Example of a inside bar + false break trade

Here is an example of a profitable trade that closed out today for a 2R gain.
I currently have an open order on the USDCHF with a simular setup. See linked idea.

The setup consists of the following elements:

• strong / clear preceding trend
  
• consolidation in the form of one or more inside bars
  
• a false break out of the consolidation, thus rejecting the counter trend direction
  
• place a trade in the direction of the preceding trend
  

In this example the break was a well formed pinbar and I therefore placed a limit entry order at the 50% retracement of the pinbar.
Stop was placed above the high of the pinbar.
Profit target was placed at two times the distance of the stop, giving a R2R ratio of 2. Target also nicely lined up with the bottom of the consolidation / mother candle of the inside bar pattern.
