Inside Bar Pattern Recognition Indicator

Description

Okay now it's my turn to contribute to the community.

 

This is a simple Inside Bar pattern recognition. The points appear around the Mother Bar, at the opening of the third bar after the Mother bar.

There is an inside bar when a bar (child) does not violate the precedent bar (mother). This pattern is useful for trend inversions. Do not use every signal, only those at the structures (supports, resistances) are important.
