Fractal Nesting

Fractal Nesting draws market structure at three degrees at once: a short-term zigzag built from raw swing pivots, an intermediate-term path assembled from short-term swings, and a long-term path assembled from intermediate ones. It is the definitive clean build of fractal nesting: one recursive rule applied degree over degree, with ST/IT/LT tags, an alignment tint and a per-degree dashboard. Each higher degree is assembled from confirmed pivots of the degree below, so the three paths nest by construction.

How to Trade the Fractal Nesting?

• Full bullish or bearish alignment: when all three degrees are in same-direction legs the background tints and an alert fires, the trend-following condition.
• Mixed alignment: a short-term leg turning against the higher degrees is where pullbacks end or reversals begin; the alignment-broken alert flags the moment agreement fails.
• New IT and LT pivots: each confirmation (alertable) updates the dashboard's Last High and Last Low, tiered invalidation for the entry idea and the wider thesis.

Fractal Nesting Settings

• Base Pivot Length (default 1): bars required on each side of a raw pivot. 1 reproduces the classic recursive definition; larger values pre-filter noise at the cost of later confirmation.
• Short-Term / Intermediate-Term / Long-Term (all enabled by default): draw each degree's zigzag; the inline Labels toggles tag confirmed pivots (off for short-term, on for the higher degrees).
• Highlight Full Alignment (default enabled): background tint while every degree points the same way.
• Show Dashboard (default enabled), Position (default Top Right), Size (default Small): leg direction and latest confirmed high/low per degree, plus the combined alignment state.
• Degree colors, line widths and Label Size (default Tiny) are cosmetic.
