Mql5官网 Inside Bar Scanner 外汇EA

This indicator was created to detect possible changes in direction of the market.

Inside bars points to a certain level of indecision coming into the market. Neither side, buyers and sellers, have been able to push the price further up or down resulting in indecision.

We can use this indicator to monitor for inside bar setups and having the indicator signaling the setup to the trader by alert, notification, it provides the trader with a starting point for his/her trading plan.

The validation for the Inside Bars in this indicator is done by choosing a validation mode. Default mode is validation on the whole candle. This means that the inside bar should fall between the high and low of the preceding candle (mother candle). The other mode is validating on the candle BODY. This means that the possible Inside Bar should fall between the Open and Close of the preceding candle.

With this mode, coupled with the minimum range for the mother candle, you can filter the potential inside bars and avoid less valuable signals.

Different validation modes

The indicator contains two sorts of validation whether or not an inside bar exists. Those modes are:

1. Based upon the complete candle. The indicator validates whether the potential Inside Bar high is lower than the mother candle’s high and whether the low of the Inside bar is higher than the mother candle’s low.
2. Based upon the real body. The high and low of the potential Inside Bar can be exceeding the mother candle´s high and low BUT it cannot close beyond it. The body, open and close of the inside bar, must be higher and lower than the body of the mother candle.
