Description & Settings
GreenDog
iGDR_Fractal_Levels indicator shows the fractals average values over a certain period of time. The indicator displays only three levels on the chart showing them in different colors. The same levels are plotted to the right from the text labels, though considering the variation used for calculation of an average value.
The indicator works as follows. The chart time interval from the end to the beginning is selected but a strictly limited number of bars specified in the indicator parameters is taken at the same time. Searching for fractals is carried out at this interval. Three price levels with the highest number of fractals are calculated afterwards and the price of each fractal is determined. Then the average price is found among determined ones. This average price is then displayed by the indicator, while a spread of prices of other fractals enlarges the line size, as this spread is the most powerful level.
Only three price levels are formed from all fractal ones by the indicator. Each of the three has its own color depending on the number of fractals included in building of this level. The strongest level is red, the middle one is yellow, while the weakest one is painted in green, though it also must be considered in trading activity.
