Description:
Bill Williams. FractalLine
Formula Parameters:
Strength: 2 Notes:
According to Bill Williams, one should enter the market after the new price
top (for long positions) or bottom (for short positions) has been broken
through. The identification here is based on defining the genuine fractal
formation; an upward fractal is detected if there is a row (at least three)
increasing values and after the local top has been achieved, bars (at least
two bars) show a constant descent. So the model requires at least 5 bars of
which the middle one is the local top (upward fractal) or the local bottom
(downward fractal) Entry orders according to this concept are usually posted
as stop orders activated after the price breaks through a preset level, where
the identification of the market`s leaving the previous price corridor takes place.
This indicator displays such levels, relative to which one decided whether the
price has broken out of the previous corridor.
