Documentation can be fun...

Working on some jsdoc comments documenting a routine that analyzes something called a fractal for chart analysis with trading, and well who says you can't have fun...
According to Bill Williams' book, Trading Chaos, a fractal only needs to incorporate a 3 bar diameter in total, but that's just nonsense with too many false signals. Even on a smaller timeframe with scalping. I'm sure fans of Williams will quote 31 interstellar dimensions and time travel, but in reality a 3 bar diameter produces too many false signals. Still, if you want to lose money and buy into that crap, more power to you. Don't say you weren't warned.
Edit: If anyone clicks on that fractal image link, be aware Investopedia is a joke and is wrong way more than it's right. Still, it's an image to link to...
