What are NR4 and NR7 Patterns?

NR4 and NR7 are Narrow Range candlestick patterns that signal a period of low volatility — a compression that often precedes a large directional move.

  • NR4: Today's high-to-low range is the smallest of the last 4 days — mild contraction.
  • NR7: Today's high-to-low range is the smallest of the last 7 days — stronger contraction, higher probability setup.
  • Contraction %: How much tighter today's range is vs the 7-bar average. Higher % = tighter squeeze = more explosive potential.
  • Breakout level: Enter long above today's High. Enter short below today's Low. Place stop at the opposite level.
  • Bias: EMA 20/50 alignment — favours trading the breakout in the direction of the underlying trend.

How to use NR4/NR7

Look for NR7 stocks that also have a trending bias (Bullish or Bearish). If bias is Bullish and RSI is between 40–60, a breakout above the high is a high-probability setup. Combine with volume confirmation — a breakout candle with above-average volume is ideal.

What is the Narrow Range Strategy?

Narrow Range Strategy is a breakout-based trading strategy based on the principle that volatility contraction usually precedes volatility expansion. When a stock's daily range narrows to its smallest in 4 or 7 days, it signals a potential explosive move in either direction.

NR4 Trading Strategy

NR4 (Narrow Range of 4 Days) identifies stocks where today's high-to-low range is smaller than the previous three days' ranges. This compression signals a potential breakout. Enter long if price breaks above today's high, enter short if price breaks below today's low.

How to Identify an NR4 Day

  • Gather the high and low data of the past four days.
  • Calculate the price range (High minus Low) for each day.
  • If today's range is smaller than all of the past three days, it is an NR4 pattern.
  • Once confirmed, look for a buy entry when price moves up past today's high, and a sell entry when price breaks below today's low.

NR7 Trading Strategy

NR7 (Narrow Range of 7 Days) is a stronger version of NR4 — today's range must be the smallest of the last seven days. NR7 breakouts carry higher probability because the volatility compression is more pronounced. A bullish breakout occurs when price moves above the NR7 candle's high; a bearish breakout when price falls below the NR7 candle's low.

How to Identify an NR7 Day

  • Gather high and low data for the past seven trading days.
  • Calculate the range of all seven candles individually.
  • If today's candle range is smaller than all six previous candles, it is an NR7 pattern.
  • A breakout above the NR7 high signals a bullish move; a breakdown below the NR7 low signals a bearish move.
