes youโll 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.
โข Inside bars work best on the higher time frame.
โข For swing trading, weekly inside bars work best.
โข 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.
โข 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.
โข Use half quantity, when inside bar breakout/breakdown is given against the trend.
A moving average is a technical indicator that investors and traders use to determine the trend direction of a stock or to determine its support and resistance levels.
It is a trend-following or lagging indicator because it is based on past prices.
๐Types of Moving Average
๐ Simple Moving Average (SMA): SMA is a technical indicator calculated by adding the most recent data points in a set and dividing the total by the number of time periods.
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a tool which is used for day trading only. It shows the average price of a stock weighted by the total trading volume. The VWAP is used to calculate the average price of a stock over a period of time.
Generally, whenever the price trades below vwap it should not be bought and if trades above vwap it should not be
sold, but it is not always the case.
Vwap is based on historical data and can be used to determine the right intraday trend.
