Fractal Market Model [BLAZ]Version 1.0 – Published August 2025: Initial release
1. Overview & Purpose
1.1. What This Indicator Does
The Fractal Market Model is an original multi-timeframe technical analysis tool that bridges the critical gap between macro-level market structure and micro-level price execution. Designed to work across all financial markets including Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Futures, and Commodities. While traditional Smart Money Concepts indicators exist, this implementation analyses multi-timeframe liquidity zones and price action shifts, marking potential reversal points where Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity sweeps coincide with Low Timeframe (LTF) price action dynamics changes.

1.2. What Sets This Indicator Apart
The Fractal Market Model analyses multi-timeframe correlations between HTF structural events and LTF price action. This creates a dynamic framework that reveals patterns observed historically in price behaviour that are believed to reflect institutional activity across multiple time dimensions.
The indicator recognizes that markets move in fractal cycles following the AMDX pattern (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal). By tracking this pattern across timeframes, it flags zones where price action dynamics characteristics have historically shown shifts. In the LTF, the indicator monitors for price closing through the open of an opposing candle near HTF swing highs or lows, marking this as a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), a threshold event where price action historically transitions direction.
Practical Value:
Multi-Timeframe Integration: Connects HTF structural events with LTF execution patterns.
Fractal Pattern Recognition: Identifies AMDX cycles across different time dimensions.
Price Behavior Analysis: Tracks CISD patterns that may reflect historical shifts in order flow commonly associated with institutional activity.
Range-Based Context: Analyses price action within established HTF liquidity zones.
1.3. How It Works
The indicator employs a systematic 5-candle HTF tracking methodology:
Candles 0-1: Accumulation phase identification.
Candle 2: Manipulation detection (raids previous highs/lows).
Candle 3: Distribution phase recognition.
Candle 4: Continuation/reversal toward opposite liquidity.
The system monitors for CISD patterns on the LTF when HTF manipulation candles close with confirmed sweeps, highlighting zones where order flow dynamics historically shifted within the established HTF range.

3. Input Parameters and Settings
3.1. Alert Configuration
Setup Notifications: Users can configure alerts to receive notifications when new FMM setups form based on their selected bias, timeframes, and filters. Enable this feature by:
Configure the bias, timeframes and filters and other settings as desired.
Toggle the "Alerts?" checkbox to ON in indicator settings.
On the chart, click the three dots menu beside the indicator's name or press Alt + A.
Select "Add Alert" and click “Create” to activate the alert.
3.2. Display Control Settings
3.2.1. Historical Setup Quantity
Setup Display Control: Customize how many historical setups appear on the chart, with support for up to 50 combined entries. The indicator displays both bullish and bearish FMM setups within the selected limit, including invalidated scenarios. For example, selecting "3 setups" will display the most recent combination of bullish and bearish patterns based on the model's detection logic.
Snapshot details: BINANCE:BTCUSD , 1H Timeframe, 27-Feb to 11-Mar 2025
Note: The labels “Setup 1, 2 & 3: Bullish or Bearish” shown in the accompanying image are for demonstration purposes only and are not part of the indicator’s actual functionality.
3.2.2. Directional Bias Filter
Bias Filter: Control which setups are displayed based on directional preference:
Bullish Only: Shows exclusively upward bias setups.
Bearish Only: Shows exclusively downward bias setups.
Balanced Mode: Displays both directional setups.
This flexibility helps align the indicator's output with broader market analysis or trading framework preferences. The chart below illustrates the same chart in 3.2.1. but when filtered to show only bullish setups.

Note: The labels “Setup 1, 2 & 3: Bullish” shown in the accompanying image are for demonstration purposes only and are not part of the indicator’s actual functionality.
3.2.3. Invalidated Setup Display
Invalidation Visibility: A setup becomes invalidated when price moves beyond the extreme high or low of the Manipulation candle (C2), indicating that the expected fractal pattern has been disrupted. Choose whether to display or hide setups that have been invalidated by subsequent price action. This feature helps maintain chart clarity while preserving analytical context:
Amber Labels: Setups invalidated at Candle 3 (C3).
Red Labels: Setups invalidated at Candle 4 (C4).
Count Preservation: Invalidated setups remain part of the total setup count regardless of visibility setting.
Below image illustrates balanced setups:
Left side: 1 bearish valid setup, with 2 invalidated setups visible.
Right side: 1 bearish valid setup, with 2 invalidated setups hidden for chart clarity.

3.3. Timeframe Configuration
3.3.1. Multi-Timeframe Alignment
Custom Timeframe Selection: Configure preferred combinations of Higher Timeframe (HTF) and Lower Timeframe (LTF) for setup generation. While the indicator includes optimized default alignments (1Y –1Q, 1Q –1M, 1M –1W, 1M –1D, 1W–4H, 1D–1H, 4H-30m, 4H –15m, 1H –5m, 30m –3m, 15m –1m), users can define custom HTF-LTF configurations to suit their analysis preferences and market focus.
The image below illustrates two different HTF – LTF configuration, both on the 5 minutes chart:
Right side: Automatic multi-timeframe alignment, where the indicator autonomously sets the HTF pairing to 1H when the current chart timeframe is the 5 minutes.
Left side: Custom Timeframe enabled, where HTF is manually set to 4H, and LTF is manually set to 15 minutes, while being on the 5 minutes chart.
Snapshot details: FOREXCOM:GBPJPY , 5 minutes timeframe, 30 July 2025
3.3.2. Session-Based Filtering
Visibility Filters: Control when FMM setups appear using multiple filtering options:
Time-Based Controls:
Show Below: Limit setup visibility to timeframes below the selected threshold.
Use Session Filter: Enable session-based time window restrictions.
Session 1, 2, 3: Configure up to three custom time sessions with start and end times.
These filtering capabilities help concentrate analysis on specific market periods or timeframe contexts.
The image below illustrates the application of session filters:
Left side: The session filter is disabled, resulting in four setups being displayed throughout the day—two during the London session and two during the New York session.
Right side: The session filter is enabled to display setups exclusively within the New York session (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM). Setups outside this time window are hidden. Since the total number of setups is limited to four, the indicator backfills by identifying and displaying two qualifying setups from earlier price action that occurred within the specified New York session window.

4. Closed-Source Protection Justification
4.1. Why This Indicator Requires Protected Source Code
The Fractal Market Model is the result of original research, development, and practical application of advanced price action frameworks. The indicator leverages proprietary algorithmic systems designed to interpret complex market behavior across multiple timeframes. To preserve the integrity of these innovations and prevent unauthorized replication, the source code is protected.
4.1.1. Key Proprietary Innovations
Real-Time Multi-Timeframe Correlation Engine: A dynamic logic system that synchronizes higher timeframe structural behaviour with lower timeframe execution shifts using custom correlation algorithms, adaptive thresholds, and time-sensitive conditions, supporting seamless fractal analysis across nested timeframes.
CISD Detection Framework: A dedicated mechanism for identifying Change in State of Delivery (CISD), where price closes through the open of an opposing candle at or near HTF swing highs or lows after liquidity has been swept. This is used to highlight potential zones of directional change based on historical order flow dynamics.
Fractal AMDX Cycle Recognition: An engineered structure that detects and classifies phases of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal (AMDX) across configurable candle sequences, allowing traders to visualize market intent within a repeatable cycle model.
Dynamic Invalidation Logic: An automated monitoring system that continually evaluates the validity of active setups. Setups are invalidated in real time when price breaches the extreme of the manipulation phase (C2), ensuring analytical consistency and contextual alignment.
4.1.2. Community Value
