Inside Day The Inside Day Background indicator automatically highlights Inside Day candles directly on the chart using a customizable background color. An Inside Day occurs when the current candle’s high is lower than the previous candle’s high, and the current low is higher than the previous candle’s low — signaling price consolidation and range compression. This condition often precedes volatility expansion and breakout opportunities. How It Works The script scans each bar and checks the following condition: Current High < Previous High Current Low > Previous Low When both are true: The chart background is highlighted No shapes or labels are plotted (clean chart visualization) An alert condition is triggered (optional) Trading Use Cases Inside Days are commonly used for: Breakout strategies Range expansion setups Volatility contraction signals Bull Flag / consolidation continuation patterns Opening range continuation plays Traders often watch for a break above the Inside Day high (bullish) or below the low (bearish). Features Clean background highlight only (no chart clutter) Fully customizable background color Toggle on/off visibility Built-in alert condition Works on all timeframes Overlay on price chart Notes Consecutive Inside Days will continue highlighting until range expansion occurs. Best combined with volume, VWAP, or range breakout strategies. Effective for both day trading and swing trading environments.

Candle Combinations Detected Bullish Kicker Bullish & Bearish Oops Reversals Open Equals High / Low Inside Day Select any 5 tickers. Colors and table settings are fully customizable to fit your style. Bullish Kicker The opening price of the current candle gaps up above the body of the prior day's candle AND the prior day's candle close was less than the open. Oops Reversals Bullish: Price opens below the prior day’s low and closes above. Bearish: Price opens above the prior day's high and closes below. Open Equals High / Low The current candles opening price is equal to either the high or low of the day. Inside Day The current candles high and low are contained within the prior day's high and low.

Confined Range Candle Finder This indicator finds candlesticks which are confined within the range of a previous candlestick. This indicates volatility contraction which often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements. While every confined range will contain at least 1 inside bar, this indicator differs from the Inside Bar Finder which only finds consecutive inside bars. This indicator includes options such as: - The minimum number of candlesticks confined within the range of a previous candlestick to trigger the indicator - Labels to indicate the number of confined candles - Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the containing candlestick Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if confined ranges increase the probability of identifying the direction of price movements. Breaks or closes outside signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.

Indicator

Inside Bar Finder Inside bars occur when the range of a candlestick falls entirely within the previous candlestick's range. This indicates volatility contraction which often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements. This indicator includes options such as: - The number of consecutive inside bars required to trigger the indicator - Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the outermost or innermost bars Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if inside bars increase the probability of identifying the direction of price movements. Breaks or closes outside the inside or outside signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.

Narrow Range + Inside Day, Short Only Strategy (by ChartArt)This short only strategy determines when there is both a NR7 (narrow range 7, a trading day in which the range is narrower than any of the previous six days), plus a inside day (high of the current day is lower than the high of the previous day and the low of the current day is higher than the low of the previous day) both on the same trading day and enters a short trade when the close is lower than the open and the slope of the simple moving average is downwards, too. The strategy closes the short trade next time the daily close is lower than the open in any of the next trading days. In addition the NR7ID can be colored (the color is red when the close is lower that day than the open, else the color is green) and the SMA can be drawn with a color based on the direction of the SMA slope. To fine-tune the strategy it is highly recommended to change the period length of the SMA, which determines if the measured SMA slope is downwards or not. In this version 1.1 I made a small change to long only version. By default only the bearish NR7ID days are colored.
