Description & Settings
Related: institutional fractal dimension index (regime detector) - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 5 traders.
The i-GD-R Fractal Levels indicator displays the average values of fractals over a specified period. It highlights three distinct price levels on the chart using different colors, with corresponding visual representations to the right of text labels that account for calculation variations.Also recommended: fractal adaptive moving average (frama) - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
The indicator functions by analyzing a limited number of bars, defined by its parameters, from the end of the chart history towards the beginning. Within this interval, it identifies fractals, calculates the three price levels with the highest fractal occurrences, and determines the price for each fractal. The average price among these determined fractals is then displayed. The spread of prices for other fractals contributes to the line's size, indicating a strong level.
Only three price levels are generated from all fractals. Each level is assigned a color based on the number of fractals contributing to its formation: red for the strongest level, yellow for the middle, and green for the weakest, all of which should be considered in trading.
Usage in Trading:
Similar to other levels in the forex market, these fractal levels have no unique differences but should be traded in the direction of their breakout. Entry into the market should align with the breakout direction of these levels, as this provides the strongest trading signal. Nearby levels can serve as initial stop-loss points and profit targets.
