Fractal Retracement [Jamallo]

(2025)

Intro
FRAMA is a moving average that adapts its speed based on fractal geometry — specifically, the fractal dimension (D) of recent price action. When price is trending strongly (low fractal dimension), it moves fast. When price is choppy/ranging (high fractal dimension), it slows down. This makes it far more responsive than a standard EMA or SMA.

Breakdown:

The indicator wraps this[FRAMA logic] with a continuous range logic layer: the

filtered line = k

only moves if price breaks beyond the FRAMA ± ATR-based range, creating a stepped/ratcheting effect that filters out noise.

Two sets of bands are plotted around the filtered line, scaled by ATR multiplied by user-defined multipliers (tight at 0.5×, medium at 1.0×). They're smoothed with a short EMA to reduce jitter, and filled with gradient colors for visual clarity.

Direction is simply determined by whether

k

is rising or falling, and colors everything green (uptrend) or pink/red (downtrend).

END
In short, it's a noise-filtered trend indicator useful for identifying trend direction, dynamic support/resistance, and gauging how far price has retraced from the trend baseline.
