OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Outside Bar Finder
Outside bars occur when the range of a candlestick falls entirely outside of the previous candlestick's range. This indicates indecision and volatility expansion which often leads to changes in trend direction.
This indicator includes options such as:
- The number of consecutive outside bars required to trigger the indicator
- An arrow indicating whether the outside bar is bullish or bearish
- Signal lines to indicate the high and low of the outside bar
Try out this indicator with different options on different timeframes to see if outside bars increase the probability of identifying changes in trend. Breaks or closes outside the signal lines can be used to trigger trade signals.
