📍 Fractal Arrows: Geometric Precision in Market Timing
Fractal Arrows in RelicusRoad Pro identify key market turning points using fractal geometry principles. These arrows mark significant highs and lows that represent natural market structure points, giving you the precision to enter trades at optimal levels with mathematical backing.
Understanding Market Fractals
What Are Fractal Arrows?
Fractal Arrows identify:
- Significant market highs and lows
- Natural reversal points
- Market structure breakpoints
- Support and resistance origins
- Pattern completion zones
These arrows appear at fractal points - specific price formations that represent local extremes in market structure.
The Mathematics Behind Fractals
Fractal Formation Rules:
- Bearish Fractal: High surrounded by two lower highs on each side
- Bullish Fractal: Low surrounded by two higher lows on each side
- Time Symmetry: Equal observation periods before and after
- Price Validation: Clear high/low formation
RelicusRoad Enhancement:
- Volume-weighted fractal validation
- Multi-timeframe fractal alignment
- Institutional activity confirmation
- False fractal filtering

Core Fractal Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: The Fractal Breakout
Concept: Trade breakouts beyond fractal levels
Setup Requirements:
- Clear fractal formation
- Consolidation near fractal level
- Breakout momentum building
- Volume confirmation available
Bullish Breakout Execution:
- Fractal identification: Bullish fractal arrow formed
- Consolidation phase: Price ranges above fractal low
- Breakout signal: Price breaks above consolidation
- Entry timing: Enter on breakout confirmation
- Stop placement: Below fractal low
- Target setting: Next fractal high or resistance
Risk Management:
- Stop loss: Below fractal level (typically 10-20 pips)
- Target: 1.5-3x stop distance
- Position size: Standard allocation
Strategy 2: The Fractal Retest
Concept: Trade retests of broken fractal levels
Setup Requirements:
- Fractal level clearly broken
- Price returns to test broken level
- Level now acts as support/resistance
- Rejection signals at retest
Execution Protocol:
- Initial break: Fractal level broken with conviction
- Retest phase: Price returns to test broken level
- Level hold: Former resistance becomes support (or vice versa)
- Rejection confirmation: Clear bounce off level
- Entry execution: Enter on retest rejection
- Stop placement: Beyond retest failure point
Success Factors:
- Clean initial break
- Clear retest rejection
- Volume confirmation
- Time gap between break and retest
Strategy 3: The Fractal Support/Resistance
Concept: Use fractal levels as dynamic support/resistance
Setup Requirements:
- Multiple fractal touches at level
- Level acts as support/resistance
- Clear bounce patterns
- Market structure respect
Trading Approach:
- At Support: Look for bullish rejection signals
- At Resistance: Look for bearish rejection signals
- Multiple Touches: Increased level significance
- Break Signal: Major move when level fails

Common Fractal Trading Mistakes
❌ Mistake #1: Premature Entry
Problem: Entering before fractal confirmation Solution: Wait for complete fractal formation
❌ Mistake #2: Ignoring Timeframe Context
Problem: Trading all fractals equally Solution: Consider fractal timeframe significance
❌ Mistake #3: Poor Risk Management
Problem: Not using fractal levels for stops Solution: Place stops beyond fractal invalidation
❌ Mistake #4: Pattern Anticipation
Problem: Predicting fractal completion Solution: Wait for mathematical confirmation
❌ Mistake #5: Single Timeframe Focus
Problem: Only looking at one timeframe Solution: Use multi-timeframe fractal analysis
