P.I.B. System (Pin Bar | Inside Bar) // AlgoFyreThe "P.I.B. System (Pin Bar | Inside Bar)" identifies bullish and bearish pin bars and inside bars on a price chart. It highlights potential market reversals by plotting labels and colorizing bars, providing traders with visual cues for better decision-making.
Description
The "P.I.B. System (Pin Bar | Inside Bar)" script is designed to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish pin bars and inside bars. A pin bar is a candlestick pattern that indicates a potential reversal, characterized by a small body and a long wick. Inside bars are candlestick patterns where the current bar's high and low are within the previous bar's range, indicating potential consolidation before a breakout.
This script allows customization of various parameters to fine-tune the identification of pin bars and inside bars. When a pin bar or an inside bar is detected, the script plots a label on the chart and colorizes the bars to highlight these patterns. This tool is useful for traders looking to identify potential reversal points and make informed trading decisions.

Chained Inside BarsThis script identifies consecutive inside bars by referencing only the most recent non-inside bar, so it avoids excessive lookback. An “inside” bar means its high is lower than the reference bar’s high, and its low is higher than the reference bar’s low. If the current bar is inside, it’s colored white; once price breaks outside, the script updates that new bar as the next reference.
Key Points
• Bars are compared against the last non-inside bar, chaining consecutive inside bars off that same reference bar.
• Inside bars are highlighted in white (non-inside bars retain default chart colors).
• Includes an alert condition for when a new inside bar forms.
• Prevents large dynamic indexing, making it more stable and efficient.
Use this indicator to quickly spot consecutive inside-bar formations without needing to track every single bar-to-bar relationship.

This indicator is designed to detect and display specific candlestick patterns (Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, and Inside Bar) when they occur at the New Week Open Gap (NWOG). The indicator provides tiny dots plotted at the top of the candle for each detected pattern, keeping the chart clean and minimal. Below is a detailed description of the logic and components:
Candlestick Patterns Detected:
Bearish Engulfing:
A Bearish Engulfing pattern occurs when:
The current candle’s high is above the previous candle’s high.
The current candle’s close is below the previous candle’s low.
This pattern signals a potential downtrend and is marked by a red dot at the top of the candle.
Bullish Engulfing:
A Bullish Engulfing pattern occurs when:
The current candle’s low is below the previous candle’s low.
The current candle’s close is above the previous candle’s high.

Three-Bar Inside Bar PaternAuthor: Johnan Prathap TASC March 2011
The typical inside bar two-bar view indicates minimal activity in a market. It is defined as a bar (or series of bars) that is completely within the range of the preceding bar; that is, it has a higher low and lower high than the bar immediately before it. Some traders consider a bar an inside bar if the high and low are equal to the previous bar or where there are several consecutive bars within the range of a previous bar.
Many analysts tend to view inside bars as an indication of declining market activity, or possibly a prelude to a large movement in either direction.
Bollinger Bands Inside barthe indicator name is Bollinger Band inside bar because it uses Bollinger Band and inside bar to take counter-trend positions in the market. whenever this pattern is formed then it can be used to take an entry into the market. the candlestick pattern recognizes 3 candle candlestick. first the mother bar i.e. the medium to the big size candle that intersects with the upper and the lower levels of the Bollinger band. the second candle should be an inside bar i.e. the high and low of the current bar should be less than the previous bar. finally, the last bar who's low should be less than the mother bar in case of the mother bar is at upper levels and if the mother bar is at lower levels then the candle's high should be more than the mother bar. the stop-loss should be high and low of the mother bar respectively. entry should be taken as soon as the low and high of the mother bar is taken out respectively. target should be 1:1 or 20 sma or lower Bollinger band in case the entry is taken from the top. works best if there is a trend and the market takes a pullback and this pattern is formed.
Live Inside Bar ColoringDescription
This script colors the current bar if it is inside the prior bar's high and low. Inside is defined as ≤ the high, and ≥ the low of the prior bar.
Utility
This gives a quick visual indication if the current bar is inside. This can indicate a choppier market. By definition, an inside bar is consolidating and not trending.
Function
Colors distinguish if the current price is above the opening price of the inside bar on a given timeframe. If you do not want to distinguish this, you can set both colors the same.
4 SMAs & Inside Bar (Colored)SMAs and Inside Bar strategy is very common as far as Technical analysis is concern. This script is a combination of 10-20-50-200 SMA and Inside Bar Candle Identification.
SMA Crossover:
4 SMAs (10, 20, 50 & 200) are combined here in one single indicator.
Crossover signal for Buy as "B" will be shown in the chart if SMA 10 is above 20 & 50 and SMA 20 is above 50.
Crossover signal for Sell as "S" will be shown in the chart if SMA 10 is below 20 & 50 and SMA 20 is below 50.
Inside Bar Identification:
This is to simply identify if there is a inside bar candle. The logic is very simple - High of the previous candle should be higher than current candle and low of the previous candle should be lower than the current candle.
If the previous candle is red, the following candle would be Yellow - which may give some bullish view in most of the cases but not always
If the previous candle is green, the following candle would be Black - which may give some bearish view in most of the cases but not always
Be Cautious when you see alternate yellow and black candle, it may give move on the both side

Double Inside BarThis indicator provides a statistical report on the Double Inside Bar pattern. Based on the chart's bars, it can improve your edge on any markets and timeframes.
A Double Inside Bar refers to a contraction where price is consolidating while making consecutive lower highs and a higher lows.
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.
Miscellaneous

7 Inside Bars with Full Range Box (15m)his indicator detects periods of extreme price compression by identifying 7 consecutive inside bars on the 15-minute timeframe. An inside bar is a candle that forms within the high and low of the previous candle. When 7 such bars occur in a row, it's a strong signal of market indecision and potential breakout.
What it does:
Detects if the last 7 candles are all inside the range of the 8th candle (the outer bar).
Highlights the consolidation zone by drawing a fuchsia-colored box from the high to low of the outer candle.
Marks the final candle in the sequence with a small "7IN" label below the bar.
This setup can help traders spot high-probability breakout zones and prepare for potential volatility after extended consolidation.
🔍 Best Used For:
Breakout trading
Volatility expansion strategies
Trade setups following tight consolidation
CRT Trades (turtle soup, A-M-D ranges with inside bars)CRT means Candle Range Theory. Every single candle is a range, on every single timeframe. Ranges may be either manipulated - turtle souped or broken - engulfed - closed above/below and retested.
CRT is usually presented as a 3 candle model. However it may consist of more than 3 candles due to inside bars. Inside bar is the candle where high is not higher then previous candle high and low is not lower then previous candle low.
First candle represents accumulation (may consist of more candles - inside bars), second candle represents manipulation (turtle soup) and third candle represents distribution. The abbreviation for that is A-M-D.
In accumulation the range with specific high and low is created. In manipulation (turtle soup) the high or low of the range is manipulated - liquidity taken and price should usually reverse back to the range. In distribution price is reversing back to the opposite side of the range. On higher timeframe it looks like manipulation candle wick is higher/lower than previous range high/low (may consist of 1 or more inside bar candles) but the body must not close above/below previous range high/low. Otherwise it is not manipulation (turtle soup) most likely and price should continue in direction of the candle close. Distribution candle should touch opposite side of range and it is mostly heavy and fast candle.
CRT model can be found on higher timeframe (e.g. 4h) and entries can be found on lower timeframe (e.g. 15m). You always use only lower timeframe on your chart because CRT model on the higher timeframe is shown on the lower one and also you can plan entries on the lower timeframe. You are able to change CRT model higher timeframe in the indicator settings.
There are two types of entries:
simple - wait for manipulation candle to close on higher timeframe (HTF) and then enter on lower timeframe (LTF) above open of the distribution candle on HTF if it is short or on LTF below open of the distribution candle on HTF if it is long. These entries can be done by market order.
advanced - wait for the break of previous range high/low and enter by limit order when price reverses back to the range and retraces to the order block or fair value gap created by the breaker candle.
Stop loss can be placed above/below of the top/bottom created by manipulation candle. First take profit should be placed in 1/2 of the accumulation range and second take profit should be placed at the opposite range of accumulation range.
It is possible to filter only particular accumulation (range) and manipulation (turtle soup) candles depending also on timezone set in the settings. For example on 4h CRT model if you fill input "indices" for section "range" like 1,2 and input "indices" for section "turtle soup" like 3,4 then you are awaiting the range to form during asia session and manipulation during london session if the timezone is somewhere around "UTC+2".
Dotted lines represent turtle soup of previous range and solid lines represent engulfing candle of the breaker candle on lower timeframe. When the engulfing is closed you can look for entries either by market order after closing or by limit order when the price retraces to order block (created by breaker candle) or fair value gap (created by engulfing).
Recommendations for combining lower (entries) and higher (crt model) timeframes:
1D CRT model => 1h entries,
4h CRT model => 15m entries,
1h CRT model => 5m entries,
15m CRT model => 1m entries.
Bolingger Bands + Inside Bar BoxesBollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool consist of three bands—an upper, middle, and lower band—that are used to spotlight extreme short-term prices in a security. The upper band represents overbought territory, while the lower band can show you when a security is oversold. Most technicians will use Bollinger Bands® in conjunction with other analysis tools to get a better picture of the current state of a market or security.
An Inside Bar is a two-bar price action trading strategy in which the inside bar is smaller and within the high to low range of the prior bar. Inside bars show a period of consolidation in a market. They often form following a strong move in a market, as it ‘pauses’ to consolidate before making its next move. However, they can also form at market turning points and act as reversal signals from key support or resistance levels.
