C#Python

Fractals Fractals(int periods)

api.Indicators.Fractals(periods: int) -> Fractals

Parameters

Name	C# type	Python type	Description
`periods`	`int`	`int`	Fractals Period

Returns Fractals — Fractals

Examples

C#Python

// A fractal value is NaN on bars without a fractal
if (!double.IsNaN(fractals.UpFractal.Last(3)))
    Print("Up fractal at {0}", fractals.UpFractal.Last(3));

import math
fractals = api.Indicators.Fractals(5)
# A fractal value is NaN on bars without a fractal
if not math.isnan(fractals.UpFractal.Last(3)):
    api.Print(f"Up fractal at {fractals.UpFractal.Last(3)}")

Fractals(Bars bars, int periods)

The fractal indicator is a trading indicator used in technical analysis that is used to identify potential trend reversal points in a market.
