Using Multi-Period Fractals on a Single Chart

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document briefly describes a MetaTrader indicator that displays fractals from different time periods on one chart. Its stated purpose is to let users view multi-period fractal signals together, which may help compare price structures across time frames.

The note identifies MetaQuotes Software as the author and says the indicator was first implemented in MQL4 and published in 2007. It provides no explanation of how fractals are calculated, how the indicator distinguishes time periods, or how traders might turn its display into entry, exit, or risk rules. No examples, market tests, or performance evidence are included, so the material is a minimal tool description rather than a strategy assessment.

Key ideas

  • The indicator overlays fractals from multiple time periods on one chart.
  • The stated function is visual comparison of fractal signals across time frames.
  • The document gives implementation history but no trading method or performance evidence.
