Why This Approach?

Many conventional systems rely on oscillators that can lag or produce conflicting signals in modern markets. This framework returns to foundational price structure using Bill Williams-style fractals to identify swing points and market bias.

No RSI, CCI, Bollinger, or MACD
Pure structure and fractal-based
Dynamic adaptation
ATR assists with volatility-aware buffers
Clear, executable rules
Suitable for systematic implementation

Key Differentiators

Structure First
Higher highs / lower lows identified via confirmed fractals provide bias without subjective trend lines.
Fractal Breakouts
Participation triggered only on confirmed closes beyond opposing fractal levels in the direction of structure.
Risk Discipline
1% account risk per plan with dynamic position sizing based on distance to protection anchor.

Core Logic

Precise, rules-based conditions for identifying participation opportunities.

UPSIDE

Bullish Participation Opportunity

  • 01 Confirm bullish structure: Most recent Up Fractal price is higher than the previous Up Fractal.
  • 02 Price closes above the most recent Down Fractal (confirmed fractal).
  • 03 Protection anchor placed below the Down Fractal with ATR-based dynamic buffer.
  • 04 Harvest target set at approximately 2× the risk distance.
DOWNSIDE

Bearish Participation Opportunity

  • 01 Confirm bearish structure: Most recent Down Fractal price is lower than the previous Down Fractal.
  • 02 Price closes below the most recent Up Fractal (confirmed fractal).
  • 03 Protection anchor placed above the Up Fractal with ATR-based dynamic buffer.
  • 04 Harvest target set at approximately 2× the risk distance.
Only confirmed fractals (minimum 2 bars to the right) are considered. This reduces repainting issues common in fractal-based systems.

Parameters

Parameter Default Value Description
Risk Percent per Plan 1.0% Maximum risk per participation opportunity as percentage of account balance.
ATR Period 14 Period for Average True Range used in dynamic stop buffer and position sizing.
Reward-to-Risk Ratio 2.0 Initial harvest target distance relative to protection anchor distance.
Magic Number 202605 Unique identifier for orders generated by this system.
Max Spread Filter 30 points Skips participation if current spread exceeds this threshold.

Parameters are intentionally minimal for clarity and robustness. Optimization on specific instruments and timeframes is recommended.

Execution Sequence

A disciplined, repeatable process for every opportunity.

01
Scan Market
Identify recent confirmed Up and Down Fractals on the chart.
02
Assess Structure
Determine if recent fractals show Higher Highs (bullish) or Lower Lows (bearish).
03
Wait for Trigger
Price must close beyond the opposing fractal in the direction of the structure.
04
Plan Risk
Place protection anchor at nearest fractal. Calculate position size for 1% account risk.
05
Execute & Protect
Enter the position. Set harvest target at 2× risk. Monitor actively.
06
Review & Adjust
Trail stops or exit at next fractal or when target is reached. Log the outcome.

Important Risk Disclosure

All forms of market participation involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for every individual. Past performance, backtests, or illustrative results are not indicative of future outcomes. The information presented here is strictly for educational and illustrative purposes and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.

Before considering any participation, carefully evaluate your financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. Only use capital that you can afford to lose. It is strongly recommended to thoroughly backtest and forward-test any system on a demo account before risking real capital. Regulatory requirements and market conditions vary by jurisdiction.
