About This Scan
An inside bar is a candle that trades entirely within the high-low range of the candle before it. It marks a pause and often comes before a larger move in either direction. This scan checks the latest completed 15-minute candle against the one before it, and requires that earlier candle to be at least 0.4% wide so tiny ranges are ignored. Turnover must be at least Rs 5 Cr. The list updates with every new 15-minute candle.

How To Use This Scan
- •An inside bar has no direction. Mark the high and low of the earlier (mother) candle and act only on a close beyond one of them.
- •Combine with the trend. Breaks in the direction of the VWAP and the day's trend tend to be cleaner than counter-trend breaks.
- •Many stocks qualify at any time, so add a rule such as relative volume or distance from VWAP to keep the list short.
