Simultaneous stops above high and low of bar?

I bought one of Al's Books a few years ago, but I wasn't able to understand it well before doing the course. I'm going through and re-reading it now. Most of the material seems familiar, however there's been a couple times where Al mentions a trader would put a stop entry below the low of a signal bar and and at the same time a stop entry at the high of a signal bar. For instance:

"Often a bar can be a setup bar in both directions, and you will place entry stops beyond both extremes and will enter in the direction of either bar breakout (Trading Price Action Trends, pg. 86)"

"Small inside bars after breakout trend bars are somewhat emotional for traders because they will consider entering in either direction on a stop and will have to process a lot of information quickly. For example, if there is a bull breakout during a down day, the trader will often place an order to buy at one tick above the high of the inside bar and a second order to sell at one tick below its low (Trading Price Action Trends, pg. 108)"

Does Al ever go over this in the video course? I don't recall ever seeing him mention it. Is this something he still recommends? It seems like it would be ignoring the context of the prior bars. He didn't include charts when discussing this, so it's difficult for me to imagine a situation where this would be a good idea.
