Inside Bar Breakout ( candlestick pattern).📌 What Is This Indicator?
BOIB Pro identifies a very strict form of inside bar:
✅ The inside bar candle’s entire range (body + wicks) must be inside the BODY of the previous candle (mother candle).
❌ If even a single wick is outside the mother body, the setup is rejected.
This filters out weak and noisy inside bars and focuses only on true compression candles.
⸻
📐 Pattern Rules (Strict)
1️⃣ Mother Candle
• The candle immediately before the inside bar
2️⃣ Body-Only Inside Bar (BOIB)
A valid BOIB must satisfy:
• Inside bar high ≤ mother candle body high
• Inside bar low ≥ mother candle body low
⚠️ Normal inside bars (inside wicks only) are ignored.
⸻
⏱️ Breakout Window Logic
After a valid BOIB forms:
• The indicator waits for the next 1 to 5 candles (user-configurable)
• Entry is triggered only if price CLOSES outside the BOIB range
✅ Long Signal
• Candle closes above BOIB high
✅ Short Signal
• Candle closes below BOIB low
If no breakout occurs within the window → setup expires automatically
⸻
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss & Take Profit Logic
Once a valid breakout/breakdown occurs, the indicator automatically draws a professional trade template:
Entry
• At the close of the breakout candle
Stop Loss
• Long → below BOIB low
• Short → above BOIB high
• Optional buffer:
• ATR-based
• Percentage-based
• Or none
Take Profits
• TP1: Risk-Reward based (default 1R)
• TP2: Extended target (default 2R)
All levels are clearly visualized using:
• Horizontal price lines
• Risk and reward boxes
• Informational labels
⸻
📊 Best Use Cases
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts)
• Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5m
• Day trading: 15m / 30m
• Works best when combined with:
• Market structure
• Trend bias
• Support / resistance
⸻
⚠️ Important Notes
• This is NOT an auto-trading system
• Signals should always be used with:
• Proper risk management
• Market context
• Inside bars in sideways or low-volume markets may fail

Inside Bars/Candles [CodeCraftedTrading]This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and visually represent inside bars or candles. Here's a breakdown of its features and functionality:
1. Inputs:
insideCandlesColor: Color of the inside bars or candles.
highColor: Color of the horizontal line representing the high of the inside bar.
lowColor: Color of the horizontal line representing the low of the inside bar.
showHighLowLabel: Option to display labels for the high and low prices.
2. Logic:
The script checks for the conditions of an inside bar:
high < high and low > low
If an inside bar is detected and is not already in the range:
* Stores the high and low prices of the previous bar.
* Records the parent bar index and sets the broken flag to false.
If the current bar's high exceeds the stored high or the low falls below the stored low, the broken flag is set to true.
If the current bar is within the stored high and low range, it is considered in-range.
The script then dynamically plots horizontal lines at the high and low prices of the parent bar until the inside bar is broken.
3. Visualization:
The inside bars are colored based on the insideCandlesColor.
Horizontal lines are drawn at the high and low prices of the parent bar within the inside bar.
Optional labels display the rounded values of the high and low prices.
4. Usage:
Apply the script to your chart.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences.
The indicator will highlight inside bars with colored bars and draw lines representing the high and low prices. Labels are optional.
5. Note:
Inside bars are bars where the entire price range is within the high and low of the previous bar.
The script uses historical bar information and visualizes the inside bars dynamically on the chart.
