Inside Bar Trading
Setup: Identify Inside Bar (i.e candle/bar inside the range of previous day)
1). Draw the High & Low of the candle/bar
2). Wait for the candle/bar to close below (in case of low) & above (in case of High) of the Mother candle.
3). When the candle closed above the High, place buy order above (0.10% above high) the high price. Here 0.10% from the high price is to avoid wrong trade. The reverse holds good for when the candle closed below the Low.
4). Target: In case of Long: The High price of mother candle and Low price of candle closing below to be taken. Calculate the difference of High-Low and from that difference 50% would be the target. Reverse is for Short.
5). SL: Same 50% difference
The above is explained in the chart for better understanding.
ACC-I
1). Inside Bar occured on 03.01.13 & 04.01.13 (circled in Red)
2). High : 1464.30 & Low: 1444.70
3). 07.01.13 breached the High/Low and closed at 1427.45 (which means go short). The Low is 1425.10
4). 08.01.13 open sell order @ 1423.70 (i.e. 1425.10 less 0.10%)
5). Difference between High/Low (Mother candle High & Triger candle Low : 1464.30 - 1425.10 = 39.20 & 50% of 39.20 is 19.60)
6). Stop Loss : 1425.10 + 19.60 = 1444.70
7). Profit Target : 1423.70 - 19.60 = 1404.10
8). Risk Reward Ratio : 1:1
