Thank you once again Dimitris. (HHP here - I hijacked the thread
from Herbert). This is an approach I hadn't even considered, so
thank you also for the lesson. You are a great teacher.

Herbert,
thank you for the explanation.
The fractal you describe is a set of n [orange] bars,where the 3rd of
them is the highest.
Of course it looks [strongly] into the future and I really wonder for
its use.
Anyway, here is the ind. builder code.
fractalwidth=5; //calibrate the width here
cond1=Ref(H,3-fractalwidth)==HHV(H,fractalwidth);
fractal=BarsSince(Ref(Cond1,-1+fractalwidth))<fractalwidth ;
Plot(C,"",fractal*colorRed+1,64);
PlotShapes(shapeDownArrow*Ref(Cond1,-3+fractalwidth),colorRed);//the
fractal peak
PlotShapes(shapeUpTriangle*Cond1,colorOrange);//the fractal exit
The fractal is known at the [orange triangle] exit.
The
Filter=Cond1;
will help to search for already formatted fractals.
