#TITLE
#PRC_Volatility Cycle Breakout | indicator

#DESCRIPTION
#The Volatility Cycle Breakout indicator draws range boxes overlaid on the price chart.
#The upper and lower side of the boxes are made from recent Fractals.
#New boxes will be drawn only if the volatility is weak and
#if the new fractals discovered are far enough from the current upper and lower ones.
#
#The volatility cycle is extracted from Bollinger Bands (InpBandsPeriod=18 is the bands period).
#Fractals lookback periods can be adapted to catch new fractals far in the history
#or near of the current price (cp=10).
#
#The change variable is the percent variation needed to change the support and resistance
#levels of the boxes (0.1% seems to work fine for intraday timeframes on forex pairs for instance).
#
#This setting is important because it will reduce the noises of moving boxes each
#time new Fractals are discovered, specially when price is ranging. It results
#erfect range boxes on price to play mean reversion strategy when price is not moving enough
#to make real breakout.
