ExTrendV2 Fractal Channels and Breakout Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

ExTrendV2 is an indicator that draws channels from fractal points and issues buy or sell signals when a specified fractal-line breakout pattern occurs. Its method replaces the platform’s built-in fractal indicator with a custom analysis intended to follow Bill Williams’ original fractal definition more closely.

The document says this approach produces fewer clean fractals and treats resulting channel breaks as more significant. It describes the indicator’s design but provides no performance tests, signal rules in detail, or evidence that the breakouts are profitable. Traders would need to assess its behavior and risk independently before relying on the signals.

Key ideas

  • ExTrendV2 constructs channels from fractal points using its own fractal analysis.
  • The method is intended to more closely reflect Bill Williams’ fractal definition.
  • It generates buy or sell signals for a specified fractal-line breakout pattern.
  • The description claims fewer clean fractals and more significant breakouts but provides no performance evidence.
