Automatic detection of Day Zero, Inside Days, and Outside Days for Stacey Burke’s intraday playbook
🔎 Stacey Burke’s Signal Days
This indicator highlights the key daily patterns that often lead to high-probability intraday setups in Stacey Burke’s methodology:
1️⃣ Day Zero
The reset days within a 3-day cycle (e.g. breakout → continuation → exhaustion/reversal).
Can mark the beginning of a new directional phase.
Trades back inside the prior range after a Peak Formation High (PFH) or Peak Formation Low (PFL).
Bias: Look for measured parabolic session moves. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
2️⃣ Inside Day
A day where the entire range is contained within the prior day’s range.
Signals consolidation and energy build-up.
Often leads to explosive breakouts in the next session.
Bias: Trade breakouts of the inside day’s high/low or breakout reversal in the session at key timings in the direction of higher timeframe bias. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
3️⃣ Outside Day (Engulfing Day)
`
A day where the range is larger than the prior day’s range, engulfing both high and low.
Marks trapped traders and fakeouts on both sides.
Often precedes strong continuations or sharp reversals from outside of the ranges.
Bias: Align trades with the true continuation move. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
📌 How They Work Together
Day Zero → Signals the new cycle after PFH/PFL.
Inside Day → Signals compression → expect breakout setups.
Outside Day → Signals exhaustion/fakeouts → expect reversals or continuations.
Together, they give traders a clear daily roadmap for where liquidity sits and when to expect the highest-probability setups.
✅ Example in Practice
Market rallies for 3 days → PFH forms → Day Zero short bias.
Next day prints an Inside Day → watch for breakout continuation short, and breakout reversals.
Later, an Outside Day traps both longs and shorts → the following session offers a clean intraday reversal or continuation trade in line with the underlying MTF trend/bias.
