Fractal Volatility Map
- Göstergeler
- Sürüm: 1.81
Fractal Volatility Map highlights volatility compression before expansion. It paints a five-row heatmap of the Hurst metric over multiple lookback windows and confirms compression with an ATR-based quiet-volatility check. When several rows cluster near neutral and volatility is suppressed, a Compression signal is shown on the last closed bar. This is an analysis/visualization indicator; it does not provide trading signals and does not guarantee any profit.
Main functions
- Five-row heatmap showing market character across multiple lookbacks.
- Compression signal on the last closed bar when clustering and low volatility align.
- Compact on-chart panel with legend and key stats (counts near neutral, spread, volatility ratio, last change time).
- Optional alerts on compression (popup, sound, push).
How it works (overview)
The heatmap summarizes persistence vs. mean-reversion across several windows. A simple volatility filter compares current ATR to a smoothed baseline. When rows cluster near neutral and volatility is quieter than usual, the indicator marks a potential compression zone that often precedes range breaks or directional expansions.
How to use
- Attach the indicator to any MT5 chart.
- Watch for a Compression signal on the last closed bar.
- Plan entries around a confirmed break of your chosen structure (for example, recent range or session high/low) and manage risk with your own rules.
- If the market is very noisy, increase smoothing or require stronger clustering; if signals are too rare, relax those settings.
Customization (Inputs)
- Lookback windows: choose up to five row lengths.
- Clustering: tolerance near neutral, minimum rows required, maximum spread across rows.
- Volatility filter: ATR period, smoothing length, required quiet-volatility ratio.
- Display: panel visibility and layout, text sizes, paddings, color palette or custom colors.
- Alerts: enable/disable popup, sound, and push notifications.
Notes
- No DLLs required; no external libraries.
- Indicator only; it does not open, manage, or close trades.
- Results may vary by broker feed and available history; more history improves stability.
Limitations
- Compression does not imply direction by itself; use your own confirmation and risk management.
- Very unusual conditions may reduce clustering quality; adjust sensitivity if needed.
