Chapter 1: How To Use Bar Patterns To Spot Trade Setups
Double Inside Bars

While many of my co-workers jog, bicycle or play in bands for a hobby, I amuse myself by looking through old price charts of stocks and commodities. Let's look at a bar pattern that I call a "double inside day."

Many of you who subscribe to my Daily Futures Junctures have seen me mention this bar pattern. I think everyone should be familiar with it. Why? Because it often introduces sizable moves in price -- always a good reason for a trader to pay attention.

So let's begin with a basic definition: A double inside day, or bar, occurs when two inside bars appear in a row. An inside bar is simply a price bar with a high below the previous high and a low above the previous low.

Double Inside Day or Bar

Notice that the range of price bar number two encompasses price bar number one, and price bar number three encompasses price bar number two.
