What is an Inside Bar?
An Inside Bar is a candlestick pattern where the current candle’s high and low are fully inside the previous candle’s range. It signals a moment of market pause — compression before a potential breakout.
Common uses:
Breakout entry in the direction of the trend
Detect upcoming strong price movement
Entry signals at key support/resistance levels
What is Momentum?
Momentum measures the strength of price movement — showing whether the market is gaining or losing force in a certain direction.
Common uses:
Confirm trend direction before entering
Spot possible reversals on weakening momentum
Avoid counter-trend trades
How to Combine Inside Bar + Momentum
Here’s a simple but powerful rule:
Only trade Inside Bar breakouts in the direction confirmed by Momentum Pro.
Examples:
If Momentum Pro confirms an uptrend, only take bullish Inside Bar breakouts.
If it confirms a downtrend, only take bearish Inside Bar breakouts.
If the two signals conflict → skip the trade.
This approach helps you avoid weak breakouts and only enter when both price action and momentum agree.
