The Fractal Channel indicator for Metatrader 4 draws a buy/sell trading channel on the chart, solely based on the popular Fractals indicator.
The indicator appears as two white colored lines on the main chart window.
The upper white line acts as resistance while the lower white line acts as support.
The Fractal Channel indicator works well if you are looking for 5-20 pips per trade.
Buy & sell signal:
- In an uptrending market, buy the currency pair when price touches the lower white support line.
- In a downtrending market, sell the currency pair when price touches the upper white resistance line.
From our testings, the indicator does not repaint and works for any currency pair and time frame without slowing down the trading platform.
It can be used as a standalone technical tool or it can be combined with other technical indicators and trading strategies.
