Dear Coders,

Can this Indicator be coded - Pure Intraday ?

For BUY :

1. Candle makes a new low during Intraday TF AND

2. Candle color is Green/Blue

Need a pop up alert @ candle close for BUY

It sound like you are looking for Fractal with extra condition to check if bar is up or down.

See if this Fractal meets your basic requirement - HHLL

if you are OK with how it works, all we need to is to add some check if current bar is Up or Down.


Otherwise, you need to provide a bit more specific - why this Fractal doesn't work.

Update 1: I have added condition to check if condition is met. See how it goes.
Update 2: Symbol for Up/Down changed to Arrow

Hi BlueRain,

I downloaded this Indicator : jrcMOD_Fractals-Reversal-Candle.mq4

My Observation :

1. Sometimes the arrow dissappears. Is it due to FRACTALS Nature ?

2. Sometimes there is signal when no new intraday high or low is made. I have attached picture for the same.

3. The Alert sometimes keeps on updating till the candle closes. Can it be made as 1 time alert on open bar and on close bar.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort..

The other BB indicator works great ...

Let's tackle one at a time.

As is, this Fractal is looking back certain period/bar to calculate HH and LL ( default is 25 but you can change.)
I didn't change original one as I wasn't sure what you really wanted and/or if this Fractal may works or not.

It seems if you want to reset this fractal process every day.. I might have to change period dynamically first.

Let me work on that period change first.

It seems what you are really looking for was "Daily High Low" with Reversal Candle, not Fractal.
Please check below

1. Original Daily High Low - which will draw line of Daily High Low
2. Modified version of Daily High Low to check Reversal Candle on High Low point with arrow

Try out and see if this works or in need of modification.

It might be it is below your screen.
I have noticed that when you are using lower time frame, specially 1M chart, those arrow might be placed too low you won't see unless you zoom out.

I had a case where even zoom out 1M to max won't show arrow on the lower side.

When an arrow is placed, it add some space using ATR/2.

HIBuffer[i] = High[i] + atr/2;
LOBuffer[i] = Low[i] - atr/2;

Possibly, You can try to delete those extra space and see how it works.


HIBuffer[i] = High[i];

LOBuffer[i] = Low[i];


It may work but it will be too close to price candle.

This trading method really does produce some nice pips. I cannot say I own the method or created the method but it is worth its weight especially when used from the 4hr and daily time frames.
From the 4hr I generally target 50 pips per trade or daily 100 pips and sometimes follow through with a nice trend.
It will be well worth your while if you do some back testing on this method as it does produce some nice results.

It might work nicely with ATR Band I use.

Sure. Here that is ….I picked up from some place I don't remember.

It is actually TMA ATR Channel and I have attached template for this.
There will be about 6 or 7 multipliers you can use but I only use 2.

Rpasupathy great concept ,maybe someone can code an EA that gives an option for timeframe and also to have an option for lot size or % of account risked and TP1 is middle BB band ,move stop to break even and take half the profits out and target outer BB band for TP2.

Rpasupathy,
Nice method you have designed. Simplistic in everyway. From a brief review on several pairs it will produce the pips. I tested the 5M & the 15M & both works well. I wish you well.

BlueRain,
Great indicators you have. I look at these type of indicators as more of a guide than an indicator in the traditional sense such as MACD or RSI. Thank you for sharing you skills.
