Hi, Im using the following formulas for fractals that I found on the board:

For high:

H2 * ABS(H < H1 AND H1 < H2 AND H2 > H3 AND H3 > H4)

For low:

L2 * ABS (L > L1 AND L1 > L2 AND L2 < L3 AND L3 < L4)

I was wondering if theres a way to create a scanner that shows stock gettin the price near (before it crosses) the level of the most recent fractal.

Example: If the up fractal is at $70, i want to see when the price is .05% below that price which is 69.65.

The same for a low fractal, if the fractal level is at $70, I want to see the stock hiting the scanner when the price is .05% above 70, which is $70.35.

The Thursday, February 11, 2016 12:21:23 PM ET post in the following topic has formulas for plotting the value of the most recent fractal high and fractal low based on the formulas given in your post.

Fractal

We can check for price being within .05% of the fractal high without going above it using the following formula (note that 0.05% is an extremely tight percentage to use).

The following topic has formulas similar to the formulas in the Fractal topic but using a slightly different definition of fractals.

QUANTIFYING FRACTALS

great!!

what if I want to change the % to .50% (my mistake I meant .5 not .05)??

Also, how can I copy/paste the formula in the condition PCF formula window??

thanks Bruce.

Do you see the .00025 instances at the end of both formulas? This is half of the .0005 would would represent 0.05%. If you want to use 0.5% instead, you can change .00025 to .0025 instead.

You would also need to change .99975 and 1.00025 as well as these represent 1 either - or + .00025.

Hi Bruce, Im trying to use this scanner again but im not getting any results, tried with price within .05% and 0.5% of the fractal, any idea if im missing something here?

Please take a look at the altered formulas and explanation given above.

Got it, thanks!,

one more question, what would be the formula if I want to add one more condition for each scanner:

1. For fractal high scanner I want to see only stocks that price opened below the fractal level.

2. For fractal low scanner I want to see only stocks that the price opened above the fractal level.

I actually can't think of a good way to do this.

Obviously I have calculated the values of the fractals, so it is really just matter of comparing the open to that value. The syntax for that is straightforward.

The problem is that the formulas for the values of the fractals are very long (as can be seen a above) and more than a bit slow. It is why the formula is written the way it is so I only had to write the formula for the fractal portion once in each of the formulas even though there was both an upper and lower bound of the value of price relative to the fractal.

I don't see any way to add the new requirements without repeating the fractal portion of each formula. This would make the formula to long and slow to be practical or post in the forums without dramatically decreasing the lookback for how many bars ago the fractal most recently happened.
