When I see a very narrow range bar, I call that "The point of indecision". What that means is, the market is undecided, sitting on hands, waiting for some type of confirmation. The breakout/continuation either up or down beyond that narrow range bar most often decides direction, until the next narrow range bar. Not 100%, but better than 50:50.
made a mistake trading the reversal bar that was an emotional action / entry must remember a single bar reversal is not trust worthy- how ever good it looks...unless it is after a blow off but even then the market will test that single bar so trade with extreme caution but it was a trade.. with trend....may have made me over confident must tighten up with trend entries too
