The Fractals Forex indicator for MT4, as the name suggests was designed some years ago for the Metatrader 4 platform.
Yet, it’s still a very popular trading indicator that draws fractals on the charts.
The vast majority of traders combine fractals with other technical analysis tools to built a complete Forex trading strategy.
The indicator is used to determine support and resistance levels on the chart.
It gives you a great overview of how the market is behaving in the short- and long term.
Tip: The indicator could work well for scalping purposes, we aim for 5-10 pips per trade (see buy and sell rules more down below).
Just load the Fractal indicator onto the Metatrader 4 chart and start trading with it in minutes.
