Hello
I would like to have a %true indicator that shows a weekly inside bar on a daily chart. That is where the last 5 periods high low range is <= the 5 periods before that. Thanks alot.

If you want the current Weekly Range to be less than the previous Weekly Range, lease try using the following as the Boolean Formula in the Daily Custom Percent True Indicator:

MAXH5 - MINL5 <= MAXH5.5 - MINL5.5

My understanding of an Inside Bar is that the current Bar must be completely contained within the previous Bar however (that said, I'm not a candlestick guy, so take this with a grain of salt):

MINL5.5 <= MINL5 AND MAXH5 <= MAXH5.5
