I want to create EA using fractals as follows:
when a new fractal is formed lower than the previous one and stochastic is up take buy and if new fractal formed above previous one and stochastic is down take sell. now the problem is i cant identify at which bar has the previous fractal been formed coz it depends on the market (its not fixed) is it shift 1 or 2 ...etc. so how can i set this on the SB as trading condition?

thanks

The initial reply was spam so don't worry about it. Our antispam took care of it.

It is difficult to use fractals because the signals are not reliable and come late (3 bars late), so you get many false signals, if you wait 3 bars in a 1 hr chart means a 3 hr wait. When people look at the chart after the fact, signals with fractals look perfect, and you see that it makes sense. Real - live trading is so different.
The best bet is to try to find a fractal modified indicator on the internet that reduces the number of false signals.
