Hello Vikas, how does the size of the third bar affect the setup ?

FIRST SET UP ( call it RIM-1 for simplicity)

Inside bars are of two types

1. Trend continuation.

2. Trend reversal

So first we have to check it out whether its Trend continuation or Trend reversal bar.

If mother bar is of the same colour of the trend , then it's continuation bar

But If the mother bar is of the opposite colour of the trend then its trend Reversal bar.

Now about the set up( Three bar set up)

For long

1. mother bar green, next bar red & next bar green

For short

mother bar red, next bar green & next bar red

If all these conditions met then only trade with this method, otherwise no trade....
SECOND SET up (RIM-2)

1) For Long first bar & third bar green & middle bar red.

middle bar should me making a higher high, very small in size preferably within upper half of its previous bar, (preferably doji or almost Doji showing indecision in market)

2) For Short first bar & third bar red & middle bar green.

Middle bar should be making a lower low, very small in size within lower half of its previous bar.
(preferably doji or almost Doji showing indecision in market)


one most important thing

bar should not be in a range, they must be trending, system doesn't work when 4-5 bars in a range.

Actually the color of the bar completes our set up.....

for long--g-r-g

for short-r-g-r

The size of the third bar is important as middle bar just pause the movement, so after that if we have a big bar, shows market is ina clear direction, no confusion...

so in most of the cases so u see market movement significatly after this third bar.
