Description
If you trade price action, you already know that the most
important levels on any chart are fractal highs and lows β
the swing points where price rejected, reversed, or broke
structure. Frac High Low Lines finds those points for you
and draws them automatically, so you can focus entirely on
reading price rather than managing drawings.

HOW IT WORKS
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The indicator uses classic Williams fractal logic to confirm
pivot points. A fractal high is only valid when its high is
strictly greater than the surrounding bars on both sides. A
fractal low is only valid when its low is strictly lower.
Once confirmed, a horizontal line is drawn from that pivot
and extended forward β giving you a clear visual reference
for every significant structural level on the chart.
No repainting. Fractals are only confirmed after enough bars
have closed on both sides, so levels never appear and
disappear as price moves.

β’ Auto fractal detection β scans all bars on load, then
updates in real time as new bars form
β’ Configurable fractal period β use period 2 for every
minor swing, or increase it to isolate only the major
structural highs and lows
β’ Max lines control β independently limit how many
resistance and support lines show at once, keeping your
chart clean and focused on recent structure
β’ Broken level removal β optionally auto-removes a line
when price closes through it, so only unbroken levels
remain visible
β’ Full visual control β set color, thickness, and line
style (Solid, Dash, Dot) independently for highs and
lows
β’ Lightweight β each line is drawn once and never redrawn,
so performance stays smooth even on M1 or M5 charts

Summary
The indicator updates in real time as new bars form and scans all bars on load. It offers configurable fractal periods to capture minor or major swings, controls to limit the number of displayed lines for clarity, and an option to automatically remove lines when price closes through them. Users can customize line color, thickness, and style independently for highs and lows. The indicator is lightweight, drawing each line once to maintain smooth performance even on low timeframes like M1 or M5.
fractal_high_low works on any symbol and timeframe within the cTrader platform and supports markets including Forex, stocks, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. It aids traders in identifying market structure, planning entries, setting stops, and spotting reversal or breakout zones.
