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.
Description
This study project is a Scalping Pullback trading Tool that incorporates the majority of the indicators needed to analyse and scalp Trends for Pull Backs and reversals on 1min, 5min or 15min charts. The set up utilies Heikin Ashi candle charts. Incorporated within this tool are the following indicators:
1. Major industry (Banks) recognised important...
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...
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...
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.
I love the default TradingView "Williams Fractal" indicator but I wanted want more flexibility to customize the style of the fractals like the wonderful indicator by @miyako.pro (1).
After noticing a missing fractal, I was intrigued to create a new indicator inspired by how Bill Williams describes fractals in his book Trading Chaos (2).
Please comment to report...
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 ;).
Ignore the other one (it contains some errors).
On this FRAMA you can play with length, SC and FC.
Just read on below links to understand more about this super useful moving...
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.

Credit goes to Shizaru for the original calculation. I made just a few fixes, so that the calculation is really that of Ehlers.
Fixed H2 and L2 period, fixed w natural logarithm
This script adds a Bill Williams Alligator to your charts and the three wisemen:
1. Wiseman 1 - Bullish or bearish divergent bars shown with a circle (be sure to check angulation manually).
2. Wiseman 2 - Super AO - with a square.
3 Wiseman 3 - Fractal with a triangle.
Be sure to wait until the current bar is closed before using these signals.
Reference: ...
LazyBear's WaveTrend port has been praised for highlighting trend reversals with precision and punctuality (minimal lag). But strong "3rd Wave" trends can "embed" or saturate any oscillator flashing several premature crosses while stuck overbought/oversold. This happens when the trend stretches over a longer timescale than the oscillator's averaging window or...
