Hi Sierra Support, Im looking at the list of technical indicators and only see the Bill Williams fractal indicator. What im observing is a standard fractal calculation vs Bill Williams fractal indicator may be different as many fractal points are getting missed. Can you please let me know if you guys can add a standard Fractal indicator based on a simple 5 bar formation without any other adjustments. Thanks in advance, AD. |

Do you have the formula for this? If it is simple, we should be able to add it.

No I do not have the formula required to input for this indicator, sorry. Nor am I aware of how to go about getting it. It maybe possible to copy and paste a formula used on another platform I can double check, but I don`t know if this would help. Please let me know. Thanks. |

Go ahead and post what you have. But we cannot make any promises about if we could add it or not. We are quite busy with other things now.

Im posting a code from another platform. Hopefully this helps. If not I don`t think there is anything more I can do.

User53765, have a look at Sierra Chart's study called Swing High And Low. Maybe this is what you're looking for. |

Thanks Tobi fx, Swing high low does have the same effect that I was looking for. All the best, AD. |
