Inside Bar is one of the most reliable candlestick patterns used by price action traders. It often signals an impending breakout. This premium indicator not only detects every Inside Bar on your chart, but also identifies the likely direction (bullish / bearish / neutral), draws a projection rectangle from the mother candle, and sends instant alerts to your desktop and mobile.
