Disliked{quote} Thanks mate good tip, tbh I didnt realise the comments section was so detailed. In your screenshot from the post you refers to, he confirms what you said. In the screenshots of the other comments though he seems pretty black and white that "inside bars invalidate extended sweeps". I suppose its just a case if using a bit of discretion. {image} {image} {image}Ignored
Let me explain what each of your screenshots are referring to:
1. In the first one, where he is responding to Eddyeze, he is explaining what exactly an Insider bar is, in the context of an extended buy sweep. He states that an inside bar would be the failure of a new candle to form a LL (A lower low) which is technically what would qualify as an inside bar here. The entry that would be invalidated would be any further extended sweep below the range of the candle that printed before the inside bar. I'll give you evidence that this was his meaning shortly.
2. The second screenshot, where he is responding to Misho6794, clarifies my point in 1 above. In it, he clearly states that an inside bar ONLY invalidates the extended sweep. Meaning the original entry point isn't invalidated by the insider bar. But note that he states that if the original sweeping candle is breached, then the trade is invalidated.
3. The third response - to Willfebery5897 - basically rehashes the above points, and adds the killzone requirement. No new info there.
4. The fourth response to Jung_Aj seems to imply that inside bars invalidate ALL trades, but I think that this response is incomplete. Firstly, it's from 2 weeks ago, and Scott's method might have evolved on that point. After all, he HAS changed on other points too such as the open of his killzones. But secondly, and more importantly, we do have him in more recent comments explaining that not all trades are invalidated by inside bars. He also demonstrates this in some of his videos, as I'll link you to below.
5. In the last response - to RyanKelly8354 - he directly responds to the question of an inside bar in his trades not invalidating his entry. He explains that his trade remained valid because the candle following the inside bar didn't extend the sweep.
Now if you take all the above different descriptions together, and weave them into one, you'll realize that the only strategy that is consistent through all of them (except for that response to Jung_Aj) is the one I'd described in post 363.
However, I'd invite you to watch his latest video again, specifically from 17:40 to 18:25. You'll note that when an inside bar forms at around 18:12, he directly states that it has NOT invalidated his trade, because the high of the sweeping candle hasn't been breached. This is on a pending sell order. The next candle after the inside bar does breach this high, and that's when he states that the trade has now become invalidated. The very next trade he sets up from 18:25 is because a new fractal has just formed. If that new fractal hadn't formed, he'd have had to move on from that place without a trade.
