MTF Fractals Indicator for MT4 – Multi-Timeframe Trend Reversal Tool
The MTF Fractals Indicator for MetaTrader 4 is a powerful technical tool used to identify potential trend reversals, retracements, and the emergence of new trends. By displaying fractals from multiple timeframes directly on a single chart, the indicator allows traders to enter positions at more favorable price levels and capture strong market moves with improved precision.
One of its key advantages is that it works without repainting, making its signals more reliable for real-time trading decisions.
How the MTF Fractals Indicator Works
The MTF (Multi-Timeframe) Fractals Indicator overlays fractal levels from different timeframes onto one selected chart, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tabs.
Default Settings
Up Fractals → Highlighted in Blue
Down Fractals → Highlighted in Red
When you hover your cursor over a fractal line, the indicator displays:
The timeframe on which the fractal was formed
The exact price level
This makes it highly convenient for traders who incorporate fractal theory into their trading systems. Instead of analyzing each timeframe separately, traders can see complete structural information in one view.
The indicator can be used as:
A standalone trend structure tool
A confirmation element within an existing strategy
A Support And Resistance reference system

Final Verdict
