Fractal Indicator

[sajjad3245]

Hi guys,
I am working with Fractal Indicator and as we know somehow it's an indecisive indicator, sometimes we have both fractal ups and downs on CID2, and sometimes it repaints.
I want to close Trade when it repaints, but I don't know how to do it.
Can you guys help please?

What do you exactly mean by trading 'when it repaints'? Do you mean closing a trade when a fractal disappears after it was visible maybe?

hi there,
yes exactly

[l'andorrà]

But what's the point of that? The fractal is not confirmed. Are you sure that is an effective strategy?

[sajjad3245]

But in my strategy it opens the trade and then disappears. I just wanna know when it disappears and put it in some variables.
here is exactly what I mean:

as you can see the Down Fractal appears. so it opens a buy trade on CID2, after some ticks it disappears. I wanna close the trade when it disappears.

Fractals work on a 5 candle pattern (or more), some work out profitable, some are minimum win-loss, and some are just a loss. Every trade would have happened 2 candles after the arrow.

it's also mentioned here that fractal repaints sometimes as I stated in a photo example above.

so the question is how to identify or simply close open trades after fractal disappears?

@sajjad3245 Every time a new fractal appears, store the price value into a variable. If current price is moving beyond that price, the fractal will disappear, so here you have what you need.
