Support and Resistance Levels From MetaTrader Fractals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This MetaTrader indicator plots support and resistance levels on a price chart using the platform’s standard Fractals indicator, based on Bill Williams’ method. The displayed levels are intended to help traders identify nearby market targets and consider where to place stop-loss or take-profit orders. The document says the indicator is available for MetaTrader 4 and 5 and has no adjustable calculation inputs.

Optional alerts can notify traders when a candle closes above resistance or below support. The alert trigger can use the most recently closed candle or the still-forming candle; popup, email, and push notification options are described. The document explains the indicator’s display and alert controls, but gives no trading rules, validation, or evidence that fractal levels predict reversals or breakouts. Levels should therefore be treated as chart references rather than demonstrated forecasts.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots support and resistance levels derived from MetaTrader’s standard Fractals calculation.
  • The plotted levels can serve as references when considering targets, stop-losses, or take-profits.
  • Alerts can be configured for closes above resistance or below support, with a choice of candle timing.
  • The document gives no performance evidence or validation of the levels as predictive signals.
