Inside Bar Breakout FailureSimple indicator to highlight Inside Bar Breakout Failure patterns on chart.
Inside Bar (Body-based) Ind/AlertDescription:
This indicator detects Inside Bar patterns based strictly on the candle body (open/close range) of the mother candle, rather than the traditional high/low wick method. An inside bar is highlighted when the current candle’s entire body is contained within the body of the previous candle.
It can be useful for traders who want a more conservative and reliable definition of inside bars, focusing on true consolidation periods and filtering out signals caused by extended wicks.
Features:
Body-based Inside Bar detection:
The indicator colors and marks candles where the current bar’s body is fully within the previous bar’s body.
Bullish/Bearish identification:
Bullish inside bars are marked in green, bearish in red.
Double Inside Bar Detection:
An optional feature marks when two consecutive candles’ bodies are inside the same mother bar body—potentially indicating stronger consolidation.
Alerts:
Set alerts for single or double inside bars for automated monitoring.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Look for colored bars or plotted shapes for inside bar signals based on candle bodies.
Use alerts to get notified in real time when inside bar patterns appear.
Note:
This script uses only the candle body (open and close) for inside bar calculations, which may help filter out less reliable signals found with wick-based approaches.
Inside Bars (Multiple / Consecutive)Description
When an inside bar is found, the indicator remembers the high and low (= range) of the candle before the inside bar.
As long as price moves within the range, every bar is highlighted as an inside bar to the range.
Purpose
The indicator can assist when identifying valid pullbacks and buy-side liquidity (BSL) / sell-side liquidity (SSL).

Inside BarsInside Bars Indicator
Description:
This indicator identifies and highlights price action patterns where a bar's high and low
are completely contained within the previous bar's range. Inside bars are significant
technical patterns that often signal a period of price consolidation or uncertainty,
potentially leading to a breakout in either direction.
Trading Literature & Theory:
Inside bars are well-documented in technical analysis literature:
- Steve Nison discusses them in "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" as a form
of harami pattern, indicating potential trend reversals
- Thomas Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" categorizes inside bars as
a consolidation pattern with statistical significance for breakout trading
- Alexander Elder references them in "Trading for a Living" as indicators of
decreasing volatility and potential energy build-up
- John Murphy's "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" includes inside bars
as part of price action analysis for market psychology understanding
The pattern is particularly significant because it represents:
1. Volatility Contraction: A narrowing of price range indicating potential energy build-up
2. Institutional Activity: Often shows large players absorbing or distributing positions
3. Decision Point: Market participants evaluating the previous bar's significance
Trading Applications:
1. Breakout Trading
- Watch for breaks above the parent bar's high (bullish signal)
- Monitor breaks below the parent bar's low (bearish signal)
- Multiple consecutive inside bars can indicate stronger breakout potential
2. Market Psychology
- Inside bars represent a period of equilibrium between buyers and sellers
- Shows market uncertainty and potential energy building up
- Often precedes significant price movements
Best Market Conditions:
- Trending markets approaching potential reversal points
- After strong momentum moves where the market needs to digest gains
- Near key support/resistance levels
- During pre-breakout consolidation phases
Complementary Indicators:
- Volume indicators to confirm breakout strength
- Trend indicators (Moving Averages, ADX) for context
- Momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) for additional confirmation
Risk Management:
- Use parent bar's range for stop loss placement
- Wait for breakout confirmation before entry
- Consider time-based exits if breakout doesn't occur
- More reliable on higher timeframes
Note: The indicator works best when combined with proper risk management
and overall market context analysis. Avoid trading every inside bar pattern
and always confirm with volume and other technical indicators.
Inside Bars ITInside Bars IT Indicator
The Inside Bars IT indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify Inside Bars and their extended patterns (InsideBar2) on any chart. An Inside Bar is a candlestick pattern where the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern often signals market consolidation and potential breakout opportunities.
The indicator extends the concept of Inside Bars by introducing InsideBar2, which uses the high and low of the first Inside Bar as reference levels. Subsequent candles are classified as InsideBar2 if their high is less than or equal to the reference high and their low is greater than or equal to the reference low.
Inside Bar FinderInside bars occur when the range of a candlestick falls entirely within the previous candlestick's range. This indicates volatility contraction which often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements.
This indicator includes options such as:
- The number of consecutive inside bars required to trigger the indicator
- Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the outermost or innermost bars
Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if inside bars increase the probability of identifying the direction of price movements. Breaks or closes outside the inside or outside signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.
Inside Bar Strategy w/ SL"Inside bars are a two -bar pattern. They can indicate either a continuation of the
existing move or a reversal. A continuation occurs when there is no significant
support or resistance level in sight, while a reversal occurs close to a strong sup-
port or resistance level...
...A lot of traders are aware of inside bars but few manage to make money with
them. Why is this so? It goes back to interpreting price action. A lot of traders look
to trade in geometric ways. What I mean is that they search for fancy shapes on a
chart and think that this is what represents true price action.
This is not the case. A shape is just a shape. The formation by itself means
nothing unless underlying order flow backs it up. This is why it’s extremely
important that you look for inside bars when a trend is already in place.
The best place to look for them is in the beginning of trends."
Inside Bar by TarunInside bars occur when the current bar's high is lower than the previous bar's high and the current bar's low is higher than the previous bar's low. The script changes the color of inside bars to orange for better visualization.

highColor: Color of the horizontal line representing the high of the inside bar.
lowColor: Color of the horizontal line representing the low of the inside bar.
showHighLowLabel: Option to display labels for the high and low prices.

The script checks for the conditions of an inside bar:
high < high and low > low
If an inside bar is detected and is not already in the range:
* Stores the high and low prices of the previous bar.
* Records the parent bar index and sets the broken flag to false.
If the current bar's high exceeds the stored high or the low falls below the stored low, the broken flag is set to true.
If the current bar is within the stored high and low range, it is considered in-range.
The script then dynamically plots horizontal lines at the high and low prices of the parent bar until the inside bar is broken.
3. Visualization:
The inside bars are colored based on the insideCandlesColor.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the high and low prices of the parent bar within the inside bar.
Optional labels display the rounded values of the high and low prices.
4. Usage:
Apply the script to your chart.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences.
The indicator will highlight inside bars with colored bars and draw lines representing the high and low prices. Labels are optional.
5. Note:
Inside bars are bars where the entire price range is within the high and low of the previous bar.
The script uses historical bar information and visualizes the inside bars dynamically on the chart.

Inside Bar SetupScript Details
- This script plots Inside Bar for given day in selected time-frame (applicable only for Timeframes < Day)
- Basis plotted inside bar, relevant targets are marked on the chart
- Targets can be customised from script settings. Example, if range of mother candle is 10 points, then T1 is 10 * x above/below mother candle and T2 is 10 * y above/below mother candle. This x & y are configured via script settings
How to use this script ?
- This script works well on 10-15 mins timeframe for stocks, 15/30 mins timeframe for nifty index and 30/60 mins time frame for bank nifty index
- If mother candle high is broken, take long trade with SL of mother candle low and if low is broken, take short trade with SL of mother candle high
Remember:
1. Above logic is to be combined with support/resistances i.e. price action. This script is an add-on to price action analysis giving you more conviction.
2. If range of mother candle is very high, it is recommended to avoid the trade.
3. Basis inside bar formed on higher time frame, take trade on basis of lower time frame i.e if inside bar is formed on 60 mins, take trade on the basis of 10-15 mins time frame
Example:
1. As seen in the chart, Nifty is near it's resistance and we are seeing Inside Bar being formed, In such scenario, even if High of Mother Candle is broken, we should be more interested to short as we are near resistance and probability of getting our targets in long side is less.
2. So, if I see breakdown of mother candle i.e. price going below low of mother candle, we will short with SL of high of mother candle.
3. As seen in the chart, both the targets are achieved.
Additional Info:
1. Targets on Long/Short Side can be configured via settings. For indices 1 times/1.5 times the range works well.
2. This script plots targets basis the first inside bar formed in the day for selected time frame.
3. Inside bars formed through out the day are coloured separately but lines are plotted only on the basis of 1st formed inside bar as this strategy works well for the first formed inside bar)
4. Don't forget to check volume in case of breakout/breakdown.
Note:
1. Mother Candle - First Candle of Inside Bar
2. Child Candle - Candle formed inside Mother Candle (Second Candle of Inside Bar)
Happy Trading :)
Inside Bars / Nested Bars (+ Gaps) [jenaparadies]📌 Features
Highlight inside bars
Highlight bars that remain within the range of a mother bar (called nested bars )
Highlight the mother bar (optional)
Highlight consecutive nested bars using a visual box (optional)
Enable no-gap candle logic (optional, see below)
Show no-gap candles on the chart (optional)
Fully customizable colors and appearance
📌 Method
An inside bar is any candle whose high is lower than or equal to the previous candle's high, and whose low is higher than or equal to the previous candle's low. In other words, the entire price action of the inside bar remains within the range of the previous candle without exceeding it. The preceding candle is referred to as the mother bar .
Occasionally, the candle following the inside bar may break above or below the inside bar's range, while still remaining fully within the high and low of the mother bar. These candles are referred to as nested bars and are highlighted in a different color.
Optionally, sequences of consecutive nested bars can be enclosed within a box to emphasize consolidation zones.
📌 No-Gap Candles (Optional)
This feature adjusts each candle’s opening price so that it matches the closing price of the previous candle. It is particularly useful for assets that frequently experience large gaps between candles.
By extending each candle's effective range to include the previous candle's close, the indicator maintains structural consistency over timeframes, especially when the open price deviates significantly from the prior close. Inside bars are then identified relative to the extended range of the mother bar.
Optionally, the adjusted no-gap candles can be visualized directly on the chart for better clarity.
🎁 Bonus
Activating the "Show No-Gap Candles" option transforms any line chart into a gap-free bar chart ‒ ideal for visualizing economic data such as inflation rates.
