Dear all,
I've been using a purely technical trading system on the forex that utilises inside bars. I've had a good return from it. However, they system can also be used on stocks - and I'm planning to use stockfetcher to select stocks for me. SF looks great.
If you've never heard of inside bars, they are bars that have a high and a low less than the bar before. They look like this:
|
| |
| ^Inside bar
Their importance is that they reflect an area where the market is consolidating into a tight range of low volatility. The market always explodes out of a tight range - it's natural cycle is to go from low volatility to high volatility and back again.
Of course, the trick is to determine which of these inside bars are "significant" - ie. have the greatest chance of movement thereafter. This is where the system comes in. It uses inside bars at fibonacci levels, support/resistance, etc... Inside bars can be used on any financial instrument (futures, indexes, stocks, etc) and any time frame.
The URL is:

This may come across as a blatant advert. It is in one way. I own several trading systems (yes - I was looking for the "holy grail"), but I have stuck on this. I've been making a good return on the forex. I really like this system and recommend at least checking it out.
I am going to be using the system to scan for inside bar stocks in stockfetcher, so I'll keep you posted with the results and any stockfetcher scans I use. If anyone is interested, I'll post up buy and sells I do.

It's called a Harami pattern in candlestick lingo, and I believe Stockfetcher allows you to filter for them.....

Here's a filter display you can add to your filters.
When 1bar = 2, the stock had an inside bar.
You can display, sort and/or select using ibar.
HTH.
