Indicator Description

Inside Bar with Sunday correction

ib

This correction was requested and inspired by ahmedalhoseny.

If your broker starts quotation on Sunday, short bars appear in the historical rates on a daily chart. This bar together with the previous Friday bar forms an Inside Bar formation.

To prevent this the indicator compares Firday and Thursday in order to rise a signal on Monday.

Further to this the indicator merges the bars from Sunday and Monday before comparing with the Friday bar.

Indicator doesn't place signal on Sunday.
