ANatoli, Nice work!

One question ...

The MultiPercentageSegmentZZ looks like it has a bug in the attached files. GetZigZagData function of zz_current0, zz_current1, zz_current2 does not have h_buff,l_buff  






Should it be like this?

//| Fill in the indicator buffers                                    |

void FillIndicatorBuffers(const int i,const int total,const datetime &time[])
  {

   datetime start_time_in =NULL;
   datetime stop_time_in  =NULL;

   CopyBuffer(zz_handle_htf,3,time[i],stop_time,l_zz_buffer_temp);

Did anyone compile without errors?

Unfortunately there is no archive with fully working Part 2 application. There is nothing to test.

More than 10 years ago I was also "fascinated" by zigzags and created a large number of them.

In the Attach there are examples - multi-zigzag for 9 timeframes and Zigzag Builder, etc. a small number of developments based on zigzags.

But the practical sense is important. Much more serious is the task of identifying those ektremums, from which you can "push back" when analysing.

As an example:

We have chosen three extrema with the help of a zigzag. We tied the Andrews Fork to them. And we see that the market exactly reached the dotted line a few days ago and exactly broke away from it.

And there are a lot of such pictures. Not any extrema found by a zigzag can be used for this purpose.

In the menu picture with numbers 0-10 and 12-14 there are 14 zigzag algorithms. And at number 11 there are 7 more zigzag algorithms for finding patterns. There are 21 algorithms in total.

In the attachment you can create a lot of algorithms with the help of the Constructor. You can use them in your own developments.

And more pictures

Going down


Let's go even lower and see how the extremum at number 1 on the chart above was formed.

This is not achieved by grinding the rays and extrema of the zigzag. And not by calculating some not quite clear statistical patterns of the zigzag.

It is more important to find such an algorithm that would detect significant extrema.

Can I use all these MZZ9 for MT5?
