FRAMA Algorithm

I've done a search, and have not been able to find any algorithms utilizing the FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average). Is there any specific reason why no one has attempted to utilize this? I am just inquiring before I spend the time working on this, if perhaps it would be a waste of time.I am really interested in looking deeply into fractals and its potential role in algo trading. Thanks!

I am also considering trying this algorithm. Have tested in in another environment and the indications I got from there were all positive. Did You decide to move further? For what it is worth, Ilya also implemented it in R back in 2014: https://quantstrattrader.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/frama-part-ii-replicating-a-simple-strategy/.

Here is also code for Metatrader:

However, I wanted to point out Ilya's conclusion after backtesting the strategy: https://quantstrattrader.wordpress.com/2014/07/16/frama-part-v-wrap-up-on-confirmatory-indicatortest-sample/. Less interested as of now.

I'm going to be working on this and hopefully clarify an ideal way to measure FRAMA..i code in mostly PY so it may take me a bit
