Fractal Boxes by Mobius for ThinkorSwim

[SleepyZ]

Is there a way to call pattern in thinkscript ? I want draw an arrow when price at certain level when there is a pattern form, for example when there is fractal pattern form I want to know when the price close above/below the up/down fractal, or when there is a doji form I want to draw arrows when price close below that doji, the code I have only show the fractals but it doesn't show arrow when price is close above/below last fractal, I also try to use wizard but it complete trash.

This may help you develop the code as you want. It adds the TOS doji indicator from the patterns dropdown in the upper right corner of the charr to the code you posted. It is displayed as a Line.

If anyone is familiar with the included script and link, would you be willing to elaborate on its usage?

Here is what the members that use Fractal Boxes by Mobius say:
This indicator was supposed to alert you to the downside break or the break beyond the Expected Move, possibly.
No one came back to say they were successful in that regard.

But it is said that it could be useful as a consolidation zone to help keep nervous folks in a trade by showing them there's no need to panic until it breaks out.

Here is a chart setup that one member found helpful:

Members mentions that the indicator in the first post did not refresh automatically.
