Inside Bar Breakout Training Course
Compression before expansion. The small bar that signals the next move.
An inside bar is a bar whose range is entirely inside the prior bar's range — market indecision, volatility compression. The breakout of that inside bar often triggers the next directional move. This course teaches how to identify the setup and when the break is real.
