In trading, an inside bar is a candlestick pattern where the entire range of a candle—both the high and low—is contained within the range of the previous candle.
In other words, the high of the inside bar is lower than the high of the preceding bar, and the low is higher than the low of the preceding bar.
An inside day would the entire range (high point to low point) traded within the high and low point of the previous day.
