IU Inside Out Candlestick Pattern
This indicator identifies the Inside Out Candlestick Pattern — a unique 3-bar price action setup that captures strong market momentum and potential reversals with greater reliability than traditional patterns.

Pattern Logic:
The Inside Out pattern builds upon a classic engulfing setup by adding a breakout confirmation, making it a refined and filtered approach to candlestick analysis.

Bullish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar [1] must be a bullish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bearish candle).
- Current bar must be bullish and must close above the high of the engulfing candle (a bullish breakout).
- When this setup is confirmed, a shaded green box is drawn around the range of the engulfing candle and its preceding bar.

Bearish Inside Out Logic:
- Bar [1] must be a bearish engulfing candle (engulfs previous bullish candle).
- Current bar must be bearish and must close below the low of the engulfing candle (a bearish breakdown).
- When confirmed, a red box highlights the zone formed by the engulfing candle and its prior bar.

Why this is unique:
Unlike conventional candlestick indicators that trigger signals immediately after an engulfing pattern, this script adds a breakout condition to validate follow-through strength. This reduces false positives and gives traders a clearer edge. The pattern is also rare, which means it captures strong, decisive moves when it does appear.

How users can benefit:
- High-quality entries: Only shows patterns with proven follow-through, improving trade timing.
- Visual clarity: Boxes and labels highlight significant price zones for easy interpretation.
- Flexible use: Applicable across timeframes and instruments — ideal for both intraday and swing traders.
- Alerts included: Real-time alerts help traders stay updated without staring at charts all day.

This script is a powerful tool for price action traders looking to enhance pattern reliability and signal strength through structure-based breakout confirmation.
