Trading the inside bar break short and long was profitable.
This was not an official DIBS trade.

Cable -I've marked (within in midnight to midnight section-vertical lines) the first Inside bar after the 6 am level (arrowed). Am I on the right track ?
Thank you

That is not an inside bar, which must be encompassed by the prior bar, not the bar two bars ago. I might suggest reading PeterCrown's posts on the method, where it is explained.

Hi

Not for me. Though its a Fractal and I usually take fractal breaks in strong markets.

ps: do you know how many times this question has been asked in the past? I've lost count. but its ok, there is not much to talk about so i suppose we'll just keep repeating ourselves. nothing wrong with that. IMHO

pss: it seems i've been successful so far, in my attempt to restart this thread. But I feel like staying shut and just keep doing it. Selfish...hmm may be

Thanks California -I did read Peters post and PDF but simply wanted to know if the variation I alluded to would count as an Inside Bar. Since it doesn't then I will keep to the literal original and not seek variation. Thanks for your reply.

On the Cable chart I have marked in an Inside Bar (Far right arrow). If I was starting this approach today, would I be long break of that inside bar?
It is above the midnight horizontal marker.
Thanks again.

I went short on the IB there. Cable is showing a strong upward break on the dailies and I think it will bounce off the red line on my chart below. If not we might see some shorts.. I take two half positions instead of one position and close half. Makes it easier to manage.

BAR[5] was an inside bar.
Trading each break was profitable.

After that, there was a big plummet from about 110.16 to 109.40, and as of 10 pm NY time (on the 26th),
it's hovering at about 109.90.

You might want to turn off "the Grid" so there is less noise on your chart.
