Fractals are not only abundant in nature, they are also the building blocks of trends. They are simple yet important, repetitive formations, self-similar across different time frames and used by traders to identify or conform a trend (markets trend about 30% of the time) in order to trade it profitably. When broken apart, they exhibit the same characteristics as greater patterns or price movements. Fractals lag the market, because it takes time for them to form. They can include any number of bars, though the minimum is 5.
Fractals form the swing points of the market (creating fractal levels) and bearish fractals and bullish fractals are distinct. There are several trading strategies based on them, each with their own set of rules for entry and exit. Some traders use them to draw trend lines. Bill Williams uses fractals in his trading system and developed an indicator to identify them. Whether they are used alone or in combination with other techniques such as Fibonacci levels, Support & Resistance, or other indicators, fractals can be useful tools in a technical trader's toolbox.

I noticed there weren't any code templates for Williams Fractals, therefore I have written this script to be a template and tutorial for those learning Pine Script. Each line is commented to show what it does.
If you don't know what Williams Fractals are, here is a brief explanation.
Bill Williams Fractals is a lagging indicator used to plot trend reversals on a...
Requested Update to this Indicator alert project. In this update I have added the option to be able select which Price Action candles you want included in the display and the generated alarm Alert. Other changes also included in this update:
Also added a Price Action candle for "Last Fractal S/R Break", this also a good continuation indication.
Added option to...
This long only strategy determines the price of the last fractal top and enters a trade when the price breaks above the last fractal top. The strategy also calculates the average price of the last fractal tops to get the trend direction. The strategy exits the long trade, when the average of the fractal tops is falling (when the trend is lower highs as measured by...
Update to the zigzag, now it ignores the second top/bottom untill it finds a inversed top/bottom. TBTBTBTBTBTBTB instead of TBBTTBTBBTBTTB.
Updated to V8, link bellow in the related ideas.
My first indicator.
A simple average of last 1 to 10 fractals (top and bottom)
Trade breakouts of top or bottom lines.
Feel free to use and experiment with.
Frank Baumann
EXPERIMENTAL: reads the rates for the last top/bottom in a zigzag fractal series, outputs XAB, XAD, ABC, and BCD rates, im interested in earing what your opinion is as im a total noob in harmonics :p.
use with Fractals V5 for visual confirmation ;).
Looking for something other than a moving average to help determine not only a trend's strength, but also it's direction? Try PFE!
PFE was developed by Hans Hannula that was invented to determine price efficiency over a user-defined time period.
The Polarized Fractal Efficiency indicator is, in the essence, an exponentially smoothed ratio of the length of two...
