Advanced Fractal
Advanced, Fractal indicator allows you to change, length of time frame that is checked. The algorithm allows only odd numbers.
Changes in trend are registered as follows.
Up Trend. The closing price is higher than the Up fractal. Down Trend The closing price is lower than the Down fractal.

what exactly does the number of fractals (odd) mean? Thanks a lot!
Re: Advanced Fractal
bjmerkel · Wed Apr 21, 2010 3:23 pm
is the length of time minutes or how does that work?
Re: Advanced Fractal
thetruth · Thu Aug 12, 2010 4:24 pm
can you put a other time frame option?? example, if you are in a 5 min time frame, calculate the fractal in 15 min? and put this in same graph? thanks!! and good work!!

Jigit Jigit · Sat Oct 30, 2010 10:41 am
Hi, Thank you for this excellent indicator Alexander.
Can you, please, help me with the following problems: 1) I have just installed the new Marketscope patch (the one posted here) and (as a result?) BF_Advanced_Fractal stopped working. I leave the the default settings, it does start loading but after a short while an “error” message appears in a bracket, on its label (see the pic in the attachment)
2) Why do the arrows representing fractals point in the directions opposite to the directions of the fractals they represent? That is to say, why is a fractal up represented by a down arrow, and a down fractal by an up arrow? Don’t you think it’s rather misleading?
I’ll be much obliged for you help on those issues. Cheers
Re: Advanced Fractal
Apprentice · Sun Oct 31, 2010 6:39 am

Cheers Alexander, I have tried to load it again but it didn’t help. So I uninstalled the patch and it works now. I guess there must be something wrong with this patch then.
What about those “misleading arrows” business? Why do they point in the opposite directions (both in the standard Marketscope indicator and in yours BF_Advanced)?

Re: Advanced Fractal
Blackcat2 · Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:19 am
On a hindsight, the fractal seems to be accurate but in practice, using paramter 7, the signal appears like 3 candles (I’m using 15M chart) after the peak/bottom occured which is way way too late and practically unusable..
I was going to test this using a lower TF but the higher TF refused to set to lower TF, for example, place the indicator on 15M Chart but set it to look at 5M chart and place the fractal on 15M chart as soon as the 5M chart generated the signal, is this possible?
Thanks BC

Re: Advanced Fractal

On which version applies your remark. Regular or BF variant.
I just tested regular and works as expected.
I tested with default parameters, which parameters you are using.
Re: Advanced Fractal
skarlaken · Wed Nov 03, 2010 7:44 am
Hi Apprentice,
Thanks so much for the quick response!
I use several chart timeframes from 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 1D, 1W and I normally trade off 30m with 5m and 15m as leading triggers
I’m using the BF variant with the following parameters on my charts:
On 1min chart I use “Timeframe to calculate” = 5min and Number of fractals = 5 On 5min chart I use “Timeframe to calculate” = 15min and Number of fractals = 5 On 15min chart I use “Timeframe to calculate” = 30min and Number of fractals = 5 On 30min chart I use “Timeframe to calculate” = 1hour and Number of fractals = 5 On 1hour chart I use “Timeframe to calculate” = 2hour and Number of fractals = 5
This seems to reduce false signals quite a bit and also helps with confirmation. I also use TRENDLORD, AROON & EHLERS_HEATMAP as confirmation.
The main problem I have is that in order to get the BF variant to update I have no other choice than to go into edit mode and back to the chart. This then updates.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help!

Surajs · Sun Jan 02, 2011 12:30 pm
Hi Apprentice
Thanks for a great indicator - I wonder if there is a way to only display the marker arrows based on the number of bars visible on the chart i.e if I scroll back and then step forward I want to be able to see the marker arrows develop as the new bars come into play as a kind of ‘forward testing’ on old data to learn how to use the indicator.
Thanks,
Suraj
Re: Advanced Fractal
Apprentice · Sun Jan 02, 2011 2:54 pm
I’m not sure what you want to achieve. If I understand well, you would like fractal indication before it is confirmed. For the last fractal. Am I hit the meaning of your request
Re: Advanced Fractal
Surajs · Sun Jan 02, 2011 4:57 pm
Hi Apprentice,
Thanks for the quick reply.
What I want to achieve is as follows: if for example I bring up a chart with the advanced fractal and it shows a number of up and down fractal indicators - then if I drag the chart to the right so that the most recent bars start to go off the screen ( as if I am looking at the chart on an earlier date/time) then the unconfirmed up or down arrows should disappear as the more recent bars disappear to the right. In other words if I am looking at a chart with some previous days data showing, only the fractal indicators confirmed by the bars visible on the chart should show until I drag the chart to the left to show more (enough) bars on the right of the display to confirm newer fractal indicator Arrows. It is as if I start the chart at an already earlier date with some fractal signals and as I drag the chart to see more and more new bars the newer fractal indicators appear when there is enough newer bars to confirm signals
You bring up a real good point about being able to see the unconfirmed fractal indicator: - if this was possible for example: let us say we are plotting a 5 period fractal and assign say arbitrary 25% completion for each higher high and each lower high (and vice versa on the other side) - then on the chart we could show a grey fractal indicator of darker shades until the fractal is confirmed and we change the indicator colour to the confirmed Down (or Up) fractal indicator colour - or in case the completion is scratched (negated) because of a bar high or low cancels the indicator confirmation, then we remove the grey arrow until the next fractal indicator starts to be processed.
(Sorry for my English and the wordy post - hopefully I have been able to clarify)
Thanks in advance,
Surajs

Hi Guys,
I was wondering, the AF behaves differently on shorter timeframes. Eg: When I use AF on a 1 Minute chart, the updating of the fractals is more regular than a 30 Minute. I spent 4 hours today watching a 1 minute chart - - i know!
I do prefer the AF on a 30 Minute TF.
Does it really behave differently on shorter TFs? And if so, why?
Many thanks and much love. XX lisa_baby_xx

ndx100 · Sat Nov 19, 2011 9:50 pm
And one more thing.. Can you add a bar coloring option? for example when prices break an upfractal up (close higher than nearest upfractal) , bars color turn green (or another selected color) and stay green until a down fractal broken down AND when prices break a downfractal down (close lower than nearest downfractal) , bars color turn red and stay red until a up fractal broken up..
this option will make easier to understand fractals and break points..

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. nazaar
Re: Advanced Fractal
Apprentice · Fri Dec 02, 2011 6:08 pm
advanced fractal Fractal indicator with adjustable number of periods.
advanced fractal trend overlay Is Overlay for the simple strategy that uses advanced fractal.
bf_advanced fractal Shows the position of fractals from other (higher) time frames.
Re: Advanced Fractal
nazaar · Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:08 pm
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 basicfractal 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 leftand 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.

First, this is, indicator, not a strategy. However, you can use it, as an independent strategy, or build in the algorithm. Both, however, must be programmed. This is especially true for the build in version.

That way an horizontal line, usefull for Breakout and stuff is kind of seen. Just a matter of “sight”. Thanks please

Apprentice,
I’m little confused about historical view and i don’t have a suggestion. Let’s ignore it.
I have a question about AFBSR.lua. If number of fractals is n then for non-repaint edition of AFBSR is sufficient n periods shift? How many periods shift required?

Hi Apprentice
I’ve just discovered the AFBSRand I think it’s brilliant.
Is there any way you can include an alert in the same way as you have with the ADVANCED_FRACTAL_WITH_ALERT and also make it possible to change the Style and length of the line as well as the thickness? I’d like to plot the line just using the day data and then display it on the lower time frames but when I do this the dotted lines look a bit scrappy so I think a solid line would be better.
I hope you can manage this as I think this will answer a lot of my needs.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Can you make an Advanced Fractal version that doesn’t draw the last fractal until current period or candle is complete? For example, when a new candle starts without breaking the last low/high, a false fractal may be drawn.
Thanks!!

I modified this indicator to show Supply & Demand levels more clearly at the close of the candles, and limited the number of lines it will draw, so it doesn’t crash anymore. Now, the Length is also the number of candles to be tested. I also fixed the line width & style and generally cleaned up the code. I think it is a very useful indicator for those trading S&D on higher time frames.

Hello Apprentice,
Can You make a modification in the Advanced Fractal with Alert Indicator to make it execute two* external *.exe files after to play the alert sound?
*If the signal is up execute the first file, if the signal is down execute the second file.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards.

For now I solved my problem inserting the following lines pointed by arrows:
(..)
if U[id]~=source:serial(period-Shift) and period == source:size()-1 and not FIRST then U[id]=source:serial(period-Shift); SoundAlert(Up[id]); ==» os.execute(“G:\ForexDB\Buy1xDN0m.exe”) EmailAlert( Label[id], “ Down “, period-Shift); if Show then Pop(Label[id], “ Down” ); end end
(..)
if D[id]~=source:serial(period-Shift) and period == source:size()-1 and not FIRST then D[id]=source:serial(period-Shift); SoundAlert(Down[id]); ==» os.execute(“G:\ForexDB\Buy1xUP0m.exe”) EmailAlert( Label[id] , “ Up”, period-Shift); if Show then Pop(Label[id], “ Up “ ); end end
(..)
But more elegant solution would be insert a session to permit the non programer user to choose the external files to up and down situations. I don’t know LUA enough to do this task and I’m very sick to learn.
Re: Advanced Fractal
Lucilene · Tue Feb 28, 2017 7:04 am

Re: Advanced Fractal

Try this version.
Advanced_Fractal_with_Alert.lua
But there is downside of the users request: TS freezes during execution of the users exe file (you can’t do otherwise in Lua, unfortunately).
Perhaps you can run .bat execute .exe from .bat?
