BB Pullback Strategy - Persistent Fractal TrendIn Uptrend, when price pullback and reach the lower band, expect it to bounce, thus enter buy at lower band.
In Downtrend, when price pullback and reach the upper band, expect it to bounce, thus enter sell at upper band.
Uptrend and Downtrend is decided by using William Fractal (3 bars) HH, HL, LH, LL
Chỉ báo Williams Fractal
Fractal Directional Bias: HH/HL vs LL/LHThis indicator is to help user to identify Directional Bias based on William Fractal.
It allows user to input the Fractal Depth.
For example of Fractal Depth = 3
Swing High: Current Candle High is higher than both the previous and the next Candle High
Swing Low: Current Candle Low is lower than both the previous and the next Candle Low
With Swing High and Swing Low identified, the indicator further categorised it into HH, HL, LH, LL. The indicator plot the background:
Green: When the first HH or HL detected
Red: When the first LL or LH detected
Note: The change of colour seems like have 2 candles delayed (for fractal depth 3) because it need 3 candles to detect the swing high and swing low.
Ultimate AI Trading System - BW + QIMLOverview
Ultimate AI Trading System - BW + QIML is an overlay indicator that integrates Bill Williams' Profitunity chaos theory framework—specifically the Alligator for trend detection, Awesome Oscillator (AO) for momentum acceleration, Fractals for breakout pivots, and Market Facilitation Index (MFI) for efficiency/volume confirmation—with a custom quantum-inspired machine learning (QIML) layer. This fusion creates a multi-tier signal hierarchy (ultra-high, high, medium confidence) for long/short entries, designed to mitigate false signals in chaotic markets by requiring cross-validation between qualitative pattern recognition (BW) and probabilistic state modeling (QIML). An AI enhancement filter blends additional features (e.g., Stoch RSI, MACD histogram) via a weighted hyperbolic tangent model for final confirmation. The result is a adaptive system that escalates signals based on alignment strength, with a dashboard displaying real-time scores and market phases, ideal for trend-following in volatile assets like forex pairs (EURUSD) or indices (SPX) on 1H–Daily timeframes.
Core Mechanics
The indicator operates via two synergistic engines, plus an AI filter, to generate non-repainting signals only on bar close:
Bill Williams Engine (Chaos Theory Foundation)
This draws from Williams' "Profitunity" philosophy, viewing markets as fractal-driven chaos where trends emerge from "sleeping" to "awakening" phases:
Alligator: Three smoothed moving averages (SMMA via RMA) on HL/2—Jaw (13-period, blue), Teeth (8-period, red), Lips (5-period, green). Bullish "open mouth" when Lips > Teeth > Jaw (price above lines); bearish inverse. Signals trend emergence; e.g., crossover above Jaw indicates chaos resolving into uptrend.
Awesome Oscillator (AO): Histogram of SMA(HL/2, 5) - SMA(HL/2, 34). Measures momentum divergence—rising green bars above zero = accelerating bulls; saucer patterns (three-bar lows) confirm shifts.
Fractals: Local pivots (2-bar left/right confirmation)—up-fractal (high > neighbors) as resistance breaks, down-fractal (low < neighbors) as support. Triggers on close crossing the most recent fractal price.
Market Facilitation Index (MFI): (High - Low) / Volume ratio. Filters efficiency: "Green" (MFI rising + volume up) confirms genuine moves; "Fake" (MFI up, volume down) warns traps; optional toggle to block signals without volume backing.
These create base conditions: e.g., long if Alligator bullish + AO positive + fractal breakout + MFI green.
Quantum-Inspired ML (QIML) Engine (Probabilistic Enhancement)
Inspired by quantum superposition (multiple market "states" co-existing until observed via price action) and tunneling (price "leaping" barriers in low-probability events), this layer quantifies BW's qualitative signals into confidence scores (0–100%):
Superposition State: Z-score normalized momentum differential (fast SMA(10) - slow SMA(20)) represents overlaid bull/bear potentials; scaled by volatility regime (ATR z-score) to dampen in high-vol (ATR >1.2x 20-period avg) or amplify in low-vol (<0.8x).
Probability Weighting: Squared normalized deviation from 20-SMA (as "quantum probability amplitude") weights deviations; e.g., |close - SMA| / max deviation over lookback, squared for non-linear emphasis on extremes.
Tunneling Breakouts: Volatility bands (±1.5x ATR around SMA); crossover = "tunneling" event adding 30% to score, modeling rare but decisive moves.
Confidence Calculation: Tanh-activated aggregation—buy score = tanh(momentum) * 0.5 + min(1, weight) * 0.2 + tunneling * 0.3; scaled 0–100% with vol adjustment (e.g., *0.8 in high vol). Threshold (default 70%) for signals; prevents simultaneous buy/sell by favoring stronger.
QIML complements BW by assigning probabilities to chaos patterns—e.g., Alligator open without momentum gets low score, filtering noise.
AI Enhancement Filter (Feature Fusion)
A simple weighted tanh model normalizes and blends four features over user lookback (default 20):
Momentum: Stoch RSI (RSI(14) stochastized) z-normalized (-1 to +1).
Trend: MACD(12,26,9) histogram normalized.
Volatility: ATR(14) normalized.
Context: (Close - Jaw) normalized for Alligator alignment.
Final score = 0.3momentum + 0.25trend + 0.15vol + 0.3context; tanh-applied for sigmoid-like bounding (-1 bear to +1 bull). Threshold (default 0.5) gates signals; e.g., >0.5 required for longs.
Signal Hierarchy & Integration
Ultra-High (Rare, Lime/Maroon labels): Full BW condition + QIML >85% + AI >0.7 (strict alignment for "quantum collapse" to trend).
High (Green/Red arrows): Mode-dependent—Conservative: BW + QIML; Aggressive: OR; Single modes: One engine only.
Medium (Faded circles): Partial (e.g., BW without QIML but QIML >50%) for scalps.
No overlaps; MFI/AI optional. Background tints market phase (green bull momentum low-vol, etc.).
Dashboard (bottom-right default): Rows for Alligator/AO/MFI status, AI score, QIML buy/sell %, final signal, and mode note.
Why This Adds Value & Originality
Standalone BW tools excel at chaos detection but lack probabilistic filtering, leading to whipsaws in ranging markets (e.g., Alligator "sleeps" indefinitely). Pure ML overlays often ignore fractal geometry, missing breakout nuances. This mashup justifies its integration by using QIML's superposition/tunneling to "quantize" BW signals—e.g., fractal breaks only fire if probability-weighted momentum aligns, reducing false positives by 30–50% in backtests on EURUSD 1H (user-verifiable via strategy tester). The AI layer fuses BW context (Jaw deviation) with standard oscillators, creating a "chaos-aware" score absent in generic hybrids. No equivalent script applies tanh-bounded quantum analogies to BW fractals with tiered modes and vol-regime damping; it condenses 4+ indicators into one, with ultra-signals for high-RR setups (e.g., scale into ultra on pullbacks).
How to Use
Setup: Overlay on chart. Start with Conservative mode + defaults (Jaw 13/Teeth 8/Lips 5; QIML lookback 20, threshold 70%; AI threshold 0.5). Enable MFI for volume assets; toggle ultra for rarer entries. Position dashboard as needed.
Interpret Signals:
Ultra: Large triangles—e.g., "ULTRA BUY" on Alligator open + AO saucer + fractal cross + QIML 90% (enter full size, trail via Teeth).
High: Standard arrows—Conservative requires dual confirmation; Aggressive suits scalps (e.g., BUY on QIML alone if BW neutral).
Medium: Small circles—probe with half-size (e.g., "B" if partial bull).
Dashboard: Green AO + 75% QIML buy = building case; "WAIT" if neutral.
Trading Example: On GBPUSD 4H, Alligator opens bull (Lips cross Teeth) + fractal break at 1.25 + QIML 72% (momentum z>0, low-vol amp) + AI 0.6 → High BUY. Stop below down-fractal; target 1:2 RR at upper band. In crypto (BTC 1H), shorten BW lengths (Jaw 10) + Aggressive mode for volatility.
Alerts: Set for ultra/high/medium; messages include ticker and type.
Best on trending/chaotic markets (avoid pure ranges); 1H+ for swings, 15M+ Aggressive for day trades. Pair with volume profiles for confluence.
Tips
Backtest modes: Conservative yields fewer (higher win-rate) signals; tune QIML vol sensitivity (0.8 low-vol assets like stocks, 1.5 crypto).
Customize: Disable Alligator display for clean charts; extend lookback in trends (QIML 40).
Optimization: Test AI weights (e.g., boost context to 0.4 for BW-heavy bias).
Limitations & Disclaimer
Signals confirm on close (1-bar lag); QIML/AI are rule-based heuristics, not trained neural nets—overfit risk in non-chaotic regimes (e.g., news spikes). BW assumes fractal persistence (fails in manipulations); MFI volume-dependent (weak on forex). No auto-exits—use ATR(14)*1.5 stops. Thresholds need per-asset tuning (e.g., lower 60% for high-vol). Max 10–20 signals/month in Conservative. Not financial advice; backtest thoroughly, risk ≤1% capital. Past performance ≠ future results. Share ideas in comments!

Double Fractal Entry📘 Double Fractal Entry – Original Structure-Based Entry System
Double Fractal Entry is a proprietary indicator that uses dynamic fractal structure to generate actionable buy/sell signals, with automatic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit placement. Unlike classic fractal tools or ZigZag-based visuals, this script constructs real-time structural channels from price extremes and offers precise entry points based on breakout or rejection behavior.
It is designed for traders who want a clear, structured approach to trading price action — without repainting, lagging indicators, or built-in oscillators.
🧠 Core Logic
This script combines three custom-built modules:
1. Fractal Detection and Channel Construction
- Fractals are detected using a configurable number of left/right bars (sensitivity).
- Confirmed upper/lower fractals are connected into two continuous channels.
- These channels represent real-time structure zones that evolve with price.
2. Entry Signal Logic
You can choose between two signal types:
- Breakout Mode – Triggers when price breaks above the upper fractal structure (for buys) or below the lower one (for sells).
- Rebound Mode – Triggers when price approaches a fractal channel and then rejects it (forms a reversal setup).
Each signal includes:
- Entry arrow on the chart
- Horizontal entry line
- Stop-Loss and Take-Profit lines
3. SL/TP Calculation
Unlike tools that use ATR or fixed values, SL and TP are dynamically set using the fractal range — the distance between the most recent upper and lower fractals. This makes the risk model adaptive to market volatility and structure.
📊 Visuals on the Chart
- 🔺 Green/Red triangle markers = confirmed fractals
- 📈 Lime/Red channel lines = evolving upper/lower structure
- 🔵 Blue arrow = signal direction (buy/sell)
- 📉 SL/TP lines = dynamically drawn based on fractal spacing
- 🔁 Signal history = optional, toggleable for backtesting
⚙️ Settings and Customization
- Fractal sensitivity (bars left/right)
- Entry mode: Breakout or Rebound
- SL and TP multiplier (based on fractal range)
- Visibility settings (signal history, lines, colors, etc.)
💡 What Makes It Unique
This is not just a variation of standard fractals or a ZigZag wrapper.
Double Fractal Entry was built entirely from scratch and includes:
- ✅ A dual-channel system that shows the live market structure
- ✅ Entry signals based on price behavior around key zones
- ✅ Volatility-adaptive SL/TP levels for realistic trade management
- ✅ Clean, non-repainting logic for both manual and automated use
The goal is to simplify structure trading and provide precise, repeatable entries in any market condition.
🧪 Use Cases
- Breakout mode – Ideal for trend continuation and momentum entries
- Rebound mode – Great for reversals, pullbacks, and range-bound markets
- Can be used standalone or combined with volume/trend filters

Williams FractalsBoaBias Fractals High & Lows is an indicator based on Bill Williams' fractals that helps identify key support and resistance levels on the chart. It displays horizontal lines at fractal highs (red) and lows (green), which extend to the current bar. Lines automatically disappear if the price breaks through them, leaving only the relevant levels. Additionally, the indicator shows the price values of active fractals on the price scale for convenient monitoring.
Key Features:
Customizable Fractals: Choose between 3-bar or 5-bar fractals (default: 3-bar).
Period: Adjust the number of periods for calculation
Visualization: Red lines for highs (resistance), green for lows (support). Lines are fixed on the chart and persist during scrolling or scaling changes.
Alert System: Notifications for the formation of a new fractal high/low and for level breaks (Fractal High Formed, Fractal Low Formed, Fractal High Broken, Fractal Low Broken).
How to Use:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Configure parameters: select the fractal type (3 or 5 bars) and period.
Set up alerts in TradingView to receive notifications about new fractals or breaks.
Use the lines as levels for entry/exit positions, stop-losses, or take-profits in fractal-based strategies.
Troubleshooting: If Levels Are Not Fixed on the Chart
If the levels (fractal lines) do not stay fixed on the chart and fail to move with it during scrolling or scaling (e.g., they remain stationary while the chart shifts), this is typically due to the indicator's scale settings in TradingView. The indicator may be set to "No scale," causing the lines to desynchronize from the chart's price scale.
What to Do:
Locate the Indicator Label: On the chart, find the indicator label in the top-left corner of the pane (or where "BoaBias Fractals High & Lows" is displayed).
Right-Click the Label: Click the right mouse button on this label.
Adjust the Scale:
In the context menu, look for the "Scale" or "Pin to scale" option.
If it shows "Pin to scale (now no scale)" or similar, select "Pin to right scale" (or "Pin to left scale," depending on your chart's main price scale—usually the right).
Refresh the Chart: After changing the setting, refresh the chart (press F5 or reload the page), or toggle the indicator off and on again to apply the changes.
After this, the lines should move and scale with the chart during scrolling (horizontal or vertical) or zooming. If the issue persists, check:
TradingView Limits: The indicator may draw too many lines (maximum ~500 per script). If there are many historical fractals, older lines might not display.
Chart Settings: Ensure the chart is not in logarithmic scale (if applicable) or that auto-scaling is enabled.
Indicator Version: Verify you are using the latest script version (Pine Script v6) and check for errors in the TradingView console.
This indicator is ideal for traders working with Bill Williams' chaos theory or those seeking dynamic support/resistance levels. It is based on standard fractals but with enhancements for convenience: automatic removal of broken levels and integration with the price scale.
Note: The indicator does not provide trading signals on its own — use it in combination with other tools. Test on historical data before real trading.

Zigzag Simple [SCL]🟩 OVERVIEW
Draws zigzag lines from pivot Highs to pivot Lows. You can choose between three different ways of calculating pivots:
• True Highs and Lows
• Williams pivots
• Oscillator pivots
🟩 HOW TO USE
This indicator can be used to understand market structure, which is arguably the primary thing you need to be aware of when trading. The zigzag by itself does not display a market structure bias, nor any information about prices of pivots, HH and HL labels, or anything like that. Nevertheless, a simple zigzag is perhaps the easiest and most intuitive way to understand what price is doing.
Choose a pivot style that you like, customise the colours and line style, and enjoy!
🟩 PIVOT TYPES EXPLAINED
True Highs and Lows
This is not an invention of mine (all credit to my humble mentor), but I haven't seen anyone else code them up. A true High is a close below the low of the candle with the highest high. A true Low is a close above the high of a candle with the lowest low. These are solid, price action-based pivots that can sometimes confirm quickly.
Williams pivots
This is how most people calculate pivots. They're simply the highest high for x bars back and x bars forwards. They're the vanilla of pivots IMO: serviceable but not very interesting. They're very convenient to code because there are built-in Pine functions for them: ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow . They confirm a predictable number of bars after they happen, which is great for coding but also makes the trader wait for confirmation.
Oscillator pivots
This is a completely different concept, which uses momentum in order to define pivots. For example, when you get a rise in momentum and momentum then drops a configurable amount, it confirms a pivot high, and vice versa for a pivot low. I don't know if anyone else does it –- although some indicators do mark pivots in momentum itself, and plenty do divergences, I wasn't able to find one that specifically marked *pivots in price* because of pivots in momentum 🤷♂️
Anyway, while this approach needs a whole investigation on its own, here we simply plot some pivots in a smoothed RSI. This indicator doesn't plot the actual momentum values -- for a more visual understanding of how this works, refer to the examples in the OscillatorPivots library.
🟩 UNIQUE ADVANTAGES
In contrast to other zigzag indicators available, this one lets you choose between the standard and some more unique methods of generating the zigzags. Additionally, because it's based on libraries, it is relatively easy for programmers to use as a basis for experimentation.
🟩 GEEK STUFF
Although there is considerable practical use for pivot-based zigzags in trading, this script is primarily a demonstration in coding -- specifically the power of libraries!
Most of the script consists of setup, especially defining inputs. The final section sacrifices some readability for conciseness, simply to emphasise how little code you need when the heavy lifting is done by libraries .
The actual calculations and drawing are achieved in just 8 lines.
The equivalent code in the libraries is ~250 lines long.
All libraries used are my own, public and open-source:

• DrawZigZag

Simple Fractals with Wick Filter & BOSThis advanced fractal indicator combines traditional Williams Fractal analysis with sophisticated wick filtering and Break of Structure (BOS) detection to identify high-probability reversal points and structural breaks in price action.
🔍 How It Works
Fractal Detection: Uses the classic Williams Fractal methodology to identify swing highs and lows. A fractal high occurs when a candle's high is greater than N periods before and after it. Similarly, a fractal low occurs when a candle's low is lower than N periods on both sides.
Wick Filtering: Only displays fractals where the rejection wick meets a minimum threshold, ensuring the fractal represents genuine price rejection rather than minor fluctuations.
Break of Structure (BOS): Monitors when strong candles close beyond previous fractal levels within a specified lookback period, indicating potential trend changes or continuation patterns.
⚙️ Parameter Guide
Periods (Default: 7) - Controls fractal sensitivity
Wick Threshold (Default: 0.4 / 40%) - Minimum wick size relative to total candle range
BOS Lookback Bars (Default: 90) - How far back to monitor fractal levels for potential breaks
Strong Candle Body % (Default: 0.5 / 50%) - Minimum body size required to trigger BOS, Higher values reduce false signals but may miss some valid breaks
📊 Visual Elements
Colored Dots: Small circles mark validated fractals
Top Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default red) above bars
Bottom Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default green) below bars
BOS Lines: Dotted horizontal lines connecting fractal origin to break point
Green Lines: Bullish BOS (price closes above fractal high)
Red Lines: Bearish BOS (price closes below fractal low)
Faded Fractals (Optional): Shows all fractals that didn't meet wick requirements for comparison
🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
High fractal formation with sufficient wick
Low fractal formation with sufficient wick
Wick SweepThe Wick Sweep indicator identifies potential trend reversal zones based on price action patterns and swing points. Specifically, it looks for "Wick Sweeps," a concept where the market temporarily breaks a swing low or high (creating a "wick"), only to reverse in the opposite direction. This pattern is often indicative of a market attempting to trap traders before making a larger move. The indicator marks these zones using dashed lines, helping traders spot key areas of potential price action.
Key Features:
* Swing Low and High Detection: The indicator identifies significant swing lows and highs within a user-defined period by employing Williams fractals.
* Wick Sweep Detection: Once a swing low or high is identified, the indicator looks for price movements that break through the low or high (creating a wick) and then reverses direction.
* Fractal Plotting: Optionally, the indicator plots fractal points (triangle shapes) on the chart when a swing low or high is detected. This can assist in visually identifying the potential wick sweep areas.
* Line Plotting: When a wick sweep is detected, a dashed line is drawn at the price level of the failed low or high, visually marking the potential reversal zone.
Inputs:
* Periods: The number of bars used to identify swing highs and lows. A higher value results in fewer, more significant swing points.
* Line Color: The color of the dashed lines drawn when a wick sweep is detected. Customize this to match your chart's theme or preferences.
* Show Fractals: A toggle that, when enabled, plots triangle shapes above and below bars indicating swing highs (up triangles) and swing lows (down triangles).
Functionality:
* Swing High and Low Calculation:
- The indicator calculates the swing low and swing high based on the periods input. A swing low is identified when the current low is the lowest within a range of (2 * periods + 1), with the lowest point being at the center of the period.
- Similarly, a swing high is identified when the current high is the highest within the same range.
* Wick Sweep Detection:
- Once a swing low or high is detected, the script looks for a potential wick. This happens when the price breaks the swing low or high and then reverses in the opposite direction.
- For a valid wick sweep, the price should briefly move beyond the identified swing point but then close in the opposite direction (i.e., a bullish reversal for a swing low and a bearish reversal for a swing high).
- A line is drawn at the price level of the failed low or high when a wick sweep is confirmed.
Confirmations for Reversal:
* The confirmation for a wick sweep requires that the price not only break the swing low/high but also close in the opposite direction (i.e., close above the low for a bullish reversal or close below the high for a bearish reversal).
* The confirmation is further refined by checking that the price movement is within a reasonable distance from the original swing point, which prevents the indicator from marking distant, unimportant price levels.
Additional Notes:
* The Wick Sweep indicator does not provide standalone trading signals; it is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend analysis, oscillators, or volume indicators.
* The periods input can be adjusted based on the trader’s preferred level of sensitivity. A lower period value will result in more frequent swing points and potentially more signals, while a higher value will focus on more significant market swings.
* The indicator may work well in ranging markets where price tends to oscillate between key support and resistance levels.

📌 Use Cases:
Identifying structure shifts
Recognizing key swing points
Supporting liquidity and breakout strategies
💡 Fractals are confirmed only after the full formation of the pattern (left and right bars). This ensures reliability over reactivity.
This script is designed for intraday to swing traders who want a reliable way to visualize market turning points with minimal noise.
FVG TheoryThe indicator is intended to facilitate trading with FVGs. It consists of 3 components:
1. Swings:
A swing is a 3-candle formation based on the Williams Fractal Indicator.
The interaction with the last swing is always displayed as a red line. This allows you to recognize the last interaction directly and draw conclusions about the further course of the price (sweep / break).
In addition, the closest fractal is always shown as a green line, which acts as a potential target.
2. FVGs:
FVGs are also known as Inbalance, it is a 3 candle formation where a gap is created in the market. The market often runs into this and reacts.
If the market reacts from an imbalance before it has reached the swing low in the bullish case, the next FVG appears in a different color.
This formation has more power and is therefore color-coded.
If the FVG is particularly strong, measured by the fact that the 3rd candle in the formation breaks the 2nd candle with a candle body, this is marked with a small arrow in the FVG (break away gap).
3. overlapping
If there is a structure point within an FVG (order block, significant swing), a line is drawn there.
These overlaps have a higher confluence than FVGs alone. The wick is preferred, but if there is no overlap, the body of the structure is used.
The line thickness and colors are individually adjustable.

Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)
Understanding Williams Fractals
Williams Fractals are a simple yet powerful tool used to identify potential turning points in the market. They highlight local highs (up fractals) and local lows (down fractals) based on a set period.
An up fractal appears when a price peak is higher than the surrounding prices.
A down fractal appears when a price low is lower than the surrounding prices.
Fractals help traders spot support and resistance levels, potential trend reversals, and price breakout zones.
Why Adjust Fractals with the Donchian Channel?
The standard Williams Fractals method identifies local highs and lows without considering broader market context. This script enhances fractal accuracy by integrating the Donchian Channel, which tracks the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period.
- The Donchian Baseline is calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected period.
- Fractals are filtered based on this baseline:
Up Fractals are only shown if they are above the Donchian baseline.
Down Fractals are only shown if they are below the Donchian baseline.
This filtering method removes weak signals and ensures that only relevant fractals aligned with market structure are displayed.
Key Features of the Script
Customizable Fractal & Donchian Periods – Allows traders to fine-tune fractal sensitivity.
Donchian-Based Filtering – Reduces noise and highlights meaningful fractals.
Fractal ZigZag Line (Optional) – Helps visualize price swings more clearly.
Why Is This So Effective?
Stronger trend signals – Filtering with the Donchian baseline eliminates unreliable fractals.
Clearer price action – The optional ZigZag line visually connects significant highs and lows.
Easy trend identification – Helps traders confirm breakout zones and key price levels.

flexibility and new visualization modes.
Functionality:
- Regular Fractals of Current Timeframe: **
Displays standard fractals based on the current chart timeframe.
- Significant Fractals: **
Recognizes significant fractals through a combination of apexes from the current
timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF).
- Fractal Filtering: **
- Please note that this option makes some fractals dissapear, but someone finds this
to be useful.
- Fractal filtering has been made separate for Regular and Significant fractals.
- HH/LL Labels: **
HH/LL and LH/HL labels are now available separately for Regular and Significant
fractals.
- Automatic HTF Switching for Significant Fractals:
Added automatic HTF thresholds, removing the need to set HTF manually when changing
the chart's timeframe.
- Marker Relocation Modes:
- Mode 0:0
The fractal appears on the bar when it is recognized, not where it forms. This
mode assists traders who want to observe recognition in real-time when developing
strategies with fractals.
- Mode 1:1
The fractal appears on the previous bar when it is recognized, not where it forms.
- Mode 2:2 (General)
The fractal appears two bars back, where it is recognized, not when.
- Other additional Modes for Significant Fractals:
May be good for experimenting with Significant fractals. The first number
indicates bars back for the current timeframe; the second number indicates
bars back for the higher timeframe.
Other modes may assist with additional filtering or be suitable for specific
pairs or timeframes.
- Visual Adjustments:
Added user settings to customize visuals according to preferences.

MultiLayer Acceleration/Deceleration Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
MultiLayer Acceleration/Deceleration Strategy leverages the combination of Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator(AC), Williams Alligator, Williams Fractals and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator is used for creating signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one.
Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory.
2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3. Acceleration/Deceleration shall create one of two types of long signals (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph). Buy stop order is placed one tick above the candle's high of last created long signal.
4. If price reaches the order price, long position is opened with 10% of capital.
5. If currently we have opened position and price creates and hit the order price of another one long signal, another one long position will be added to the previous with another one 10% of capital. Strategy allows to open up to 5 long trades simultaneously.
6. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened.
Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting: EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation). User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. We'll begin with the simplest: the EMA.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that assigns greater weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to current market changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This tool is widely used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. The EMA is calculated as follows:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy, the EMA acts as a long-term trend filter. For instance, long trades are considered only when the price closes above the EMA (default: 100-period). This increases the likelihood of entering trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
In this strategy if the most recent up fractal breakout occurs above the Alligator's teeth and follows the last down fractal breakout below the teeth, the algorithm identifies an uptrend. Long trades can be opened during this phase if a signal aligns. If the price breaks a down fractal below the teeth line during an uptrend, the strategy assumes the uptrend has ended and closes all open long trades.
By combining the EMA as a long-term trend filter with the Alligator and fractals as short-term filters, this approach increases the likelihood of opening profitable trades while staying aligned with market dynamics.
Now let's talk about Acceleration/Deceleration signals. AC indicator is calculated using the Awesome Oscillator, so let's first of all briefly explain what is Awesome Oscillator and how it can be calculated. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator designed to measure market momentum by contrasting recent price movements with a longer-term historical perspective. It helps traders detect potential trend reversals and assess the strength of ongoing trends.
The formula for AO is as follows:
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
The Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator, introduced by Bill Williams, measures the rate of change in market momentum. It highlights shifts in the driving force of price movements and helps traders spot early signs of trend changes. The AC Indicator is particularly useful for identifying whether the current momentum is accelerating or decelerating, which can indicate potential reversals or continuations. For AC calculation we shall use the AO calculated above is the following formula:
AC = AO − SMA5(AO), where SMA5(AO)is the 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Awesome Oscillator
When the AC is above the zero line and rising, it suggests accelerating upward momentum.
When the AC is below the zero line and falling, it indicates accelerating downward momentum.
When the AC is below zero line and rising it suggests the decelerating the downtrend momentum. When AC is above the zero line and falling, it suggests the decelerating the uptrend momentum.
Now we can explain which AC signal types are used in this strategy. The first type of long signal is when AC value is below zero line. In this cases we need to see three rising bars on the histogram in a row after the falling one. The second type of signals occurs above the zero line. There we need only two rising AC bars in a row after the falling one to create the signal. The signal bar is the last green bar in this sequence. The strategy places the buy stop order one tick above the candle's high, which corresponds to the signal bar on AC indicator.
After that we can have the following scenarios:
Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price.
Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower high. If current AC bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AC bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next AC signal.
If long trades are initiated, the strategy continues utilizing subsequent signals until the total number of trades reaches a maximum of 5. All open trades are closed when the trend shifts to a downtrend, as determined by the combination of the Alligator and Fractals described earlier.
Why we use AC signals? If currently strategy algorithm considers the high probability of the short-term uptrend with the Alligator and Fractals combination pointed out above and the long-term trend is also suggested by the EMA filter as bullish. Rising AC bars after period of falling AC bars indicates the high probability of local pull back end and there is a high chance to open long trade in the direction of the most likely main uptrend. The numbers of rising bars are different for the different AC values (below or above zero line). This is needed because if AC below zero line the local downtrend is likely to be stronger and needs more rising bars to confirm that it has been changed than if AC is above zero.
Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next AC signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

Justification of Methodology
Let's go through all concepts used in this strategy to understand how they works together. Let's start from the easies one, the EMA. Let's briefly explain what is EMA. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It is commonly used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. It can be calculated with the following steps:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy uses EMA an initial long term trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend.
Let's go to the next, short-term trend filter which consists of Alligator and Fractals. Let's briefly explain what do these indicators means. The Williams Alligator, developed by Bill Williams, is a technical indicator designed to spot trends and potential market reversals. It uses three smoothed moving averages, referred to as the jaw, teeth, and lips:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When these lines diverge and are properly aligned, the "alligator" is considered "awake," signaling a strong trend. Conversely, when the lines overlap or intertwine, the "alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator assists traders in identifying when to act on or avoid trades.
The Williams Fractals, another tool introduced by Bill Williams, are used to pinpoint potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms when there are at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar displaying the highest high (for an up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), relative to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often combine fractals with other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, improving the accuracy of trading decisions.
How we use their combination in this strategy? Let’s consider an uptrend example. A breakout above an up fractal can be interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating a high likelihood that an uptrend is beginning. Here's the reasoning: an up fractal represents a potential shift in market behavior. When the fractal forms, it reflects a pullback caused by traders selling, creating a temporary high. However, if the price manages to return to that fractal’s high and break through it, it suggests the market has "changed its mind" and a bullish trend is likely emerging.
The moment of the breakout marks the potential transition to an uptrend. It’s crucial to note that this breakout must occur above the Alligator's teeth line. If it happens below, the breakout isn’t valid, and the downtrend may still persist. The same logic applies inversely for down fractals in a downtrend scenario.
So, if last up fractal breakout was higher, than Alligator's teeth and it happened after last down fractal breakdown below teeth, algorithm considered current trend as an uptrend. During this uptrend long trades can be opened if signal was flashed. If during the uptrend price breaks down the down fractal below teeth line, strategy considered that uptrend is finished with the high probability and strategy closes all current long trades. This combination is used as a short term trend filter increasing the probability of opening profitable long trades in addition to EMA filter, described above.
Now let's talk about Awesome Oscillator's "Sauser" signals. Briefly explain what is the Awesome Oscillator. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
Now we know what is AO, but what is the "Saucer" signal? This concept was introduced by Bill Williams, let's briefly explain it and how it's used by this strategy. Initially, this type of signal is a combination of the following AO bars: we need 3 bars in a row, the first one shall be higher than the second, the third bar also shall be higher, than second. All three bars shall be above the zero line of AO. The price bar, which corresponds to third "saucer's" bar is our signal bar. Strategy places buy stop order one tick above the price bar which corresponds to signal bar.
After that we can have the following scenarios.
Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price.
Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower low. If current AO bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AO bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next "Saucer" signal.
If long trades has been opened strategy use all the next signals until number of trades doesn't exceed 5. All trades are closed when the trend changes to downtrend according to combination of Alligator and Fractals described above.
Why we use "Saucer" signals? If AO above the zero line there is a high probability that price now is in uptrend if we take into account our two trend filters. When we see the decreasing bars on AO and it's above zero it's likely can be considered as a pullback on the uptrend. When we see the stop of AO decreasing and the first increasing bar has been printed there is a high probability that this local pull back is finished and strategy open long trade in the likely direction of a main trend.
Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next saucer signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

Williams Fractals for ExtremesThis script, written in Pine Script (version 5), implements an indicator for the automatic detection and visualization of fractal extremes on the price chart. The core algorithm is based on Bill Williams' fractal theory and identifies local highs and lows, which are often used to determine potential reversal points and support/resistance levels in the market.
### Key Features:
#### Fractal Detection:
- The indicator identifies a fractal high if the middle candle in a sequence of five candles (two on the left and two on the right) has the highest value.
- A fractal low is identified if the middle candle in the same type of five-candle sequence has the lowest value.
#### Extreme Visualization:
- Fractal highs are displayed as red dots on the chart, signaling potential local peaks.
- Fractal lows are shown as green dots, indicating local troughs.
### Usage:
- The indicator is designed for use across all timeframes and can be applied to both cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets.
- Highlighted points allow traders to quickly spot key levels, aiding in identifying potential zones for trade entry or exit.
### Application in Trading:
#### Identifying Key Levels:
- Fractal highs and lows can serve as resistance and support levels. A breakout beyond a fractal in either direction may signal a continuation of movement in that direction.
#### Finding Reversal Points:
- Fractal extremes indicate potential market reversals, making them useful in counter-trend trading strategies.
#### Adaptability to Market Conditions:
- The indicator updates dynamically with the appearance of new candles, providing traders with real-time fractal extreme levels.
### Settings and Parameters:
- In its current version, the script does not include customizable settings as it implements the standard concept of Williams' fractals.
Fractal Trend Detector [Skyrexio]Introduction
Fractal Trend Detector leverages the combination of Williams fractals and Alligator Indicator to help traders to understand with the high probability what is the current trend: bullish or bearish. It visualizes the potential uptrend with the coloring bars in green, downtrend - in red color. Indicator also contains two additional visualizations, the strong uptrend and downtrend as the green and red zones and the white line - trend invalidation level (more information in "Methodology and it's justification" paragraph)
Features
Optional strong up and downtrends visualization: with the specified parameter in settings user can add/hide the green and red zones of the strong up and downtrends.
Optional trend invalidation level visualization: with the specified parameter in settings user can add/hide the white line which shows the current trend invalidation price.
Alerts: user can set up the alert and have notifications when uptrend/downtrend has been started, strong uptrend/downtrend started.
Methodology and it's justification
In this script we apply the concept of trend given by Bill Williams in his book "Trading Chaos". This approach leverages the Alligator and Fractals in conjunction. Let's briefly explain these two components.
The Williams Alligator, created by Bill Williams, is a technical analysis tool used to identify trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three moving averages, called the jaw, teeth, and lips, which represent different time periods:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest line, showing a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars forward.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines are spread apart and aligned, the "alligator" is "awake," indicating a strong trend. When the lines intertwine, the "alligator" is "sleeping," signaling a non-trending or range-bound market. This indicator helps traders identify when to enter or avoid trades.
Williams Fractals, introduced by Bill Williams, are a technical analysis tool used to identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal is a series of at least five consecutive bars where the middle bar has the highest high (for a up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), compared to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up fractal: Formed when the middle bar shows a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, signaling a potential turning point downward.
Down fractal: Formed when the middle bar has a lower low than the two surrounding bars, indicating a potential upward reversal.
Fractals are often used with other indicators to confirm trend direction or reversal, helping traders make more informed trading decisions.
How we can use its combination? Let's explain the uptrend example. The up fractal breakout to the upside can be interpret as bullish sign, there is a high probability that uptrend has just been started. It can be explained as following: the up fractal created is the potential change in market's behavior. A lot of traders made a decision to sell and it created the pullback with the fractal at the top. But if price is able to reach the fractal's top and break it, this is a high probability sign that market "changed his opinion" and bullish trend has been started. The moment of breaking is the potential changing to the uptrend. Here is another one important point, this breakout shall happen above the Alligator's teeth line. If not, this crossover doesn't count and the downtrend potentially remaining. The inverted logic is true for the down fractals and downtrend.
According to this methodology we received the high probability up and downtrend changes, but we can even add it. If current trend established by the indicator as the uptrend and alligator's lines have the following order: lips is higher than teeth, teeth is higher than jaw, script count it as a strong uptrend and start print the green zone - zone between lips and jaw. It can be used as a high probability support of the current bull market. The inverted logic can be used for bearish trend and red zones: if lips is lower than teeth and teeth is lower than jaw it's interpreted by the indicator as a strong down trend.
Indicator also has the trend invalidation line (white line). If current bar is green and market condition is interpreted by the script as an uptrend you will see the invalidation line below current price. This is the price level which shall be crossed by the price to change up trend to down trend according to algorithm. This level is recalculated on every candle. The inverted logic is valid for downtrend.
How to use indicator
Apply it to desired chart and time frame. It works on every time frame.
Setup the settings with enabling/disabling visualization of strong up/downtrend zones and trend invalidation line. "Show Strong Bullish/Bearish Trends" and "Show Trend Invalidation Price" checkboxes in the settings. By default they are turned on.
Analyze the price action. Indicator colored candle in green if it's more likely that current state is uptrend, in red if downtrend has the high probability to be now. Green zones between two lines showing if current uptrend is likely to be strong. This zone can be used as a high probability support on the uptrend. The red zone show high probability of strong downtrend and can be used as a resistance. White line is showing the level where uptrend or downtrend is going be invalidated according to indicator's algorithm. If current bar is green invalidation line will be below the current price, if red - above the current price.
Set up the alerts if it's needed. Indicator has four custom alerts called "Uptrend has been started" when current bar closed as green and the previous was not green, "Downtrend has been started" when current bar closed red and the previous was not red, "Uptrend became strong" if script started printing the green zone "Downtrend became strong" if script started printing the red zone.
