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.....

Fetcher[
/* inside bars filter */

/* enter your Upper Limit criteria Dynamic Resistance */
set{DynRes, High 5 Day High}

/* enter your Lower Limit criteria Dynamic Support */
set{DynSup, Low 5 Day Low}

set{LimDiff, DynRes minus DynSup }
set{PPDiff, CLOSE minus DynSup }
set{PPDiv, PPDiff / LimDiff}
set{FibLev, PPDiv * 100}

/* display columns */

and add column FibLev
and add column DynRes
and add column DynSup

and add column industry

/* enter your SELECTION criteria */

high < high 1 day ago
low > low 1 day ago

close above 5
volume above 500000

/* sort criteria */
sort column 5 descending
]



I added the dynamic support/resistance columns and the fib level.

HTH.

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

Fetcher[
/* inside bars filter display */

set{xTop, count(high < high 1 day ago , 1) }
set{xBot, count(low > low 1 day ago , 1) }
set{ibar, xTop + xBot}

/* display columns */

and add column ibar

and add column industry

/* enter your SELECTION criteria */

ibar equal 2
close above 5
volume above 1000000

/* sort criteria */
sort column 5 descending
]



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.
