Rod,

Try this..  I defined them as symbols under an expert..

Fractal Buy:

 If( HIGH >  Ref( HIGH  , -1 ), 1 ,0 )  AND  If( HIGH >  Ref( HIGH  , -2 ), 
1 ,0 ) AND
 If( HIGH > Ref( HIGH  , +1 ), 1 ,0 )
AND  If( HIGH >  Ref( HIGH  , +2 ), 1 ,0 )

Fractal Sell:

 If( LOW < Ref( LOW  , -1 ), 1 ,0 )  AND  If( LOW <  Ref( LOW  , -2 ), 1 ,0 
) AND
 If( LOW < Ref( LOW , +1 ), 1 ,0 )
AND  If( LOW <  Ref( LOW , +2 ), 1 ,0 )

Subject: How do I identify fractals on my charts with MS 6.5


    Can anyone help me with the proper syntax for entering up and down 
fractals as an expert symbol?  I've been trying to use the REF and HHV 
formulas in various combinations, ie: HHV( HIGH,3) >  HHV(HIGH ,5 )AND 
HHV(HIGH,3) > HHV(HIGH,4) AND HHV(HIGH,3) > HHV(HIGH,2) AND HHV(HIGH,3) > 
HHV(HIGH,1)..etc. These are entered as indicators I created called "fractal 
up" and "fractal down". Then the indicators are referenced by the expert I 
created in order to generate a symbol. What I'm trying to do is create a 
symbol on my charts to place a symbol above the up or below the down 
fractal bar.
     The fractal bar is defined as the center bar where the two preceding 
and two following bars have a lower high than the center bar for an up 
fractal, and where the two preceding and two following bars have a higher 
low than the center bar for a down fractal.
    I've spent some serious time this past holiday weekend to my wifes' 
dismay working on this and I am going in circles on it it seems. Any help 
would be much appreciated. I feel like I'm just missing this thing by a 
hair. Thanks for feeling my pain.
