// Stock market moves in a highly chaotic way, but at a larger scale, the movements // follow a certain pattern that can be applied to shorter or longer periods of time // and we can use Indicator to identify those patterns. Basically, // Indicator helps us to identify whether the stock market is // trending or not. When a market is trending, the bands will have a slope and if market // is not trending the bands will flatten out. As the slope of the bands decreases, it // signifies that the market is choppy, insecure and variable. As the graph becomes more // and more abrupt, be it going up or down, the significance is that the market becomes // trendy, or stable. Indicator is used similarly to other bands-indicator // (Bollinger bands for instance), offering trading opportunities when price moves above or // under the fractal lines. // // The FCB indicator looks back in time depending on the number of time periods trader selected // to plot the indicator. The upper fractal line is made by plotting stock price highs and the // lower fractal line is made by plotting stock price lows. Essentially, the Fractal Chaos Bands // show an overall panorama of the price movement, as they filter out the insignificant fluctuations // of the stock price.
