Williams Fractal Indicator – FX Replay Guide

In FX Replay, the Williams Fractal Indicator is used to identify swing highs and lows that signal potential trend reversals, breakouts, or trade entries. It’s especially effective when paired with tools like Alligator, VWAP, or liquidity zones during session-based backtesting.

How to Use It in FX Replay

Add the Indicator:

• Go to the Indicators panel.
• Search for “Williams Fractal” and apply it.
• You’ll see small arrows above/below price denoting top/bottom fractals.

Interpreting Fractals

• Top Fractal (Bearish) = possible resistance/reversal zone.
• Bottom Fractal (Bullish) = possible support/reversal zone.
• A break of a fractal signals potential continuation or reversal.

Trade Entry Strategy

• Long Entry: Wait for price to close above a recent top fractal → bullish breakout.
• Short Entry: Wait for price to close below a recent bottom fractal → bearish breakout.

Confirm with:

• Volume spike
• VWAP reclaim
• FVG fill or retest

Stop-Loss & Risk Management

• Set stop just below bullish fractal swing low (for longs).
• Set stop just above bearish fractal swing high (for shorts).
• Adjust based on structure, ATR, or session volatility.

Pair with FX Replay Tools

Use with:

• Alligator Indicator to confirm trend status (awake/trending).
• SMMA or TEMA to filter direction.
• FVG zones, volume divergence, or liquidity sweep detection for confluence.

Backtesting Tips

Track setups like:

• “Fractal + volume breakout”
• “Fractal + Alligator trend confirmation”
• “False breakout through fractal + reversal tag”

Pro Tip

In FX Replay, Williams Fractals are ideal for tagging breakout zones and tracking structure breaks. Use them to:

• Define clean entry points.
• Validate trend continuation or reversal setups.
• Filter out low-probability entries when no fractal structure is forming.

For stronger setups, wait for:

• Fractal break + confirmation candle
• Retest of broken fractal level
• Confluence with VWAP or session-level price reaction
