Default fractals indicator needs some work

Hello Spotware,
(Reposted from cTrader Algo section)
I've found a few issues with the Fractals indicator that I think need to be addressed.
- While it has a method for using it inside other indicators and robots, it doesn't have an overload for the shift parameter
//There's no method to input the shift value
_fractals = Indicators.Fractals(Period, Shift);
- The minimum value for a fractal is 5, but a fractal could be smaller (using 3 bars should be the minimum)
- The original Fractals indicator allows for even numbers, but it doesn't change it's output, which means it only processes odd numbers
- Some users consider a fractal with two equal consecutive tops valid; others want to ignore it, it would be nice to have this as an option
- It repaints, which is a problem for some users, it would be better if it waits for confirmation
