2 Bar Master Pattern Indicator ( MTF Inside Bars )
Updated
THE 2 BAR MASTER PATTERN IS A PRICE ACTION INDICATOR
It is based off of the master pattern concepts which explains the market moving through a 3 phase cycle.
Phase 1 - Contraction
Phase 2 - Expansion
Phase 3 - Trending
THESE 3 PHASES ARE HAPPENING ON EVERY TIME FRAME AND ON EVERY ASSET CLASS.
The first phase of the cycle is the contraction phase, this is where price goes
into contraction which is measure by a simultaneous lower high / higher low.
The contraction phase can be measured with many forms of contraction methods, such as 2 bar / 3 bar and multi bar contraction detection.
The 2 bar master pattern detects inside bars, based off 2 bar candle detection, when detected it will color the candle and a value line will project out of the center.
When it identifies an inside bar it will bring a line through the centre of the inside bar which is known as a value line, these are key levels that price can either find support or resistance on these levels, or a level when broken price can breakout and take off.
MTF FUNCTIONALITY
We have coded into the logic a Multi Time Frame function so that you can have it identify any inside bar on any time frame. 2 bar inside bars work best on higher time frames such as the 4hr and above therefore with the multi time frame functionality you can set it to a higher time frame of choice and be on a lower chart timeframe where you will take your entries off of.
SHORT ENTRY EXAMPLE
LONG ENTRY EXAMPLE
In the example above its set to the weekly chart as the time frame to detect the 2 bar master patterns, and the timeframe for entry is the 4hr time frame, this will change depending on your trading style and timeframes you like to trade on.
2 BAR MASTER PATTERNS CAN BE USED FOR REVERSALS AND CONTINUATION TRADING.
CONTINUATION INSIDE BAR TRADING
When you have a inside bar formed on a higher time frame, you mark the high and low of the inside bar, and depending on the direction of the trend - if on a up trend and it breaks the high of the inside bar is an long entry - and if its on a downtrend and the low of the inside bar is broken thats the set up for a short entry.
REVERSAL INSIDE BAR TRADING
When you have an inside bar forming at the bottom or top of a range or key level, this can be a sign of weakness and a potential area where price will reverse in the opposite direction.
2 BAR MASTER PATTERN INSIDE BARS EITHER SHOW STRENGHTH OR WEAKNESS OF A TREND
If combined in combination with the higher time frame trend direction and the master patten concepts principles, you can find amazing entries.
Best place to look for long entries on a confirmed uptrend is when price is under the value lines
Best place to look for short entries on a confirmed downtrend is when price is above the value lines
Once you understand that the market is moving in this 3 phase cycle and become adept and identifying the 1st phase which is the contraction phase, it can open the door to a new way of percieving the market and making sense of the seemingly randomness of how it moves.
