Depending on a number of other important factors, the concept is to
buy/sell the Inside Day's high/low as a breakout - but there are quite a
lot of buts for an intraday bond trader! (Clearly the Inside Day has to
have happened for the potential of the trade to exist, in answer to your
first question.) A position trader has to set the right stop, taking the
overnight into account, but that is all a ball game I do not play, so I am
not in the least bit worried about it.
The direction is not known until it shapes up, on the day. The overnight
may or may not give a clue and working out the r/r/r and where to put your
stop (usually behind the Inside Day's high/low) are, as usual, vital parts
of the pre-trade calculations. You will naturally be looking for the
false breakout and how to deal with the situation. Also, you may well
(for a totally different set of reasons) get into the trade well before it
reaches the line, as it were.
As you will have seen from the chart I posted, on many more occasions than
not, there is a decent move after an Inside Day. Not knowing which way at
the outset is not a problem for the day trader.
Hope this helps.
