An Inside Bar Just Printed. Now What?
An inside day forms when today's entire range sits within yesterday's range. The Inside Days tool scans the market and detects stocks that printed an inside day today and shows what usually happens next.
Most charts have a tell for indecision, and the cleanest one is the inside bar. The day's high prints under yesterday's high, the day's low prints above yesterday's low, and the whole session sits compressed inside the prior range. No new information about who's in control, no fresh extreme in either direction. Just a coiled spring sitting on the chart.
The folklore is that inside days precede breakouts. The honest answer is more interesting: they precede breakouts in a specific way that depends on the streak length, the trend regime, and the ticker. A first-time inside day on a strong uptrend is not the same setup as a third-in-a-row inside day on a sideways tape. The forward distribution looks completely different.
A live signal banner, a 45-day forward price cone, a Chance of Move bar graph, a full sortable event log, and a watchlist scan that surfaces today's active inside days at a glance.
One glance tells you whether today printed an inside day and how many in a row.
Projects the next 45 days by applying forward returns from past similar inside days.
How often price rose or fell by a set percentage after similar inside days.
An inside day forms when today's entire high-to-low range sits within yesterday's range, a pause that often precedes a breakout.
The tool scans the market and auto-highlights stocks that printed an inside day today.
The Historical Log displays every past instance when the stock printed an inside day like today.
Check if any stocks on your watchlist or in the market printed an inside day today.
Open the 45-day price cone. It shows how price behaved after similar inside days in the past. This gives you a realistic view of what typically happens next instead of guessing.
Switch to Bar Graph view and set your target price level. The bars show how often similar inside days reached that distance by upcoming expirations. Toggle between "By Touch" and "By Close" depending on your strategy.
Before acting on the signal, open the events log. Check how many historical matches exist and whether they cluster in one period. A small sample or regime-specific cluster tells you the signal may be less reliable than the percentages suggest.
