MT4 Inside & Outside Bar Indicator searches for recurring price patterns – Inside and Outside bars (Engulfing bar).
The Inside bar is a bar whose range completely overlaps the range of the previous bar, while an Outside bar, on the contrary, is a bar whose range completely overlaps the range of the previous bar.
Inside & Outside patterns bars are often formed after a strong market movement, after which the market enters a state of consolidation or price movement uncertainty. Based on the analysis of patterns, the indicator can determine the likely further direction of the trend reversal / continuation.
For the convenience of monitoring trading signals, the indicator has a dashboard that allows you to comprehensively assess the current market situation and respond to its changes in a timely manner.
The indicator allows you to set up assets and select patterns for tracking (both together and separately). For everyone from patterns, setting alerts are provided.
In the indicator parameters, you can also select any standard timeframe to search for trading signals. This makes it possible to use MT4 Inside & Outside Bar Indicator in various trading styles from scalping to day trading.
The peculiarity of using the patterns Inside and Outside bar is that they are used, as a rule, on timeframes from M30 and higher. This is due to the fact that there is a lot of price noise on the lower timeframes and these patterns are not effective enough in such conditions.
The indicator generates signals when it detects Inside & Outside bars, which are reversal / continuation patterns of the current trend.
Depending on the type of the signal bar, the probable further direction of price movement is determined. If the bar on which the pattern was formed was bullish, this is a BUY signal. If a bar was bearish, this is a SELL signal.
Signal arrows have different degrees of thickness. Thin arrows show the signal of the Outside bar pattern, and large arrows show the signal of the Inside bar.
For each of the found trading signals, there is an additional indication in the form of a vertical signature of the pattern abbreviation and a dotted rectangle highlighting the pattern found by the indicator (IBU – Inside bar Up, IBD – Inside bar Down, OBU – Outside bar Up, OBD – Outside bar down).
The dashboard shows information about the current status of detecting signals.
The dashboard displays information about which pattern was found Inside/ Outside, the recommended direction of trading Up / Down and the serial number of the bar (number of bars ago) on which the signal was detected.
The color of the cell indicates the direction of the trade (BUY – green, SELL – red) and changes the saturation of the main color depending on how much the distance of the bars from the last bar on which the signal was detected increases.
