Inside Bar

  Hi all,

  I am looking for an easy way to identify on the price chart the inside bar configuration.

  In other words, when the latest bar is inside the previous, I would like a short line to be drawn 1 tick above and another on tick below both bars.

  Has someone already coded such an indicator ?

  Thks for helping.

  B.

  Not tested:

  InsideBAR = range < range[1] AND low >= low[1] AND high <= high[1] IF InsideBAR THEN DrawSegment(Barindex[1],high,BarIndex,high) DrawSegment(Barindex[1],low ,BarIndex,low) ENDIF RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  InsideBAR = range < range[1] AND low >= low[1] AND high <= high[1] IF InsideBAR THEN    DrawSegment(Barindex[1],high,BarIndex,high)    DrawSegment(Barindex[1],low ,BarIndex,low) ENDIF RETURN

  Good evening Thank you for your response and your collaboration I copied the codes and included them in the indicators But they did not work and no results on the graph I must have done something wrong but I have already done it this way and it worked J For the moment I have the out side candle indicator and it helps me a lot. Kind regards
