how to use fractals?

i have inserted a image below.. what is the code for the latest fractal up and fractal down?

i want my EA to calculate 3 fractal up and 3 fractal down?
firstup = iFractals (Symbol (), null, MODE_UPPER, 1); - is the blue circle?
secondup = iFractals (Symbol (), null, MODE_UPPER, 2); - the next fractal up to the left?
thirdup = iFractals (Symbol (), null, MODE_UPPER, 3);- the next fractal up to the right?

firstdown =iFractals (Symbol (), null, MODE_LOWER, 1); - YELLOW CIRCLE?
seconddown? thirddown?

i thought the shift in ifractal was for each fractals not bars.. COULD SOMEONE HELP ME IN THE CODE? FOR EACH.. THANK YOU..

Hi Ferman, hope this simple code can be an example:
sure u need to change a bit for your need, I manage to find my previous coding for fractals


// Fractals


int barfractal;
int lookback3 = 3; /* you can set look back at how many bars, example here 3 bars*/

{
for(cnt=0; cnt<=lookback3; cnt++)
{
// Lower fractals
double fr = iFractals(NULL, 0, MODE_LOWER, ib);
if(fr != 0 ) lowerfractal = fr;

if (lowerfractal !=0) barfractal = cnt;//this to get which bar that had lowerfractal signal
// Upper fractals
fr = iFractals(NULL, 0, MODE_UPPER, ib);

if(fr != 0 ) upperfractal = fr;
if (upperfractal !=0) barfractal = cnt;//this to get which bar that had upperfractal signal

}

}

//hope this will help you, if you had an idea for good system with your mention fractals,pls share with me.
