Hi!
I'm just starting to program and I need help.
Did not get to write code fractal trend.
Fractal trend shown in the screenshot.
The growing trend is based on fractals number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
FractalDownBar: 1 <2 <3
FractalUpBar: 2 <4
Fractals have to go in order: FractalDownBar-FractalUpBar-FractalDownBar-FractalUpBar-FractalDownBar, ie 1-2-3-4-5.
There are only a part of the code.

					AnnotateBar(_upFractal, fbar, true, Color.Silver, Color.Transparent, _wing);

Welcome to the forums Mikhail.

Have you downloaded this Strategy: ActiveTrader 2013-10 | Fractal Breakout? If not, I recommend that you do so. It's a complete fractal-based trading strategy.

P.S. As your screenshot does not load, next time you might want to attach files directly to your post via "Add Attachments" (file must be PNG/JPG below 2-3MB in size). No need in external sources for posting pictures.
