Inside Bar self-test, 2026-10-21T12:11:26.241Z

1. Hand-worked days (Monday 6 Jan 2020 on, every day 17:00-17:00 New York)
A. mother 1.1000-1.1100, inside 1.1020-1.1080; next day minute 100 high 1.1101 -> buy at 1.1101, stop 1.0999, R 102 pips; the day after, high 1.1210 (1R target 1.1203); then flat at 1.1150
  [ok] IB-1R: target 1.1203, net 0.9853 R
  [ok] IB-2R: target 1.1305 not reached, out at the close of the 20th bar after entry (1.1150), net 0.4657 R
  [ok] swap stress: 28 rollovers (20 bars, Wednesdays counting three)
  [ok] IB-2R-T: no trade (fewer than 50 bars for the average)
  [ok] reference identical (3 variants)
B. trend filter: 55 days at 1.1000, then the same mother and inside bar (close 1.1050, above the average): the sell break is not taken, the buy break the day after is not either (orders live one day)
  [ok] IB-2R takes the sell break (1 trade, short); IB-2R-T, longs only, takes nothing
  [ok] reference identical
C. one minute reaches both levels (open 1.1095: buy level 6 pips away, sell level 96) -> buy, stopped in that minute
  [ok] stopped at 1.0999, net -1.0147 R
  [ok] reference identical
D. an equal high is not an inside bar; a holiday (500 minutes) after the inside bar moves the orders to the next full day; a sell that opens below its level fills at the open
  [ok] equal high: no trade (engine and reference)
  [ok] holiday skipped; sold at the open 1.0980 (below 1.0999), stop 1.1101, R 121 pips
  [ok] reference identical
