Tips and Tricks on How to Trade the Inside Bar Candlestick Tips and Tricks on How to Trade the Inside Bar Candlestick Formation
What is an Inside Bar?
An Inside Bar is a two-bar price action pattern where the second bar (the inside bar) is completely contained within the high and low range of the first bar (the mother bar). This often signifies a period of consolidation or indecision.
Trading the Inside Bar:
Breakout Strategy: Look for a strong breakout above the mother bar's high for a long position, or below the mother bar's low for a short position.
Volume Confirmation: Increased volume on the breakout candle can strengthen the signal.
Stop-Loss Placement: Consider placing your stop-loss at the opposite end of the mother bar.
Risk-Reward Ratio: Ensure a favorable risk-reward ratio before entering a trade.
False Breakouts: Be aware of false breakouts, especially in ranging markets.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use the inside bar in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for improved accuracy.
Remember, the inside bar is a powerful tool, but it's not a foolproof strategy. Always practice risk management and consider using it as part of a broader trading plan.

CRWD - Ready to bounce?CRWD - Ready to bounce?
Despite the steep decline in the general market that started in mid July, CRWD was actually trending higher, showing good relative strength. In fact,it is still trading above its 50 day MA while both SPX and NQ is now well below this MA.
There are a few signs that CRWD could be ready to bounce from it's recent correction that started on 19th Oct:
1. Bullish divergence between price and RSI on its daily chart
2. An Inside bar last Friday that could signal the near term correction could be ending
I will long as soon as it crosses above last Friday's candle (inside bar) high @ 175.70 with an initial stop loss about $1 below its recent low @ $170.
Disclaimer:
This is just my own analysis and opinion for discussion and is NOT a trade advice. Kindly do your own due diligence and trade according to your own risk tolerance and don't forget that money management (ie trailing stop loss and position sizing) is (probably the most) important!
Take care and Good Luck!
