Outside Bar

This indicator provides a statistical report on the Outside Bar candlestick pattern. Based on the chart's bars, it can improve your edge on any markets and timeframes.

Knowing there are many definitions about the Outside Bar pattern, here we're strictly referring to one bar's extremes beyond one other.

The report is broken down into the different following sections: retracement, invalidation, continuation and breakout.

Each of them provides hindsights about the pattern price behavior and brings answers to questions such as: How often does price retrace? Does the pattern often invalidate? If it doesn't then does it break in the pattern's direction? How far does price go? What are the odds of a false breakout?

While there are many ways to make use of the metrics, my favorite use case is for developing directional and daily/weekly biases while refining my stop/entry/target positioning.
