01/07/2020 - Last update: fixed a bug
Bill Williams Fractal Indicator is used to identify potential supports and resistances in the past prices, so the signals are very much delay and the purpose of this modification is to reduce noise from the given signals.
Let me know if there's any bug. Cheers

Hi All
Problem with indicator.
Loads onto chart and shows the writing in the corner.
Does NOT put the arrows on the chart. They are not there or invisible.
Can you please help
