FNGAdataLow“Low prices for FNGA ETF (Dec 2018–May 2025)
The Low prices for FNGA ETF (December 2018 – May 2025) capture the lowest trading price reached during each regular U.S. market session over the entire lifespan of this leveraged exchange-traded note. Initially launched under the ticker FNGU, and later rebranded as FNGA in March 2025 before its eventual redemption, the fund was structured to deliver 3x daily leveraged exposure to the MicroSectors FANG+™ Index. This index concentrated on a small basket of leading technology and tech-enabled growth companies such as Meta (Facebook), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Alphabet (Google), along with a few other innovators.
The Low price is particularly important in the study of FNGA because it highlights the intraday downside extremes of a highly volatile, leveraged product. Since FNGA was designed to reset leverage daily, its lows often reflected moments of amplified market stress, when declines in the underlying FANG+™ stocks were multiplied through the 3x leverage structure.
Low volatility Buy w/ TP & SL (Coinrule)The compression of volatility usually leads to expansion. When the breakout comes, it can ignite strong trends. One way to catch a coin trading in an accumulation area is to spot three moving averages with values close to each other. The strategy uses a combination of Moving Averages to spot the best time to buy a coin before its breakout.
Buy Condition
The MA200 is greater than the MA100
The MA50 is greater than the MA100
According to backtesting results, the 1-hour time frame is the best to run this strategy.
Sell Condition
Take Profit: the price increases 8% from the entry price
Stop Loss: the price drops 4% from the entry price
The strategy has a profitability of 40-60% (depending on the market conditions). Having a ratio of two between Take profit and Stop Loss helps keeping the strategy profitable in the long term.

Multi-Source Data: Combine volume profile, order blocks, liquidity zones, and voids
Weighted Analysis: Each data source contributes proportionally to the terrain height
How to Use the Frontend
💛 Price Line Tracking (Your Primary Focus)
The yellow price line is your most important guide:
Monitor Price Movement: Track how the yellow line interacts with the 3D terrain
Identify Key Levels: Watch for these critical interactions:
Order Blocks (Green/Red Zones):
When yellow price line enters green zones = Bullish order block
When yellow price line enters red zones = Bearish order block
These represent institutional accumulation/distribution areas
Liquidity Voids (Yellow Zones):
When yellow price line enters yellow void areas = Potential acceleration zones
Voids indicate price gaps where minimal trading occurred
Price often moves rapidly through voids toward next liquidity pool
Terrain Reading:
High Terrain Peaks: High volume/interest areas (support/resistance)
Low Terrain Valleys: Low volume areas (potential breakout zones)
Color Coding:
Green terrain = Bullish volume dominance
Red terrain = Bearish volume dominance
Purple = Neutral/transition areas
📈 Volume Profile Integration
POC (Point of Control): Automatically marks highest volume level
Volume Bins: Adjust granularity (10-50 bins)
Height Weight: Control how much volume affects terrain elevation
🏛️ Order Block Detection
Detection Length: 5-50 bar lookback for block identification
Strength Weighting: Recent blocks have greater impact on terrain
Candle Body Option: Use full candles or body-only for block definition
💧 Liquidity Zone Tracking
Multiple Levels: Track 3-10 key liquidity zones
Buy/Sell Side: Different colors for bid/ask liquidity
Strength Decay: Older zones have diminishing terrain impact
🌊 Liquidity Void Identification
Threshold Multiplier: Adjust sensitivity (0.5-2.0)
Height Amplification: Voids create significant terrain depressions
Acceleration Zones: Price typically moves quickly through void areas
Practical Trading Application
Bullish Scenario:
Yellow price line approaches green order block terrain
Price finds support in elevated bullish volume areas
Terrain shows consistent elevation through key levels
Bearish Scenario:
Yellow price line struggles at red order block resistance
Price falls through liquidity voids toward lower terrain
Bearish volume peaks dominate the landscape
Breakout Setup:
Yellow price line consolidates in flat terrain
Minimal resistance (low terrain) in projected direction
Clear path toward distant liquidity zones
Pro Tips
Start Simple: Begin with default settings, then gradually customize
Focus on Yellow Line: Your primary indicator of current price position
Combine Timeframes: Use the same terrain across multiple timeframes for confluence
Volume Confirmation: Ensure terrain peaks align with actual volume spikes
Void Anticipation: When price enters voids, prepare for potential rapid movement
Order Blocks & Voids Architecture
Order Blocks Calculation
Trigger: Price breaks fractal swing points
Bullish OB: When close > swing high → find lowest low in lookback period
Bearish OB: When close < swing low → find highest high in lookback period
Strength: Based on price distance from block extremes
Storage: Global array maintains last 50 blocks with FIFO management
Liquidity Voids Detection
Trigger: Price gaps exceeding ATR threshold
Bull Void: Low - high > (ATR200 × multiplier)
Bear Void: Low - high > (ATR200 × multiplier)
Validation: Close confirms gap direction
Storage: Global array maintains last 30 voids
Key Design Features
Real-time Updates: Calculated every bar, not just on last bar
Global Persistence: Arrays maintain state across executions
FIFO Management: Automatic cleanup of oldest entries
Configurable Sensitivity: Adjustable lookback periods and thresholds
Scientific Testing Framework

Hurst Dual-Channel + ECDF Early Reentry (Single Trigger)Hello,
This indicator can be useful during ranging market phases, especially on short timeframes such as 5 minutes, within a statistically contrarian approach.
It combines two quantitative methodologies:
– Hurst-type adaptive channels, which measure short- and medium-term price deviations using the ATR (Average True Range);
– an Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function (ECDF), which locates the current price between its recent extremes (0 corresponding to the lower bound, 1 to the upper bound).
The goal is to identify relative overbought and oversold zones, where the price exceeds the channels and then begins to revert toward its statistical mean.
The indicator does not issue trading recommendations: it merely highlights specific statistical conditions for research and analytical purposes.
The “BUY” and “SELL” labels indicate such technical configurations:
– ECDF < 0.2 with price returning above the lower channels → bullish reentry.
– ECDF > 0.9 with price returning below the upper channels → bearish reentry.
The parameters (channel periods, ECDF window, smoothing) allow you to fine-tune the sensitivity of the analysis according to instrument volatility or chosen timeframe.
🟩 Buy Signal (BUY)
A buy signal is triggered when a strong downside deviation pushes the price below both channels, followed by a gradual reentry inside the bands.
More precisely:
– The low is below both channels (low < scb and low < mcb).
– The ECDF crosses back above 0.19 (exit from oversold).
– Both events occur within the last six bars.
– The price moves back above the lower channel (high > scb).
– No previous long signal is active.
This configuration represents a statistical reentry to the mean after an excessive drop.
🟥 Sell Signal (SELL)
Conversely, a sell signal appears when a strong upside deviation pushes the price above both channels, followed by a pullback below them:
– The high exceeds both channels (high > sct and high > mct).
– The ECDF crosses below 0.9 (exit from overbought).
– Both events occur within the last six bars.
– The price falls back below the upper channel (low < sct).
– No previous short signal is active.
This reflects a bearish reentry following a statistical overextension.
⚙️ Operating Logic
Each signal is triggered only once per cycle thanks to the variables triggered_long and triggered_short, preventing duplicates until a new extreme occurs.
The tool is designed for visual analysis and pattern research, not for automated execution.
🔍 ECDF Principle and Calculation
The ECDF is a non-parametric measure of a value’s position within its recent distribution:
ECDF(X)=number of values ≤XNECDF(X) = \frac{\text{number of values } \le X}{N}ECDF(X)=Nnumber of values ≤X
It expresses the empirical proportion of observations below the current value.
Example:
If, among the last 100 observations, 85 are below the current price, then
ECDF=0.85ECDF = 0.85ECDF=0.85
→ The price is at the 85th percentile, statistically high relative to recent history.
Strengths: robust, model-free, well-suited to asymmetric or non-normal market regimes.
Limitations: it does not measure amplitude and depends on the selected window size.
🌊 Intuitive Analogy: The River and the Gauge
Imagine a river with a depth gauge:
– The Z-Score tells you how many meters above the average level the water currently stands.
– The ECDF tells you in how many past cases the water level was lower than it is now.
The Z-Score assumes the river always follows the same symmetrical pattern.
The ECDF simply observes reality — adapting naturally, even when the current becomes unpredictable.
Final note:
This indicator is designed for visual and statistical exploration of price behavior.
The signals represent statistical states, not trade instructions.
Entering long or short positions based on them is entirely at your own discretion and risk.
Combined Fractal + MACD + Volume Alerts - Buy/SellOverview
This TradingView indicator is designed to save traders hours of manual analysis by automatically combining three powerful market signals into a single alert system:
Williams Fractals – identifies local highs and lows in the price structure.
MACD Crosses – confirms momentum direction and potential trend changes.
Volume Spike Detection – ensures signals occur with meaningful market participation.
The indicator will generate buy and sell alerts only when all three conditions align (or within a short configurable window), allowing traders to focus on high-probability setups without monitoring multiple charts and indicators manually.
Key Features
✅ Combined Alerts – Only triggers when Fractal, MACD, and Volume conditions are met.
✅ Early Alerts – Alerts fire as soon as the conditions occur, giving traders a head start for preparation and analysis.
✅ Optional Visuals – Plots buy/sell markers for testing and strategy verification; can be disabled for a cleaner chart.
✅ Flexible Settings – Users can adjust MACD parameters, volume multipliers, and Fractal ranges to suit their trading style.
✅ Timeframe Agnostic – Works on all timeframes; best on intraday and swing-trading charts.
✅ Non-Repainting Alerts – Ensures reliable signals without misleading historical adjustments.
How It Works
Fractals (Price Structure)
The indicator detects local highs and lows (Williams Fractals) over a configurable range of bars.
Fractals act as a support/resistance or trend turning point filter.
MACD (Momentum Confirmation)
Signals are validated with MACD line and Signal line crosses.
Optional conditions: only alert when MACD crosses above zero for a bullish trend or below zero for a bearish trend.
Volume (Participation Check)
The indicator ensures that any signal occurs with above-average volume, filtering weak or low-confidence signals.
Volume threshold is configurable via a multiplier relative to the average over a selected period.
Combined Logic
Buy Alert: Triggered when a bullish Fractal is formed and MACD crosses up and volume spike occurs.
Sell Alert: Triggered when a bearish Fractal is formed and MACD crosses down and volume spike occurs.
Optionally, the conditions can fire within 3 candles of each other, giving some flexibility for real-market timing.
Benefits for Traders
Saves Time: No need to manually watch multiple indicators.
High-Probability Alerts: Combines trend, structure, and volume for robust signals.
Customizable: Adapt to your trading style, instrument, or timeframe.
Testing & Validation: Optional visuals allow backtesting before relying solely on alerts.
Alerts Anywhere: Works on all tickers and chart timeframes supported by TradingView.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure settings:
Fractal Left/Right range (default: 2 bars).
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal lengths.
Volume multiplier to define “spike.”
Optional: enable/disable visuals for testing.
Set up TradingView alerts using the indicator’s prebuilt alert conditions.
Use the alerts as early heads-up for potential trades; validate with your strategy rules or confluences.
Tips for Traders
Start with defaults: Test on a few symbols and intraday charts first.
Adjust volume multiplier: Avoid too many alerts on low-volume symbols.
Backtest visually: Enable markers to verify signals against historical price action.
Combine with your workflow: Use alerts to prioritize charts rather than trade blindly.
Conclusion
This Combined Fractal + MACD + Volume Alerts Indicator is ideal for traders who want to automate the detection of high-probability setups while maintaining flexibility and control. It streamlines decision-making by combining price structure, momentum, and market participation into a single, actionable alert system.
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or part-time trader, this indicator saves time, reduces noise, and helps focus on the most promising trading opportunities.
Volume Weighted LR Standard DeviationThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total volatility into three distinct, interpretable components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
Three-Component Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): Calculates volatility based on the selected Source (dies führt hauptsächlich zu 'Trend'- und 'Residual'-Volatilität).
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead). This separates volatility into:
Trend Volatility (Green/Red): Volatility explained by the regression's slope (Momentum).
Residual Volatility (Yellow): Volatility from price oscillating around the regression line (Mean-Reversion).
Within-Bar Volatility (Blue): Volatility from the high-low range of each bar (Noise/Choppiness).
Dual Display Modes: The indicator offers two modes to visualize this decomposition:
Absolute Mode: Displays the total standard deviation as a stacked area chart, partitioned by the variance ratio of the three components.
Normalized Mode: Displays the direct variance ratio (proportion) of each component relative to the total (0-1), ideal for identifying the dominant market character.
Calculation Options:
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates an Exponential Regression Curve (log-space), making the analysis suitable for growth assets.
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all regression and volatility calculations.
Multi-Component Pivot Detection: Includes a pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in both the Total Volatility and the Trend Volatility Ratio. (Note: These pivots are only plotted when 'Plot Mode' is set to 'Absolute').
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Volatility Lines: The volatility lines can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 9 comprehensive alerts for:
Volatility character changes (e.g., 'Character Change from Noise to Trend').
Dominant character emerging (e.g., 'Bullish Trend Character Emerging').
Total Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.
Trend Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.

Market Structure Pivots TrendThis indicator identifies and visualizes key market structure by plotting confirmed, non-repainting pivot points. It goes beyond simple markers by classifying the pivots, extending dynamic support/resistance lines, and providing a visual representation of the current trend state.
Key Features:
Non-Repainting Pivot Detection:
Uses a standard lookback method (left and right bars) to identify historical pivot points.
Note on Confirmation: Pivots are only confirmed after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed. This is essential for ensuring the signal is non-repainting, but it introduces an inherent lag.
Automatically classifies the sequence of pivots according to Dow Theory: Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL).
Pivot Classification Filter:
Price Tolerance Filter: A user-defined percentage tolerance filters out insignificant market noise. A pivot is only classified as 'Higher' or 'Lower' if its price exceeds the previous one by more than the set tolerance, leading to more robust signals.
Equal Pivot Detection: The tolerance also enables the detection of Equal Highs (EH) and Equal Lows (EL), highlighting consolidation zones.
Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines:
When enabled, the indicator extends a horizontal line from the most recent confirmed pivot high and low.
These lines update in real-time, providing clear S/R levels.
Lines automatically terminate if the price decisively breaks through them or if a new pivot of the same type is formed.
Trend State Visualization:
A built-in state machine analyzes the sequence of pivots and breaks to determine the current market trend (Uptrend, Downtrend, or Neutral).
Plots a dynamic step-line based on recent highs/lows to visually represent the current trend state.
Full Customization & Alerts:
Display Options: Choose between simple triangles or detailed text labels that show the pivot type, price, and the absolute or relative change from the previous pivot of the same type.
Visual Styling: Full control over colors for all six pivot types (HH, LH, EH, LL, HL, EL) and line styles.
Comprehensive Alerts: Set up alerts for every new pivot formation (e.g., HH, LL), for S/R line breaks, and for changes in the overall trend state (Up, Down, Neutral).

Inside SwingsOverview
The Inside Swings indicator identifies and visualizes "inside swing" patterns in price action. These patterns occur when price creates a series of pivots that form overlapping ranges, indicating potential consolidation or reversal zones.
What are Inside Swings?
Inside swings are specific pivot patterns where:
- HLHL Pattern: High-Low-High-Low sequence where the first high is higher than the second high, and the first low is lower than the second low
- LHLH Pattern: Low-High-Low-High sequence where the first low is lower than the second low, and the first high is higher than the second high
Here an Example
These patterns create overlapping price ranges that often act as:
- Support/Resistance zones
- Consolidation areas
- Potential reversal points
- Breakout levels
Levels From the Created Range
Input Parameters
Core Settings
- Pivot Lookback Length (default: 5): Number of bars on each side to confirm a pivot high/low
- Max Boxes (default: 100): Maximum number of patterns to display on chart
Extension Settings
- Extend Lines: Enable/disable line extensions - this extends the Extremes of the Swings to where a new Swing Started or Extended Right for the Latest Inside Swings
- Show High 1 Line: Display first high/low extension line
- Show High 2 Line: Display second high/low extension line
- Show Low 1 Line: Display first low/high extension line
- Show Low 2 Line: Display second low/high extension line
Visual Customization
Box Colors
- HLHL Box Color: Color for HLHL pattern boxes (default: green)
- HLHL Border Color: Border color for HLHL boxes
- LHLH Box Color: Color for LHLH pattern boxes (default: red)
- LHLH Border Color: Border color for LHLH boxes
Line Colors
- HLHL Line Color: Extension line color for HLHL patterns
- LHLH Line Color: Extension line color for LHLH patterns
- Line Width: Thickness of extension lines (1-5)
Pattern Detection Logic
HLHL Pattern (Bullish Inside Swing)
Condition: High1 > High2 AND Low1 < Low2
Sequence: High → Low → High → Low
Visual: Two overlapping boxes with first range encompassing second
Detection Criteria:
1. Last 4 pivots form High-Low-High-Low sequence
2. Fourth pivot (first high) > Second pivot (second high)
3. Third pivot (first low) < Last pivot (second low)
LHLH Pattern (Bearish Inside Swing)
Condition: Low1 < Low2 AND High1 > High2
Sequence: Low → High → Low → High
Visual: Two overlapping boxes with first range encompassing second
Detection Criteria:
1. Last 4 pivots form Low-High-Low-High sequence
2. Fourth pivot (first low) < Second pivot (second low)
3. Third pivot (first high) > Last pivot (second high)
Visual Elements
Boxes
- Box 1: Spans from first pivot to last pivot (larger range)
- Box 2: Spans from third pivot to last pivot (smaller range)
- Overlap: The intersection of both boxes represents the inside swing zone
Extension Lines
- High 1 Line: Horizontal line at first high/low level
- High 2 Line: Horizontal line at second high/low level
- Low 1 Line: Horizontal line at first low/high level
- Low 2 Line: Horizontal line at second low/high level
Line Extension Behavior
- Historical Patterns: Lines extend until the next pattern starts
- Latest Pattern: Lines extend to the right edge of chart
- Dynamic Updates: All lines are redrawn on each bar for accuracy
Trading Applications
Support/Resistance Levels
Inside swing levels often act as:
- Dynamic support/resistance
- Breakout confirmation levels
- Reversal entry points
Pattern Interpretation
- HLHL Patterns: Potential bullish continuation or reversal
- LHLH Patterns: Potential bearish continuation or reversal
- Overlap Zone: Key area for price interaction
Entry Strategies
1. Breakout Strategy: Enter on break above/below inside swing levels
2. Reversal Strategy: Enter on bounce from inside swing levels
3. Range Trading: Trade between inside swing levels
Technical Implementation

[Defaust] Fractals Fractals Indicator
Overview
The Fractals Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market by detecting fractal patterns. This indicator is a fork of the original fractals indicator, with adjustments made to the plotting for enhanced visual clarity and usability.
What Are Fractals?
In trading, a fractal is a pattern consisting of five consecutive bars (candlesticks) that meet specific conditions:
Up Fractal (Potential Sell Signal): Occurs when a high point is surrounded by two lower highs on each side.
Down Fractal (Potential Buy Signal): Occurs when a low point is surrounded by two higher lows on each side.
Fractals help traders identify potential tops and bottoms in the market, signaling possible entry or exit points.
Features of the Indicator
Customizable Periods (n): Allows you to define the number of periods to consider when detecting fractals, offering flexibility to adapt to different trading strategies and timeframes.
Enhanced Plotting Adjustments: This fork introduces adjustments to the plotting of fractal signals for better visual representation on the chart.
Visual Signals: Plots up and down triangles on the chart to signify down fractals (potential bullish signals) and up fractals (potential bearish signals), respectively.
Overlay on Chart: The fractal signals are overlaid directly on the price chart for immediate visualization.
Adjustable Precision: You can set the precision of the plotted values according to your needs.
Pine Script Code Explanation
Below is the Pine Script code for the Fractals Indicator:
//@version=5 indicator(" Fractals", shorttitle=" Fractals", format=format.price, precision=0, overlay=true)
// User input for the number of periods to consider for fractal detection n = input.int(title="Periods", defval=2, minval=2)
// Initialize flags for up fractal detection bool upflagDownFrontier = true bool upflagUpFrontier0 = true bool upflagUpFrontier1 = true bool upflagUpFrontier2 = true bool upflagUpFrontier3 = true bool upflagUpFrontier4 = true
// Loop through previous and future bars to check conditions for up fractals for i = 1 to n // Check if the highs of previous bars are less than the current bar's high upflagDownFrontier := upflagDownFrontier and (high < high ) // Check various conditions for future bars upflagUpFrontier0 := upflagUpFrontier0 and (high < high ) upflagUpFrontier1 := upflagUpFrontier1 and (high <= high and high < high ) upflagUpFrontier2 := upflagUpFrontier2 and (high <= high and high <= high and high < high ) upflagUpFrontier3 := upflagUpFrontier3 and (high <= high and high <= high and high <= high and high < high ) upflagUpFrontier4 := upflagUpFrontier4 and (high <= high and high <= high and high <= high and high <= high and high < high )
// Combine the flags to determine if an up fractal exists flagUpFrontier = upflagUpFrontier0 or upflagUpFrontier1 or upflagUpFrontier2 or upflagUpFrontier3 or upflagUpFrontier4 upFractal = (upflagDownFrontier and flagUpFrontier)
// Initialize flags for down fractal detection bool downflagDownFrontier = true bool downflagUpFrontier0 = true bool downflagUpFrontier1 = true bool downflagUpFrontier2 = true bool downflagUpFrontier3 = true bool downflagUpFrontier4 = true
// Loop through previous and future bars to check conditions for down fractals for i = 1 to n // Check if the lows of previous bars are greater than the current bar's low downflagDownFrontier := downflagDownFrontier and (low > low ) // Check various conditions for future bars downflagUpFrontier0 := downflagUpFrontier0 and (low > low ) downflagUpFrontier1 := downflagUpFrontier1 and (low >= low and low > low ) downflagUpFrontier2 := downflagUpFrontier2 and (low >= low and low >= low and low > low ) downflagUpFrontier3 := downflagUpFrontier3 and (low >= low and low >= low and low >= low and low > low ) downflagUpFrontier4 := downflagUpFrontier4 and (low >= low and low >= low and low >= low and low >= low and low > low )
// Combine the flags to determine if a down fractal exists flagDownFrontier = downflagUpFrontier0 or downflagUpFrontier1 or downflagUpFrontier2 or downflagUpFrontier3 or downflagUpFrontier4 downFractal = (downflagDownFrontier and flagDownFrontier)
// Plot the fractal symbols on the chart with adjusted plotting plotshape(downFractal, style=shape.triangleup, location=location.belowbar, offset=-n, color=color.gray, size=size.auto) plotshape(upFractal, style=shape.triangledown, location=location.abovebar, offset=-n, color=color.gray, size=size.auto)
Explanation:
Input Parameter (n): Sets the number of periods for fractal detection. The default value is 2, and it must be at least 2 to ensure valid fractal patterns.
Flag Initialization: Boolean variables are used to store intermediate conditions during fractal detection.
Loops: Iterate through the specified number of periods to evaluate the conditions for fractal formation.
Conditions:
Up Fractals: Checks if the current high is greater than previous highs and if future highs are lower or equal to the current high.
Down Fractals: Checks if the current low is lower than previous lows and if future lows are higher or equal to the current low.
Flag Combination: Logical and and or operations are used to combine the flags and determine if a fractal exists.
Adjusted Plotting:
The plotting of fractal symbols has been adjusted for better alignment and visual clarity.
The offset parameter is set to -n to align the plotted symbols with the correct bars.
The color and size have been fine-tuned for better visibility.
How to Use the Indicator
Adding the Indicator to Your Chart
Open TradingView:
Go to TradingView.
Access the Chart:
Click on "Chart" to open the main charting interface.
Add the Indicator:
Click on the "Indicators" button at the top.
Search for " Fractals".
Select the indicator from the list to add it to your chart.
Configuring the Indicator
Periods (n):
Default value is 2.
Adjust this parameter based on your preferred timeframe and sensitivity.
A higher value of n considers more bars for fractal detection, potentially reducing the number of signals but increasing their significance.
Interpreting the Signals
– Up Fractal (Downward Triangle): Indicates a potential price reversal to the downside. May be used as a signal to consider exiting long positions or tightening stop-loss orders.
– Down Fractal (Upward Triangle): Indicates a potential price reversal to the upside. May be used as a signal to consider entering long positions or setting stop-loss orders for short positions.
Trading Strategy Suggestions
Up Fractal Detection:
The high of the current bar (n) is higher than the highs of the previous two bars (n - 1, n - 2).
The highs of the next bars meet certain conditions to confirm the fractal pattern.
An up fractal symbol (downward triangle) is plotted above the bar at position n - n (due to the offset).
Down Fractal Detection:
The low of the current bar (n) is lower than the lows of the previous two bars (n - 1, n - 2).
The lows of the next bars meet certain conditions to confirm the fractal pattern.
A down fractal symbol (upward triangle) is plotted below the bar at position n - n.
Benefits of Using the Fractals Indicator
Early Signals: Helps in identifying potential reversal points in price movements.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjusting the n parameter allows you to fine-tune the indicator based on different market conditions.
Enhanced Visuals: Adjustments to plotting improve the clarity and readability of fractal signals on the chart.
Limitations and Considerations
Lagging Indicator: Fractals require future bars to confirm the pattern, which may introduce a delay in the signals.
False Signals: In volatile or ranging markets, fractals may produce false signals. It's advisable to use them in conjunction with other analysis tools.
Not a Standalone Tool: Fractals should be part of a broader trading strategy that includes other indicators and fundamental analysis.
Best Practices for Using This Indicator
Combine with Other Indicators: Use in combination with trend indicators, oscillators, or volume analysis to confirm signals.
Backtesting: Before applying the indicator in live trading, backtest it on historical data to understand its performance.
Adjust Periods Accordingly: Experiment with different values of n to find the optimal setting for the specific asset and timeframe you are trading.
