Use fractals to close trades

[Lamar]

Hi guys. Hope you all are well. I have a problem. I want to use the fractals to close trades, im busy creating an EA for Boom and Crash. After a spike, i want it to close after n amount of candles. Usually the fractal show at the top and bottom of the spike. The trades should close after the most recent spike, because sometimes the fractals move again if it spikes continuously. Can you guys please help me figure this out?

You can only check a fractal on candle ID 2/3 or greater

@jstap okay thanks for replying. So how should i set it if i want to check if the fractal is still visible after 7 candles? To close trades but it must be the most recent fractal

try this, indicator appears (yellow block) fractal on ID 2 - close (or the action you want) might need to use ID3

Yes as I said try 2 or 3, they will appear on 2, but if the fractal fails it will recalculate and delete, so 3 is the only confirmed fractal candle.
