this updated version operates independently of the built-in ifractals indicator. instead, it employs its own analysis, closely mirroring bill williams' original definition of fractals.
consequently, the number of distinct fractals has decreased, leading to more significant signals when fractal lines are breached. the indicator now functions accurately across all timeframes.
extrendv2 provides buy or sell signals based on a specific fractal line breakout model:
- buy signal: if(icustom(null, 0, "extrendv2", 0, 2) != null)
- sell signal: if(icustom(null, 0, "extrendv2", 0, 3) != null)
this refinement enhances the reliability and interpretability of trading signals generated by the indicator.
