Description & Settings

Related: wlx fractals indicator - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 4 traders.

This indicator is a modified version of the classical Fractals indicator.

It allows you to customize the number of left and right bars required to identify a new top or bottom, along with a shift parameter for visualization.

Also recommended: advanced fractals indicator - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 4.

The 'leftbars' and 'rightbars' parameters define the number of bars to the left and right, respectively, needed to form a top or bottom.
The 'shift' parameter can be set to 0 for clear visualization of the top/bottom levels.

For optimal use, it is recommended to set the parameter to the maximum of 'leftbars' and 'rightbars' to accurately determine tops and bottoms.

A newer version of the FractalsMod indicator is available, which accepts only two external variables: 'leftbars' and 'rightbars'.

Note that the indicator is not defined for the first 'rightbars' number of bars.

When using this indicator in an Expert Advisor (EA), you can define fractal levels using the iCustom function. For example:

double fractalsup = iCustom(null, 0, "fractalsmodv2", leftbars, rightbars, 0, rightbars + 1);
or
double fractalsdown = iCustom(null, 0, "fractalsmodv2", leftbars, rightbars, 1, rightbars + 1);
