Advanced Fractal Envelopes Average Upper and Lower Fractal Prices

Summary

Advanced Fractal Envelopes constructs upper and lower bands by averaging the prices of recent upper and lower fractals. The user sets how many fractals contribute to the averages, and may choose whether to display the resulting central line and the fractals themselves. The central line is defined as the midpoint between the upper and lower averages.

The description provides formulas for the bands and midpoint, and says the averages use a simple moving average over the selected number of fractals. It does not explain how fractals are identified, specify a trading rule for band interactions, or provide examples, backtests, or performance results. The indicator therefore offers a way to visualize smoothed fractal price levels, but the document does not establish that these levels predict reversals, breakouts, or profitable entries. Its practical interpretation and use are left to the trader.

Key ideas

• The upper envelope averages prices from a selected number of upper fractals.
• The lower envelope averages prices from a selected number of lower fractals.
• The central line is the midpoint between the upper and lower averages.
• Display settings determine whether the central line and fractal markers appear.
• The description gives no trading rules or evidence that the envelopes predict price moves.
