Overview
Fractals plots down fractal markers above the bar for swing highs and up fractal markers below the bar for swing lows. The Periods setting controls how many bars on each side are compared to determine each fractal. Markers serve as visual signals for trend changes and appear directly on the price chart. This is a basic tool useful for spotting support and resistance levels across various markets.
