An NR7 bar requires today's range to be smaller than each of the previous six sessions -- a seven-bar compression sequence. This screen checks six comparisons: today's range against each of the prior 2-to-6 sessions (plus yesterday). No volume, price direction, or indicator conditions are required. The result is a pure compression filter. The NR7 condition is less common than NR4 because it requires sustained market indecision across a full week of trading -- buyers and sellers at a genuine standoff. NR7 squeeze alone says nothing about which direction price will break; use NR7 Bull Break or NR7 Bear Break for directional confirmation.
NR7 Squeeze is used to build a daily watchlist of compressed stocks ready for directional expansion. Traders monitor NR7 candidates for the subsequent breakout candle -- ideally one that closes clearly above (or below) the entire NR7 bar range on elevated volume. The setup works across all liquid stocks but performs best when the compression occurs in a trending context rather than in a prolonged sideways market. In extended chop, consecutive NR bars can form without meaningful breakout follow-through, creating a watchlist of false setups. The main advantage over NR4: seven-session compression is rarer and historically associated with larger expansion moves when it does resolve. For broader compression signals with fewer restrictions, see NR4 Squeeze. For post-breakout volatility confirmation, see High ATR and Bollinger Squeeze Break Bull.

This screener finds stocks where today's daily range is the narrowest in the last seven sessions -- NR7. Compared to NR4 Squeeze, the seven-session requirement makes NR7 more selective: the stock must have compressed through a full trading week without range expansion. This is the classic NR7 setup from Larry Connors and Linda Raschke's research on pre-explosion compression patterns. Swing traders use NR7 as a higher-conviction watchlist filter before a directional breakout trigger. Common search phrases: "NR7 squeeze stocks", "narrow range 7 bar", "NR7 inside day compression breakout setup".
