How this screen works

An inside bar is a session whose entire range — high to low — fits inside the previous session's range (the 'mother bar'). After a directional move it marks a pause: neither buyers nor sellers could push price beyond yesterday's extremes.

Like the NR7, it is a compression setup: the standard play is to trade the break of the mother bar's high or low, with the opposite side as the stop. This screen lists the latest inside bars, tightest range first.

An inside bar is flagged when the latest session's high is below the previous session's high AND its low is above the previous session's low — full containment, both sides.

The 'Day Range %' column shows how tight the inside bar is relative to price; tighter bars give better-defined triggers and stops.

Inside bars in strong trends often resolve in the trend's direction (continuation); at extremes they can mark exhaustion. Direction comes from the break, not the bar. Information, not advice.

FAQ

What is an inside bar?
A session whose entire high-low range sits inside the previous session's range. It shows contraction — the market pausing after a move, with neither side able to extend beyond yesterday's extremes.

How do traders trade inside bars?
The classic approach: place the entry at the break of the mother bar's high or low, with the stop at the opposite extreme. In a trend, traders usually take only breaks in the trend's direction.

Are inside bars bullish or bearish?
Neither on their own — they are pauses. Context decides: an inside bar after a strong rally usually resolves upward (continuation), but the actual break direction is the trigger.

Is an inside bar the same as an NR7?
No. An inside bar requires full containment within yesterday's range; NR7 requires the narrowest range of seven sessions. They measure compression differently and often coincide — that overlap is considered a stronger coil.
