Ichimoku Fractal Flow### Ichimoku Fractal Flow (IFF)
By Gurjit Singh
Ichimoku Fractal Flow (IFF) distills the Ichimoku system into a single oscillator by merging fractal echoes of price and cloud dynamics into one flow signal. Instead of static Ichimoku lines, it measures the "flow" between Conversion/Base, Span A/B, price echoes, and cloud echoes. The result is a multidimensional oscillator that reveals hidden rhythm, momentum shifts, and trend bias.
#### 📌 Key Features
1. Fourfold Fusion – The oscillator blends:
* Phase: Tenkan vs. Kijun spread (short vs. medium trend).
* Kumo Phase: Span A vs. Span B spread (cloud thickness).
* Echo: Price vs lagged reflection.
* Cloud Echo: Price vs. projected cloud center.
2. Oscillator Output – A unified flow line oscillating around zero.
3. Dual Calculation Modes – Oscillator can be built using:
* High-Low Midpoint (classic Ichimoku-style averaging).
* Wilder’s RMA (smoother, less noisy averaging averaging).
4. Optional Smoothing – EMA or Wilder’s RMA creates a trend line, enabling MACD-style crossovers.
5. Dynamic Coloring – Bullish/Bearish color shifts for quick bias recognition.
6. Fill Styling – Highlighted regions between oscillator & smoothing line.
7. Zero Line Reference – Acts as a structural pivot (bull vs. bear).
#### 🔑 How to Use
1. Add to Chart: Works across all assets and timeframes.
2. Flow Bias (Zero Line):
* Above 0 → Bullish flow 🐂
* Below 0 → Bearish flow 🐻
3. With Signal Line:
* Oscillator above smoothing line → Possible upward trend shift.
* Oscillator below smoothing line → Possible downward trend shift.
4. Strength:
* Wide separation from smoothing = strong trend.
* Flat, tight clustering = indecision/range.
5. Contextual Edge: Combine signals with Ichimoku Cloud analysis for stronger confluence.
#### ⚙️ Inputs & Options
* Conversion Line (Tenkan, default 9)
* Base Line (Kijun, default 26)
* Leading Span B (default 52)
* Lag/Lead Shift (default 26)
* Oscillator Mode: High-Low Midpoint vs Wilder’s RMA
* Use Smoothing (toggle on/off)
* Signal Smoothing: Wilder/EMA option
* Smoothing Length (default 9)
* Bullish/Bearish Colors + Transparency
#### 💡 Tips
* Wilder’s RMA (both oscillator & smoothing) is gentler, reducing whipsaws in sideways markets.
* High-Low Mid captures pure Ichimoku-style ranges, good for structure-based traders.
* EMA reacts faster than RMA; use if you want early momentum signals.
* Zero-line flips act like momentum pivots—watch them near cloud boundaries.
* Signal line crossovers behave like MACD-style triggers.
* Strongest signals appear when oscillator, signal line, and Ichimoku Cloud all align.
👉 In short: Ichimoku Fractal Flow compresses multi-layered Ichimoku system into a single fractal oscillator that detects flow, pivotal shifts, and momentum with clarity—bridging price, cloud, and echoes into one signal. Where the cloud shows structure, IFF reveals the underlying flow. Together, they offer a fractal lens into market rhythm.
Broken Fractal : Someone's broken dream is your profit!Idea
The idea is simple : when market turns around, it traps a bunch of traders off guard. We trade with them, in the same direction of their exit!
Method
We let the market first create a fractal
We then let the market create an opposite fractal
We then let the market break the first fractal it created, thereby trapping lots of trades in the process
We then patiently wait till the market gives these trapped traders a chance to exit - and we trade in the same direction
How to use?
Green boxes are for long entry, red boxes are for short.
Whenever a box appears, that's the risk criteria - setup limit orders and trade along!
Works on all timeframes
If you like this script, please leave a note on how you are using it.
I personally use it with Higher Timeframe bias.
PS1 : some traders call this Break of market structure, some call it Breaker, I just call it "Broken Fractal"
PS2 : Break of a broken fractal is also very potent. Watch out for those!
HMA 34 Dual-Fractal Projections - VdubusVdubus MacD Divergence Trend Break Signal Generator :Here:-
HMA 18 Dual-Fractal Projections
Overview
The HMA 18 Dual-Fractal Projections is a technical analysis tool designed to identify market structure and potential breakout patterns by analyzing the pivots of a Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Unlike standard trendline indicators that struggle to balance "big picture" trends with immediate price action, this indicator utilizes a Dual-Fractal approach. It simultaneously calculates two separate timelines—Macro and Micro—to visualize both the dominant channel and the developing chart patterns (such as wedges or triangles) in real-time.
Visual Guide
The indicator plots three key elements on the main chart:
The HMA Line (Blue): A smooth, fast-acting moving average (default length 34) that serves as the baseline for all calculations.
Macro Structure (Solid, Thick Lines):
Red (Solid): Major Resistance.
Green (Solid): Major Support.
Purpose: Identifies the long-term trend channel. These lines react slowly and filter out noise.
Micro Structure (Dashed, Thin Lines):
Red (Dashed): Immediate Resistance.
Green (Dashed): Immediate Support.
Purpose: Identifies the short-term market structure. These lines react quickly to show forming wedges, triangles, or flags.
How It Works
The indicator applies a "Pivot High/Low" algorithm directly to the HMA data rather than raw price data. This filters out candle wicks and volatility, ensuring lines are drawn based on established momentum shifts.
Layer 1 (Macro): Uses a large "Lookback" period (default 44 bars) to find significant peaks and valleys. It connects the most recent major pivot to the previous one, projecting a line forward to show where the major trend channel lies.
Layer 2 (Micro): Uses a small "Lookback" period (default 10 bars) to find local peaks and valleys. This allows you to see how price is behaving within the larger channel.
Settings & Configuration
HMA Settings
HMA Length: The length of the Hull Moving Average.
Default: 34 (Matches the "visually pleasing" setting from recent testing).
Note: Set to 18 for a faster, more reactive baseline (scalping).
Layer 1: Macro (Big Channel)
Macro Lookback: Determines how many bars must pass before a peak is confirmed.
Default: 44. High values find broad, established channels.
Max Macro Lines: How many historical lines to keep on the chart.
Default: 1 (Keeps the chart clean, showing only the current structure).
Extend Macro Lines: Projects the lines infinitely to the right to predict future support/resistance zones.
Layer 2: Micro (Current Pattern)
Micro Lookback: A lower sensitivity setting to catch immediate structure.
Default: 10. Low values will pinpoint the exact boundaries of small wedges or flags forming right now.
Trading Strategy & Interpretation
1. The "Squeeze" (Wedge Identification) This is the primary use case.
Look for scenarios where the Macro Lines (Solid) are wide/parallel, but the Micro Lines (Dashed) are rapidly converging (pointing towards each other).
This indicates that while the main trend is intact, momentum is compressing. A breakout is imminent where the dashed lines intersect.
2. Trend Channels
When both Solid and Dashed lines are roughly parallel and sloping in the same direction, the trend is healthy and strong. Price is respecting both the short-term and long-term momentum.
3. Divergence / Early Reversal Warning
If the Macro Line is sloping UP, but the Micro Line starts sloping DOWN (crossing inside), it indicates a loss of momentum and a potential reversal before the price actually breaks the major trendline.
===========================================================================
2. Micro/Macro Cross Alert
A new input, Enable Micro/Macro Cross Alert, has been added under the "Alerts & Features" section.
This alert condition is triggered when the momentum of the Micro Structure exceeds the momentum of the Macro Structure, which is a high-probability signal for a breakout:
Bullish Alert: The Micro High (dashed red line) crosses above the Macro High (solid red line).
Bearish Alert: The Micro Low (dashed green line) crosses below the Macro Low (solid green line).
To set up the actual alert on your chart:
Right-click on the chart.
Select "Add alert on HMA 34 Dual-Fractal Projections".
In the Condition dropdown, select the indicator's name.
For the main alert criteria, choose "Any alert()".
Select your preferred alert actions (e.g., notification, email).

-== IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL INDICATOR ==-
What is this?
This work is a derivation of my previous Accumulation/Distribution scripts publicly available in TradingView in an effort to clean, speedup and make the indicator cleaner as possible.
The current indicator is based on already tested and Mathematically proof concepts as described below:
The MAIN Rolling back median line or "Vortex" is constructed by a simple and equal weighting of distributed volume along the candle range (This approach is just an "estimator" of Buyers Vs. Sellers given the lack of tick resolution in TradingView, a real "DELTA" can only be 100% reliable with Market Depth (Ask/Bid ticks)), Given this, with each "volume weights", the price is post-processed against a true statistical Average calculation formerly: ELASTIC VOLUME WEIGHTED MOVING AVERAGE.
The FRACTAL BANDS are just Standard Deviation's with GOLDEN RATIO as multiplier (1.618) derived one from each other within it's origin on the former "Vortex Median".
The Standard Error Bands comply as the original indicator described by Jon Andersen but given the true statistical nature of EVWMA, the original LinReg line has been substituted by the former.

Weierstrass Function (Fractal Cycles)THE WEIERSTRASS FUNCTION
f(x) = ∑(n=0)^∞ a^n * cos(b^n * π * x)
The Weierstrass Function is the sum of an infinite series of cosine functions, each with increasing frequency and decreasing amplitude. This creates powerful multi-scale oscillations within the range ⬍(-2;+2), resembling a system of self-repetitive patterns. You can zoom into any part of the output and observe similar proportions, mimicking the hidden order behind the irregularity and unpredictability of financial markets.
IT DOESN’T RELY ON ANY MARKET DATA, AS THE OUTPUT IS BASED PURELY ON A MATHEMATICAL FORMULA!
This script does not provide direct buy or sell signals and should be used as a tool for analyzing the market behavior through fractal geometry. The function is often used to model complex, chaotic systems, including natural phenomena and financial markets.
APPLICATIONS:
Timing Aspect: Identifies the phases of market cycles, helping to keep awareness of frequency of turning points
Price-Modeling features: The Amplitude, frequency, and scaling settings allow the indicator to simulate the trends and oscillations. Its nowhere-differentiable nature aligns with the market's inherent uncertainty. The fractured oscillations resemble sharp jumps, noise, and dips found in volatile markets.
SETTINGS
Amplitude Factor (a): Controls the size of each wave. A higher value makes the waves larger.
Frequency Factor (b): Determines how fast the waves oscillate. A higher value creates more frequent waves.
Ability to Invert the output: Just like any cosine function it starts its journey with a decline, which is not distinctive to the behavior of most assets. The default setting is in "inverted mode".
Scale Factor: Adjusts the speed at which the oscillations grow over time.
Number of Terms (n_terms): Increases the number of waves. More terms add complexity to the pattern.

Fractal DimensionFractal dimension, as described by BCA-research. When the function reaches the lower boundary, the fractal dimension collapses. This indicates that the market participants, on different time frames, now are all betting on the same direction. The market is now overextended. However, the boundary value is arbitrary and can be modified.
Santa's Secrets | FractalystSanta’s Secrets is a visually engaging trading tool that infuses holiday cheer into your charts. Inspired by the enchanting, mysterious vibes of the holiday season, this indicator overlays price charts with dynamic, multi-colored glitches that sync with market data, delivering a festive and whimsical visual experience.
The indicator brings a magical touch to your charts, featuring characters from classic holiday themes (e.g., Santa, reindeer, snowflakes, gift boxes) to create a fun and festive “glitch effect.” Users can select a theme for their matrix characters, adding a holiday twist to their trading visuals. As the market data moves, these themed characters are randomly picked and displayed on the chart in a colorful cascade.
Underlying Calculations and Logic
1.Character Management:
The indicator uses arrays to manage different sets of holiday-themed characters, such as Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes, and reindeer. These arrays allow dynamic selection and update of characters as the market moves, mimicking a festive glitch effect.
2. Current and Previous States:
Arrays track the current and previous states of characters, ensuring smooth transitions between visual updates. This dual-state management enables the effects to look like a magical, continuous movement, just like Santa’s sleigh cruising through the winter night.
3. Transparency Control:
Transparency levels are controlled through arrays, adjusting opacity to create subtle fading effects or more intense visual appearances. The result is a festive glow that can fade or intensify depending on the market’s volatility.
4. Rain Effect Simulation:
To create the “snowfall” or “glitching lights” effect, the indicator manages arrays that simulate falling characters, like snowflakes or candy canes, continuously updating their position and visibility. As new characters enter the top of the screen, older ones disappear from the bottom, with fading transparency to simulate a seamless flow.
5. Operational Flow:
• Initialization: Arrays initialize the characters and transparency controls, readying the script for smooth and continuous updates during trading.
• Updates: During each cycle, new characters are selected and the old ones shift, with updates in both content and appearance ensuring the matrix effect is visually appealing.
• Rendering: The arrays control how the characters are rendered, ensuring the magical holiday effect stays lively and eye-catching without interrupting the trading flow.
How to Use Santa’s Secrets Indicator
1. Apply the Indicator to Your Charts:
Add the Santa’s Secrets indicator to your chart, activating the holiday-themed visual effect on your selected trading instrument or time frame.
2. Select Your Holiday Theme:
In the settings, choose the holiday theme or character set. Whether it’s Santa’s sleigh, reindeer, snowflakes, or gift boxes, pick the one that brings the most festive cheer to your charts.
3. Choose Your Visual Effect (Snowfall or Glitch Burst):
Select between the “Snowfall” effect, where characters gently drift down the chart like snowflakes, or the “Glitch Burst” effect, where characters explode outward in a burst of holiday cheer, representing bursts of market volatility.
4. Adjust the Color for Holiday Vibes:
Customize the color of the characters to match your chart’s aesthetic or reflect different market conditions. Choose from red for a downtrend, green for an uptrend, or opt for a gradient of colors to capture a true holiday spirit.
5. Fit the Matrix to Your Display:
Adjust the width and height of the matrix display to make sure it fits perfectly with your chart layout. Ensure it doesn’t obscure your view while still providing the holiday-themed magic.

[FT] ADX-Multi-TF by FractalTraderAverage Directional Index is a way to determine trend strength (and whether there is a trend). One of the caveats is when you have trendless conditions on a higher timeframe. You can get whipsaw conditions on the current timeframe in that case.
The purpose of this script is to put ADX into the context of a higher degree trend on a single indicator.
Consolidation Channels (AstroHub)Consolidation Channels (AstroHub) Indicator
Overview:
The Consolidation Channels (AstroHub) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking to identify consolidation periods within financial markets. Unlike traditional indicators that merely follow trends or focus on specific trading strategies, this script utilizes a unique approach based on fractal dimension calculations and multidimensional momentum analysis to detect consolidation zones in price action.
Key Concepts:
Fractal Dimension (Di):
The script employs the concept of fractal dimension to define the consolidation period (N). The user can customize this parameter to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to consolidation patterns.
Multidimensional Momentum (M):
Multidimensional momentum is calculated by assessing the interaction between the closing prices (Pi) and opening prices (Pj) over a specified period (T). This dynamic calculation provides a comprehensive view of momentum changes in the market.
Consolidation Start:
The indicator marks the beginning of consolidation by identifying the lowest point in the multidimensional momentum. The consolidation start line is displayed on the chart, providing a clear reference for traders.
High and Low Lines:
High and low lines are drawn from the highest and lowest price levels over the consolidation period. These lines help visualize the upper and lower bounds of the consolidation channel.
Bar Color Change:
The color of each bar changes based on whether the closing price is above or below the consolidation start line. This visual cue assists traders in quickly identifying shifts in market dynamics.
Dashed Lines into the Future:
Dashed lines extending into the future from the high and low points of consolidation provide a forward-looking perspective, aiding traders in anticipating potential price movements.
How to Use:
Customization:
Adjust the input parameters (N, r, T, Z, Color1, Color2, Color3) to suit your trading preferences and market conditions.
Interpretation:
Look for periods where the bar color changes, indicating shifts in market sentiment during consolidation. Pay attention to the start of consolidation, high, and low lines for potential reversal or breakout signals.
Alerts:
Set up alerts for key events such as reaching the lowest point, closing above the high line, or closing below the low line to stay informed about potential trading opportunities.
Conclusion:
The Consolidation Channels (AstroHub) indicator goes beyond conventional trend-following techniques, offering traders a unique perspective on market consolidation. By combining fractal dimension analysis and multidimensional momentum calculations, this script equips traders with a valuable tool for identifying potential reversal zones and making informed trading decisions.

Fractal Levels [BigBeluga]The Fractal Levels - BigBeluga indicator is a specialized tool that detects significant market highs and lows, ranking them by their normalized volume. This indicator is designed to help traders identify crucial price levels that are likely to influence market behavior, enabling better decision-making in trading. By gathering normalized volume around each fractal point, it creates a comprehensive view of the strength and relevance of price reversal points, which can be visualized as numbers or zones on the chart.
🔵KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● High and Low Detection with Volume Ranking:
The indicator detects market highs and lows using a user-defined length setting. For each detected fractal point (high or low), it collects normalized volume from a set number of bars before and after the fractal point (the number is based on the length input). This collection allows the indicator to produce an average of the normalized volume, which is then displayed as a number above or below the corresponding fractal arrows, visually indicating the importance of the high or low.
● Plotting Levels from Fractals:
From these high and low points, the indicator plots key levels. In settings, traders can choose between a wide or tight zone type.
If a price level coincides with multiple pivot points, the indicator highlights this as a significant zone. These zones represent areas where price tends to react, making them critical for identifying potential support and resistance levels.
● Fractal Boxes with Delta Volume Data:
Fractal boxes are shown as gray boxes, representing areas where price pivots occurred, and they also contain delta volume information. Delta volume is calculated by summing the positive and negative volumes within the length range, producing the total delta inside each fractal box. This is particularly useful for analyzing volume shifts around key levels.
● Broken Levels Highlighting:
When a plotted level is broken (price closes above or below it), the level can be removed from the chart automatically. However, in the settings, you can enable a feature to highlight broken levels as gray areas, providing insight into past price behavior. This is helpful for tracking historical support and resistance zones.
> Important note: If no volume data provided indicator wont work
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Fractal Length and Filter Settings:
Adjust the Length parameter to control the number of bars used to detect pivot highs and lows. A longer length will result in fewer fractals being identified, focusing on more significant price moves. The Filter option allows you to set a volume threshold, filtering out minor fractals that do not meet the minimum volume requirements.
Levels Detection (Wide or Tight):
Choose between Wide and Tight zones for fractal levels detection. A tight zone focuses on smaller price areas around pivot points, while a wide zone expands the detection range, highlighting larger zones of influence around fractals.
Delta Volume Display for Fractals:
Toggle Delta Volume Fractals to show or hide the delta volume information inside fractal boxes. When enabled, the indicator calculates and displays the total delta volume within the range of bars surrounding each fractal point.
Broken Levels Visibility:
Enable Broken Levels to highlight levels that have been crossed by price. When disabled, broken fractal levels will be removed from the chart after price crosses them.
🔵CONCLUSION
The Fractal Levels indicator provides traders with an advanced way to analyze price highs and lows by combining fractal detection with volume dynamics. By identifying key market levels through normalized volume ranking, delta volume analysis, and level plotting, this tool is invaluable for spotting potential support and resistance zones. Whether you're focusing on short-term trading or longer-term price movements, Fractal Levels offers the precision and flexibility needed to optimize your strategy.

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.
