In other words, a fakey is when price initially breaks one way from an inside bar pattern but then price snaps back the other direction, creating a false break of the inside bar structure. You may also come across fakey’s with three-bar false breaks, although these are rarer and I consider them less ideal than a fakey with a pin bar or a two-bar fakey false break structure. In the example below we see a nice fakey pin bar combo pattern with two inside bars before the pin bar false-breakout, this is totally OK and is something you’ll probably see often in fakey setups:
