    Hi all,

    Anyone know how to call out the low of a candle which formed at the most recent fractal low so I can use it in a system to place a stop loss at that level once my buy conditions have been met?

    Many thanks in advance for any input.

    The code found in this indicator might help you:

    Pivot Support/Resistance Zones

    Adapted like this it should return value SupportPrice that can be used as your SL level:

    PivotBAR     = 2                      //2  bars AFTER  pivot
    LookBack     = 2                      //2  bars BEFORE pivot
     
    BarLookBack  = PivotBAR + 1
    IF low[PivotBAR] < lowest[LookBack](low)[BarLookBack] THEN
     IF low[PivotBAR] = lowest[BarLookBack](low) THEN
       SupportPrice  = low[PivotBAR]
     ENDIF
    ENDIF
    

     

    Change the PivotBar and LookBack setting depending on how you exactly define a new fractal.

    Not tested.
