📋 Overview

Fractal Arrows are precise swing high and low identification tools that mark significant turning points in price action. RelicusRoad Pro’s implementation features a dual-timeframe system with fast and slow fractals, providing both short-term and long-term swing point analysis for enhanced market structure understanding and trade timing.

Unlike basic fractal indicators, this system uses fast fractals (3-period) for responsive short-term reversals and slow fractals (6-period) for major swing point identification. The arrows are color-coded and sized for visual clarity - red arrows mark swing highs, green arrows mark swing lows, with different sizes indicating fractal timeframe importance.

✨ Key Features

🎯

Dual-Timeframe Detection

Fast fractals (3-period) for short-term swings, slow fractals (6-period) for major turning points

⚡

Visual Arrow System

Color-coded arrows with size differentiation - red for highs, green for lows, larger for slow fractals

🔧

Swing Point Precision

Mathematical pattern recognition that identifies local highs and lows with confirmation delay

📊

Support/Resistance Formation

Fractal points often become future support and resistance levels for trading opportunities

⚙️ How It Works

🔬 The Technology Behind Road Levels

🔍

Fractal Detection Algorithm

Mathematical pattern recognition

└ Fast Fractals (3-period): Responsive to short-term reversals
└ Slow Fractals (6-period): Identify major swing points
└ Confirmation Delay: 3 bars for fast, 6 bars for slow

🔺

Visual Arrow Display

Clear swing point marking

└ Arrow 217: Downward arrows for swing highs
└ Arrow 218: Upward arrows for swing lows
└ Size Coding: Fast (size 1), Slow (size 3)

📊

Swing Point Analysis

Price structure identification

└ Local High Detection: Price highest within period range
└ Local Low Detection: Price lowest within period range
└ Trend Structure: Higher highs, lower lows identification

📊 Visual Representation

🔴

Fast Fractal Highs (Red)

Small red arrows above short-term swing highs - responsive to minor reversals

🟢

Fast Fractal Lows (Green)

Small green arrows below short-term swing lows - quick reaction to support

🔺

Slow Fractal Highs (Red)

Large red arrows above major swing highs - significant resistance levels

🔻

Slow Fractal Lows (Green)

Large green arrows below major swing lows - important support levels

🎯 Trading Modes Explained

Fractal Breakout Trading

Momentum Best for: Traders seeking trend continuation beyond established swing points

✓ Trade breaks above fractal highs or below fractal lows
✓ Volume confirmation on breakouts
✓ Retest entries for higher probability
✓ Former resistance becomes support after break

Fractal Confluence Trading

High Probability Best for: Traders wanting maximum probability setups with multiple fractal alignment

✓ Fast and slow fractals within 5-10 pips
✓ Multiple timeframe fractal alignment
✓ Increased position size justified
✓ Superior risk-reward potential

Fractal Swing Trading

Range/Swing Best for: Swing traders using major fractal levels as trading boundaries

✓ Buy at fractal lows, sell at fractal highs
✓ Range-bound and trending market adaptation
✓ Major swing point targeting
✓ Clear support/resistance framework

Fractal Trend Continuation

Trend Following Best for: Trend traders using fractal pullbacks for continuation entries

✓ Pullback entries at fractal levels
✓ Trend direction confirmation required
✓ Fast fractals for precise timing
✓ Momentum continuation focus

💡 Best Practices

✅

Wait for fractal confirmation - fast (3 bars), slow (6 bars) delay required

✅

Use confluence zones where fast and slow fractals align within 5-10 pips

✅

Combine with volume analysis for breakout confirmation

✅

Apply multi-timeframe fractal analysis for maximum probability setups

✅

Place stops 10-15 pips beyond fractal levels for conservative approach

✅

Trail stops with new fractal formations as market structure evolves

✅

Focus on slow fractals for swing trading, fast fractals for day trading

✅

Look for fractal alignment with other support/resistance levels

✅

Consider fractal age - fresh fractals more relevant than old ones

✅

Use failed fractal breaks as reversal signals in opposite direction

🎛️ Settings & Configuration

Scalping/Day Trading (M5-M15)

Mode: Fast Response

Sensitivity: High Frequency

✓ Focus on fast fractals (3-period) for quick signals

✓ Tighter stops (3-5 pips beyond fractal)

✓ Higher frequency but lower individual reliability

✓ Suitable for active trading during London/NY

Swing Trading (M30-H4)

Mode: Balanced Approach

Sensitivity: Standard

✓ Use both fast and slow fractals for confluence

✓ Standard stops (10-15 pips beyond fractal)

✓ Good balance of frequency and reliability

✓ Best for trend continuation and range trading

Position Trading (H4-D1)

Mode: Major Swings Only

Sensitivity: Low Noise

✓ Focus on slow fractals (6-period) for major levels

✓ Wider stops (15-20 pips) for longer-term holds

✓ Lower frequency but highest reliability

✓ Perfect for major swing point identification

⚡ Quick Setup Guide

Enable both fast (3-period) and slow (6-period) fractals on your chart
Note arrow colors: Red for highs, Green for lows, size indicates importance
Wait for fractal confirmation before trading (3-6 bar delay)
Look for confluence zones where both fractal types align
Start with breakout trading on major pairs during active sessions

🎯 Trading Strategies

Fractal Breakout Trading

Medium

Trade momentum continuation when price breaks beyond established fractal levels

Setup:

Identify established slow fractal high or low
Wait for clean break with volume confirmation
Look for retest of broken fractal as new support/resistance
Enter on successful retest hold in breakout direction
Place stop beyond fractal level with 10-15 pip buffer

Risk:Reward 1:2.4

Fractal Confluence Trading

Advanced

High-probability setups using multiple fractal timeframe alignment

Setup:

Locate where fast and slow fractals align within 5-10 pips
Confirm with multi-timeframe fractal analysis
Wait for price test of confluence zone
Enter on reversal confirmation with volume support
Use increased position size due to high probability

Risk:Reward 1:2.8

Fractal Swing Trading

Easy

Trade between major fractal swing points in ranging or trending markets

Setup:

Identify fractal high (resistance) and fractal low (support)
Determine market bias - trending or ranging
Buy at fractal lows, sell at fractal highs in ranges
In trends, buy fractal lows for continuation
Target opposite fractal level or trail with new fractals

Risk:Reward 1:2.2

Fractal Trend Continuation

Medium

Use fractal pullbacks for trend continuation entries

Setup:

Confirm established trend direction on higher timeframe
Wait for pullback to fast fractal level
Look for rejection/bounce at fractal level
Enter in trend direction on confirmation candle
Trail stops with new favorable fractal formations

Risk:Reward 1:2.1
