Frequently Asked Questions

This indicator identifies possible reversal points in the market based on fractal patterns, where a center bar is higher or lower than its surrounding bars. It is a useful tool for traders seeking early confirmation of trend shifts, particularly when used alongside other directional strategies.

A fractal is a pattern of an odd number of bars, such as 3, 5, or 7, where the middle bar is the highest high (bearish reversal) or lowest low (bullish reversal). The indicator confirms and marks the fractal only after the full pattern has completed and all bars have closed.

It is a reactive indicator, meaning it confirms reversal points after the pattern has formed. However, this delay is minimal and provides solid entry opportunities for traders who already have a bias or a broader strategy in place.

No. This indicator is fully non-repainting and non-backpainting. Once a fractal signal is displayed, it remains on the chart permanently, making it trustworthy for real-time trading and historical review.

You can adjust the number of bars used to form a fractal (must be odd numbers like 5, 7, 9, etc.), the number of historical bars to evaluate (Max History Bars), the color and size of symbols/arrows, and whether alerts are enabled.

The indicator supports several types of alerts, including popup, sound, email, and mobile push notifications. Alerts are triggered when a new reversal fractal is confirmed on the chart.

Yes. The PZ Reversal Fractals indicator works across Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. It adapts to different market behaviors and can be used on any timeframe, though higher timeframes typically provide more reliable signals.

No. This indicator is not intended to be a standalone trading system. It provides timing for entries within a larger strategy and should be used by traders who already have a directional view of the market.

Use it as a tool for timing entries or exits in combination with other analysis methods. For example, if your valuation model indicates a bullish outlook, a bullish reversal fractal can be a timely entry point. It is also effective as a confirmation tool after price reaches support or resistance.

Shorter fractals (like 3 or 5 bars) are more responsive but may generate more signals, including noise. Longer fractals (7, 9, 11 bars) provide fewer but stronger signals. The optimal setting depends on your trading style and the volatility of the asset.

Yes. You can adjust the size and color of the fractal markers, as well as the styling of any support or resistance lines it may draw. This allows you to tailor the visuals to your charting layout.

If performance becomes an issue, reduce the Max History Bars setting in the inputs. This limits how many candles the indicator processes on load, improving speed and reducing resource usage.

It is designed for desktop platforms that support custom indicators, such as MetaTrader. Some alert functions (like push notifications) may work on mobile if properly configured, but full functionality is best experienced on desktop.

It’s simple to use visually, but it’s best suited for traders who already have a strategy or directional bias. It’s not a “plug-and-play” buy/sell signal system — it works best when integrated into a structured trading plan.
