Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal)
By LuxAlgoJun 20, 2023
Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) rebuilds the structure map from fractal patterns instead of classic swing points, labeling a change of character where a trend may be reversing and a break of structure where it extends. Fractals yield shorter, more frequent labels that adapt quickly to market changes — the trade-off is stricter swing recognition, which can leave some reversals unlabeled. An experimental build, and openly framed as one.
How to Trade the Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal)?
- CHoCH: the character of the move is shifting — treat it as a signal of potential trend reversal.
- BOS: price sets a new high or low in the prevailing direction, suggesting continuation.
- Support & resistance: optional levels drawn from the lowest and highest points within each detected structure's interval, akin to order blocks; a circle marks where a level is breached and stops extending.
- Length trade-off: higher settings target longer-term fractal patterns for a broader structural view, at the cost of later labels.
The built-in dashboard reports structure as a percentage of fractals detected — a quick sanity check on how well the fractal method is resolving into usable labels on the current market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use fractals instead of swing points?
Fractal patterns give a more granular, adaptive read with more frequent structure labels. The cost is restrictiveness: qualifying swings are stricter, so some genuine reversals never get labeled — worth testing against your market before committing.
How does it compare with the classic structure approach?
The classical swing-point method lives in Smart Money Concepts; this build is its experimental fractal-based counterpart. Running both, the dashboard's structure-to-fractal percentage helps quantify the difference.
Is Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) free to use?
Yes — it's freely available on the LuxAlgo Library. Quant, LuxAlgo's AI, can backtest it for you straight from this page.
