Can you develop a strategy for this indicator? When nearest fractal broken up/down at the close of candle strategy opens buy/sell positions. (buy at open of the second green bar ,sell at open of the second red bar)

thanks again..

Hello,

this sounds like a very useful indicator. may i request, what is the difference between the three: advanced fractal vs. advanced fractal trend overlay vs. bf_advanced fractal?

also, the version on page 1, is that the most updated version?

thanks in advance.

Is Overlay for the simple strategy that uses advanced fractal.

bf_advanced fractal
Shows the position of fractals from other (higher) time frames.

Apprentice, as always, thanks for the fast response.

FXCM has a fractal indicator already and I compared theirs to advance fractal with periods set to 5, got the same result, as expected. I then changed advance fractal period to 7 and the results were still the same. I also tested it for 9, 11 and 13 but the results remained same each time. Should this be?

We know that a basic fractal is identified as (let's call this level 5):
HIGH: price sets a high with the 2 bars to the left and to the right having lower highs
LOW: price sets a low with the 2 bars to the left and to the right having higher lows

Adjusting the periods then to say 7 would mean (let's call this level 7):
HIGH: price sets a high with 3 bars to the left and 3 bars to the right having lower highs
LOW: price sets a low with 3 bars to the left and 3 bars to the right having higher lows

I was wondering if we could build on the existing advanced fractal indicator. That is, show all basic fractals but when level 7 or level 9, or a level 11 fractal appears the number 7,9 or 11 respectively would appear above or below the fractal symbol?

Thanks,
Nazaar

p.s. I can't believe I am studying fractals at 10pm EST on a Friday night and excited about it. :D

I would like to use this only as a stoploss, could you add this as option or would it be easier to build new strategy?

Also add an option to add a few pips beyond the actual wick high or low.
