Finding Price Zones from Clusters of Nearby Fractals

Summary

This document describes an indicator that identifies price levels where four fractals lie close together horizontally. It searches within a configurable bar window, whose right edge can be shifted, and outputs the closest qualifying fractals as levels. Inputs also set the minimum spacing between levels in price points and the minimum separation between fractals in bars.

The description offers a way to locate potential support or resistance zones from clustered fractal points, but it does not specify rules for trading those zones or provide quantified evidence of effectiveness. It warns that calculation may take up to half a minute when the calculation window contains more than 200 bars. Although the author characterizes the indicator as promising, no test results, market scope, or risk analysis are supplied, so that claim cannot be evaluated from the document alone.

Key ideas

• The indicator searches for groups of four horizontally nearby fractals and displays their levels.
• Users can set the search-window width and shift, along with minimum spacing between levels and fractals.
• The resulting levels may mark areas of clustered price structure, but no trade rules are provided.
• Calculation can become slow when the search window exceeds 200 bars.
• The document reports no performance tests or evidence supporting its qualitative claim of success.
