AI Inside Bar Breakout Trader

Captures the expansion that often follows a quiet inside bar.

How it works

The EA looks for a mother bar followed by one or more inside bars (up to three by default) on the signal timeframe.

A trade opens when a later candle closes above the mother bar high or below the mother bar low. Small mother bars can be ignored with an ATR filter, and an optional EMA trend filter keeps trades with the trend.

The stop is placed beyond the other side of the mother bar with an ATR buffer and a maximum distance cap.
